How Droupadi Murmu’s presidency will be in sync with ethos of New India

Firstpost  

It is an India that has broken away now from the old pseudo-secularist manner that was a formula for state-administered discrimination against the majority of its people. It is now inclusive, but with a strong emphasis on its Hindu mainstays Even as counting of votes of MPs from seven states was completed by late afternoon on the 21st of July 2022, it became evident that the NDA candidate for President of India, Droupadi Murmu, would register a comprehensive win. As presidential elections to India’s highest constitutional office go, this one appears to be exhibiting a special excitement and a strong Hindu nationalist fervour. The BJP, expecting an electoral dividend from installing the first Hindu tribal in Rashtrapati Bhavan, indicated that nation-wide celebrations in tribal areas, in multiple states, were going to follow this win. Droupadi Murmu is the 15th president, elected to office in India’s 75th year of Independence, and when the country is on the march towards great power status.
