TINY TWIST IN the tail can sometimes tell us more than a spin of the head. While the headlines of the Bengal election go to Mamata Banerjee, there is much to learn from the fate of a party which won only one seat out of the 292 in the new Assembly.
It was an instant project which adopted a grand name for the ballot: Rashtriya Secular Majlis Party. It also called itself the Indian Secular Front. Its objective was slightly less inclusive: it positioned itself as the electoral vehicle of the Bengali Muslim vote.
