Description
Oxford UP The Algebra Of Warfare-Welfare by Ahmad Irfan & Kanungo Pralay
This volume explores how the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) won the 2014 Parliamentary elections with such an unprecedented majority, and what that victory means for politics in general and Indian politics in particular. It opens up space for new theoretical and methodological reflections on electoral democracy, critically taking on such salient issues as development, terrorism, charisma, media, new mechanisms of mobilization, nationalism, rumour, religion, regionalism,
polarisation, space, Muslim vote, and caste.
