As a citizen of the Indian Union, I am happy to see the UPA government survive the trust vote yesterday. As for the way it survive could indicate lots of trouble for democracy in India, but I still am happy to see it survive for quite a few reasons:
1. One of the two demons standing against Indian economy for last 6 months dies with this trust vote. The fear of left intervention in the economic policy decisions (rather halting of decisions) was killing the economic growth. This trust vote fixes this. However, the bigger demon of inflation still lies, but I am hopeful that with more clearer policy and a same economics coalition at helm with be able to take care of the same, given that election year is about to come, so government will by no means would like this demon to survive till then.
2. We survive early election, which would have led to higher inflation, and poorer economy.
3. Manmohan Singh finally was able to prove that he is not weak (err... weakest) Prime Minister. Instead his defiance to the largest coalition partition gives us the proof of how strong the character of the man is.
4. The strongest of the reason is that it has made every polical party weaker. This will mean that people will benefit. Congress is in survival mode for last couple of years, it will continue to do so till the elections.
