Fairy tales always end with the words "and they lived happily ever after," which is why in our cynical age even toddlers have stopped taking them seriously.
Millions of adult Indians, however, enthusiastically propagate a grownup version of happily ever after.
In this fantasy, billions of dollars of "black money" have been siphoned out of India over decades by corrupt politicians and businessmen; it lies securely in the discreet vaults of Swiss banks. Once a "strong government" (perhaps the one just elected?) cracks the whip and brings this money home, India will cease being poor and take its rightful place among the world's superpowers.
