The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections in India

by Bidyut Chakrabarty (Author)
Monographs 214 Pages

Summary

<Main blurb text, to appear in regular font> The book is an in-depth study of the eighteenth Lok Sabha elections held in India. Besides dwelling on the factors that acted critically in exercising voting rights by the voters, the text also highlights how the voters established their hegemony while casting votes in accordance with their priorities.
<Endorsement, to appear as quote> This book stands out not merely because it introduces new parameters of conceptualizing Indian politics, but also because it questions the widely accepted models of analysis. By innovatively deciphering the nature of voting behaviour, the book provides newer conceptual tools which will help future researchers to reconceptualise democracy in a different but theoretically persuasive model of analysis.
Professor Dennis Dalton, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University
<Endorsement, to appear as quote> Meticulously organised and incisively analysed, this study offers a pan-Indian level of an in-depth analysis of the 2024 Indian Lok Sabha polls. The book convincingly argued that to make a sense of disparate socio-cultural, politico-ideological, and diverse lingual-geographical fault-lines of the Indian society, one needs not to lost in fabricating a pan-Indian model of its electoral algorithm.Conceptualisingafresh, it weaves an episteme to map Indian electoral democratic space through a prism of constant influx.
- Professor (Dr.) Ronki Ram, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Chair Professor of Political Science, Panjab University, Chandigarh
