It is an election that the Prime Minister has said not just India, but the world is watching. Why is that so important in an election in what is not even a state? Why has the Delhi election become one that may have national and international impact? Is this truly an election now where caste has become irrelevant? Is it a battle of class?

Joining me for more on this is Dr Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, National Vice President of the BJP, Professor Ashis Nandy, political sociologist, Mr Chandra Bhan Prasad, social commentator, AAP spokesperson Ashutosh and Amitabh Dubey, Director, India Research at investment research firm Trusted Sources .<\/p>\n
