Is the AAP dead by the way? I liked them.

So is this a symptom of the caste system itself being less relevant? Could this portend a post-caste India? After all, I note that Modi seems to have promised a lot more AA based on wealth rather than caste ("there are only two castes") - should we read anything deeper in this?

would Rahul be succeeded by Priyanka or will they give someone outside the dynasty a go?

Surely the BJP is so powerful at this point they don't even need Shiv Sena as a partner to get into government?

Thanks jaichind

what is the actual electorate of Shiv Sena as opposed to the BJP? I know a bit about the Thackeray cult and how the party was originally based around Marathi interests back in the day, but what niche do they fill that isn't being filled by the saffron party? Is it still just for Marathis who think the state is dominated by Gujratis and Southerners?
