	South African Embassy in Sweden, Letters from the President
		Surprisingly, the Coloured and Indian working people in the areas of their largest concentration, the Cape Peninsula and Durban respectively, voted in favour of the forces of reaction, at the time represented and led by the National Party.
		The 1994 General Elections also demonstrated that a significant proportion of the African masses in KwaZulu-Natal, and some around the Johannesburg area, supported the IFP, which had been utilised by the apartheid system to oppose the mass struggle and the mass formations led by the ANC.
		Another was to win back the allegiance to the NDR and the ANC of the Coloured and Indian workers who had for many decades identified with, and participated in the struggle for the defeat of the system of white minority domination.

	Asia Times Online - The best news coverage from South Asia
		KOLKATA - The most distinguishing feature of India's 2004 general elections that sets it apart from all other previous elections is perhaps the fact that all of the major political parties have accepted that the days of fighting as a singular party are gone.
		For instance, the coalition governments in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar that were formed in the past had few objectives and little unity or leadership; most of the partners were too busy back-biting each other, which eventually led to their downfall.
		As a contrast, although India as a country was already extremely IT-savvy in the previous election of 1999, the use of technology by political parties was limited to just three TV channels that were used to unleash their propaganda.

	India: 2004 Elections and After
		The results of the general elections for the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament, held in four phases during April-May 2004, surprised many political pundits, especially those whose views on what the masses think are conditioned by the views expressed in the mainstream media.

		In fact, there is a school of thought within the party which would prefer to hold elections in November itself, along with the state Assembly polls.
		The prognosis for Delhi is not so positive, but strategists feel that victory in three Congress-ruled states should generate enough bounce for the BJP to face Lok Sabha elections by February - rated as the most suitable weather-wise as well.
		Apprehension that chief election commissioner JM Lyngdoh may balk at the recommendation for polls in November, on the ground that holding the Lok Sabha election along with four states polls will stretch his resources thin, is another deterrent for those planning to seek a fresh mandate for Prime Minister AB Vajpayee by the year-end.
