Like always, several myths are being propagated like – the irrelevance of economic issues or the supremacy of nationalism. But what is the truth?

Like all elections everywhere in the world, India’s general election this year too has created its own mythology. Some of it was – understandably – created during the election campaign while some have been generated after the results were out and the BJP-led alliance emerged as a clear winner. Some of the most popular myths, currently occupying the minds of analysts, are- economic issues don’t matter, nationalism trumps everything, casteism is dead, and so on.
