The shocked elite
The pollsters never predicted that the BSP would get more seats than the party actually got. As the representatives of the India's elite, why did all the news channels blunder?
To reiterate my point, that while campaigning for a hung house scenario, the news channels proprietors, channels heads, experts and input providers were not premeditated in their actions, and hence, didn't practices any caste prejudices against the BSP. The problem is much deeper.
If we recall the video clippings of May 11 pre-noon, and dissect the body language of the commentators and anchors, we get a preview of the limitlessness world of India's elite. The video of May 11 should be seen in relation to the clippings shown on May 8 evening, the last phase of the polls and the concluding sessions of exit poll results, there is a marked difference.

With a hung house prediction, the commentators and anchors were seen joyous with a pronounced symmetry in their eye-lips-voice levels. </span><i>
We have an elite which is feeding off the hung govts at state and center</i>
On May 8 they were sensing a President's Rule in UP. On May 11, they looked crest-fallen. The voice level was considerable low and looked as if asking to be rescued. This sums up the predicament of India's elite.
The elite by post-lunch session on May 11, was more shocked than stunned. The elite thus, in its inner-structural-extrasensory management system found BSP's victory as an alien encounter. That exceptional incursion in elite's CNS (Central Nervous System) had its instant reflexes on their eye-lips-voice levels symmetry. The question is - why did this happen?
The Indian anthropology is in its embryonic leg, and hence, unable to detect elites' cultural traits impacting their social conscience. In the inner-structural-extrasensory management system of the elite, Dalits are incarnated as overpowered, inconsequential, and reliant.
The fact that Mayawati became Chief Minister of UP thrice earlier with the BJP's support, further re-fed the inner-structural-extrasensory management system that the BSP can't get a clear mandate to rule and lead India's largest State.
Since EVMs were used the results came quickly to give any extra reaction time to the elite's inner-structural-extrasensory management system where it couldn't renegotiate with an exceptional situation - that the Dalit could turn the very grammar of existing social history.
The elite was thus 'shocked' when the results came in. The elite's aspiration of President's Rule in UP went out, and their inner-structural-extrasensory management system wasn't prepared to embrace Mayawati as the ruler of UP. The elite in fact, hadn't anticipated that the Indian democracy could be so callous to their inner-structural-extrasensory management system.
Thankfully, UP's historic verdict re-engineered Dalits' stereotype demonstrating that the Dalit can be a winner in the newly emerging phenomenon of a new social consensuses. Rooted and rotting in its history - the world's biggest idea-slaughter house, the elite's inner-structural-extrasensory management system couldn't detect arrival of the new Dalit. Pre-judged by history's opinionated unconsciousness, the elite was thus not conscious of what it was doing while mapping UP's political mood.
We will be thus committing a thoughtful miscalculation in describing the seven news channels as casteist, anti-Dalit.
The fact that the news channels and expert commentators were 'shocked', and not 'stunned' sums up the whole story - as the child of privileges-transfers non-transformative social processes, the elite is a victim of his own past social order. The history's enduring social-feedback keeps elite's inner-structural-extrasensory management system immune to new social circumstances, new social re-negotiations, and new social consensuses. Astonishingly pathological, elite's predicament is well understood.
To become relevant in emerging India's new social aspirations, the elite ought to live a phase of culturelessness where it first must de-culture to begin with.
