Welcome to ‘Elections 101’
Studying elections in the largest democracy in the world is bound to be a challenge: given the size of the country and of its population. What, then, have been the methodologies and approaches deployed to study this major political event? What have been the disciplines and foci of Indian elections? Come join me as I try to identify some major shifts over time, and to grasp the meaning and implications of representative governance and why are elections important in a democracy. Join me in room 94 on 10th, 17th and 24th April, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. to navigate India’s 2024 elections.
