About this book
Examining the relationship between elections and democracy, this book attempts to study the transformative nature of India's electoral democracy during 75-year of its working. Amidst celebrating 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', the book highlights the changing politics and the political cultures as manifested in transforming nature of parties and party systems from 1950s till contemporary times, thus covering the First Lok Sabha election to the Seventeenth Lok Sabha 2019 amidst continuities, conformities and changes in India's electoral landscape.
Marking a shift from Nehru's Modern India to Modi's New India, the book underlines the realigning vote, voter and voting at the backdrop of transcending issues and narratives along with changing modes of electioneering that have shaped the nature of government on the one hand and democratic governance on the other. Presenting India's electoral democracy from the perspective of new directions, dimensions and developments linking it to nation's key democratic upsurges with new conceptualizations, theorizations and generalizations, the book could be seen as a Grammer of Indian Polity.
