As Bihar starts polling today, its fifty-fifty by all reckoning
Fifty-fifty (50-50) appears to be the latest addition to the political lexicon of Bihar. Yet another example of the "open door" posture of Biharis towards words from English and their genius in using them,
Even invocations of the fabled political instinct may fail in most cases to draw people out of the caution mode.
There are exceptions, of course -- communities which are staunchly aligned with one side or the other, political partisans and the bravehearts who have rushed to predict a landslide for one of the combatants even before the first vote is cast.
