The article, “A train journey and two names to remember” (Open Page, June 1) was revealing. This should be read by everyone, especially those who discredit Prime Minister Modi at the drop of a hat. This includes the so-called secularists, progressive thinkers and armchair experts. Mr. Modi’s spectacular win proved that the common man is more intelligent than these experts. I hope better sense prevails on those who criticise Mr. Modi, and that they respect and accept, with humility, the country’s verdict.
