Hey Rajani-
Is this usual? Does the gathering at the Chancery Pavilion because of the close ties that many young people have to the U.S. (many having studied here, or having Facebook friends here) or do you attribute the interest to particular interest in this election?
Have there been any other political elections or issues in the U.S. that resulted in public gatherings in Bangalore?
You've got me curious.

Paula, I would say both.
Most of us have our friends / relatives residing in the United States. This makes United States close to our heart and find us rejoice or grieve; just the way a local resident would react to any political issue of the country.
The whole world, including India, was looking forward to the US presidential elections this time, in the hope that it would make history.
