Theres actually 2 other HUGE winners in these Indian elections:
1. The Election Commission of India that galvanized 60-80% of the voters to turn out (normally its 30-40%). 70% women voter turnout. 90% 18-29 voter age turnout
2. Youth voters < 29 yrs of age
India will see 500-600 mln voters turn out in May for the LokSabha elections. The US could learn 2 lessons from all this:
1. How a true democracy with 60% voter participation works
2. You can send a man to the moon but cant have a woman President. How do other countries integrate women politicians and why it works

Had Barack Obama (first black president) not won, there's a very real possibility that Hillary Clinton would have been elected president. Both of which represent political firsts and a changing system towards greater integration.
