Indians, particularly the educated youth and middle classes, became increasingly aware of, and disillusioned by, their country’s lackluster economic performance (especially when compared to their erstwhile peer, the People’s Republic of China). They saw that their globally celebrated political system was only superficially liberal and procedurally democratic. The incongruities between what the “liberals and secular­ists” espoused and the actual outcomes only magnified their skepticism and contempt for the political establishment. With a populace now less quiescent and no longer willing to passively accept the narrative of the self-serving “secular” political class, impatience for change became palpable.
