Sushama Swaraj and Brinda Karat hugging each other, with sporting bindis on their foreheads, speaks a lot for the nature of the emerging 'Nareesakti' in India. By virtue of this new edition of Nareeshakti occupying 33% seats of power, not just the subalterns and the toiling masses will become less visible, but also their political aspirations in the conventional sense may also have to wait; we might find them waiting for crumbs,outside the corridors of newly allied powers . When the true colours of its camouflaged caste/class/communal bias will eventually show up, a failed nation perhaps will rise again with loud cries for real inclusion of its people: men, women and the transgendered, irrespective of caste, class and religion!
