India's Federal Parliament Election Results are out. As were expected, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the leadership of Narendra Modi has secured the majority in 16th Lok Sabha.
The whole world was watching India's elections particularly for two reasons. India as an emerging economic power must have its impact on the world. Secondly, Modi's Indian nationalist wave in recent elections pointed towards a clear direction of India's future.
Indians have clearly given the mandate to Bharatiya Janata Party to set the future of India under their Nationalist Approach.
Some critics, opponents and political rivals call their approach Hindu nationalist approach. Even so, the BJP clean sweep reveals the majority of Indians' aspirations to stand on their identity rather than being called politically secularists.
Secularist politics in India means politics of accommodating minorities, especially Muslims who are little less than 200 million there.
If that huge number integrates in the society rather than sticking to their ghettos they can change their fate. Also they wouldn't be need to be accommodated in India -- they would be owing India.
Hindu nationalists, in fact, love Muslims' flowery Urdu language and their Islamic traditions.
India's iconic Bollywood industry from its beginning till today rallies on Urdu songs, Muslim poets and actors.
Hindus are relatively tolerant to other cultures and religions. It's up to other cultures and religions to intermingle with their host traditions. Multiculturalism and interfaith are not a one-way phenomena. Every culture and religion has to get along with others.
So in this new phase of India, Muslims particularly need to get assimilated in the society for their development.
Some commentators also say that emerging nationalist approaches in modern India are also a reaction to non-assertive government responses to Pakistan's militant infiltration in Kashmir and Pakistan's alleged involvement in some of the terrorist activities in India including Mumbai Attack 2011.
Indians hope that newly-elected government would better respond to Pakistan which has unfortunately become a harbouring centre of terrorism.
Apart from Pakistan factor, Indians seem jubilant today in terms of contributing at world stage more vehemntly than before. There is no doubt that India's culture is parallel one to the West. It's a nation of colours, spices, dances, music, spirituality and magic.
Not just Indians, all South Asian countries and communities should take pride of India's new flight towards prosperous and colorful skies.
Congratulations India, Indians, South Asians, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Narendra Modi on entering a new phase at world stage.
