I went trolling on the internets for some sights of the Indian campaigns. Not much. The official BJP site has like 8 little photos and Congress none. Though, the Congress does have separate Hindi and Urdu sites. Nothing on Getty Images, but I did find some cool shots on flickr. Enjoy.

LOL, wonder how long that poster of Mamata will last before some CPI-M goons get their hands on it!

@ karuna,shahi tharoor is traditionally seen as someone who was with the israeli side against palestine and needless to say in kerala pro palestine sentiments are very strong.The poster tries to assuage those fears.
