Lots have been talked about the ‘Gujarat Model’ – the state of Gujarat has been projected as the ‘model state’ of India. It is not being called a model state because of the spectacular natural beauty of Gujarat and its beautiful people but, it is being called a model for development. The model is essentially the model of development by big capital led industrialisation.

With the completion of the recent Lok Sabha polls the world's largest democracy has given yet another mandate. During the entire process of election it has been celebrated in mass media and public life through different activities ranging from round the clock news coverage to drawing room discussion to roadside adda. Much of this celebration had little to do with the final outcome or say the composition of the future parliament per se but was a celebration of the process itself.
