A turnaround in the course of Indian history is how the 11 March 2017 UP assembly elections are being described. It is believed, the election of a majority BJP government and of a Hindu mathadhikari as the Chief Minister of Indias most populous State is an expression of resurgence of Hinduism, not just a religious awakening. In 21st century India, this is the third such symbolic public demonstration of saffron ascendancy, says author PrafullGoradia, who was an eye-witness to the first such assertion in recent times, the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992. Until the advent of Narendra Modi, no leader was able to inspire the Hindu confidence for the expression of their true sentiments, he asserts.
