We are delighted to know the results of the general elections in India. And we hail the Congress's victory not for defeating the BJP, but for the fall of politics based on religion. We hope this win will shift Indian politics from communal violence and religious polarisation of the masses to a neutral, democratic and tolerant culture. It should also be a lesson for the fanatic political parties in other South Asian countries.

However, we expect that the new Indian government will solve the tricky issues with Bangladesh like sharing of water and border tension through peaceful negotiations.
