Abstract

The article reports that India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has won a convincing victory in elections held in the riot-hit state of Gujarat in December 2002. The elections have challenged India's constitutionally enshrined secularism and have left Hindu hardliners in a powerful position.December's elections came some nine months after India's worst Hindu-Muslim bloodletting in a decade.
