Among the eminent persons are danseuses Aditi Mangaldas and Mallika Sarabhai, actor Nandita Das, Chitra Subramanium, eminent lawyer Kamini Jaiswal, activist Shabnam Hashmi and eminent Father Cedric Prakash.
Now, this is confusing. I thought the secular taliban were accusing the fascist Narendra Modi and the communal Hindutva forces of dictatorial proclivities and anti-democratic tendencies.

Here's some more
eminent persons making yet another demand.
Their eminences include former naval chiefs Admiral R H Tahiliani, Admiral Ramdas, social activists Medha Patkar and Aruna Roy, Booker Prize Winner Arundhati Roy, Magsaysay Award winners Arvind Kejriwal and Sandeep Pandey... Why does this sound like an old, familiar list?
Obviously these eminences believe that Modi will win. Else they wouldn't be eating their poor hearts out over the elections.
