What does, or does not, make India's democracy tick? Is this the end of anti-incumbency? Are opinion polls and exit polls reliable? How pervasive is the 'fear factor'? Does the Indian woman's vote matter? Does the selection of candidates impact results? Are elections becoming more democratic or less so? Can electronic voting machines (EVMs) be fiddled with? Can Indian elections be called 'a jugaad system'? Published on the eve of India's next general elections, The Verdict uses rigorous psephology, original research and as-yet-undisclosed facts to talk about the entire span of India's electoral history from the first elections in 1952. Crucially, for 2019, it provides pointers to look out for, to see if the incumbent government will win or lose. Written by Prannoy Roy, renowned for his knack of demystifying electoral politics, and Dorab R. Sadriwala, this book is compulsory reading for anyone interested in politics and elections in India.  2Political ProcessaElectoral Systems9155823  aSopariwala; Dorab R9155824  2ddccBK  c230593d230593  00102ddc40708MAJMCaSACPGbSACPGd2024-03-12eBiblios Book Pointg479.20l0o324.60954 ROYVpPG024699r2024-03-20 00:00:00v599.00w2024-03-20yBK
