[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You are correct, he is merely the presumed PM if his party retakes power. The way folks over there add credibility to their stands on religion is to form a mob of a million people or so, then they go around burning government buildings and mosques. I don’t know about you, but I think this could lead to a problem with two hostile nuclear powers facing off on the subcontinent. IMHO you have a problem understanding that while you may be a rational political actor, most people in the world are not.

This is possible, but by no means certain. The BJP has several possible candidates for PM, including past party president LK Advani.

I believe that Kashmir and infiltration by Pakistani backed Muslim militia will continue to be the main source of friction between India and Pakistan.
