Ballots And Blind Spots: Notes from the World’s Largest, Loudest and Most Complicated Democracy

Description

What can elections reveal about a country beyond who wins and who loses? Through years of fieldwork across India, Ballots and Blind Spots brings together conversations with voters, party workers, journalists, and ordinary citizens to understand politics from the ground up. Blending memoir with political observation, the book moves beyond elections to explore the institutions and ideas that shape democracy long after the ballots are counted. It is a journey through the people, places, and systems that make India what it is.
