#3 For India's sake I hope this isn't one of those "anti-corruption" parties that only complains that they're not the ones in charge of the corruption.

#4 ...or utterly inept. The record seems to indicate people will put up with corruption as long as 'the trains run on time' (schools are apparently exempted from these categories of third rail events).

Only time will tell. The Aam Aadmi Party is just barely a year old.

Yes, Sheila's surname is unusual, to Americans. Indians don't make the connection. I've rarely heard English speaking Indians use the word the shit, except my wife. And for that I take full responsibility.

I'm a bad influence.

Dikshit or Dikshitar (Hindi: दीक्षित) is a Hindu family name. The word is an adjective form of the Sanskrit word diksha, meaning provider of knowledge.
