This brief analyzes the results of the 2009 Indian elections. According to the author, these results mark a turning point for the country's largest and oldest political party, the Congress Party. He argues that the phenomenal performance of the 'centrist' Congress Party will strengthen traditional forces of political moderation. India can be expected to be a predictable player in global affairs, focussing on its own economic development and seeking stability and development in its wider Asian neighborhood.
