India @ 75: A Changing Electoral Democracy presents a comprehensive study of India's democratic journey, culminating in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and beyond. The book examines the transformation of India's electoral democracy, from Nehru's Modern India to Modi's New India, while analyzing the changing nature of vote, voter, and voting. It contextualizes the rise and consolidation of BJP's dominance, the challenges posed by opposition coalitions, and the role of socio-economic upheavals such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Deeply personal in its origin yet academically rigorous, the work is a tribute to the author's mentor, Prof. Yogesh Atal.

The subject matter includes:

India's 75 years of independence with its democratic evolution.
2019 Lok Sabha Elections, Provides in-depth analysis of one of the most pivotal elections in India's recent history
India's past democratic upsurges with present transformations from Nehru's Modern India to Modi's New India.
Elections as both the faces of democracy and as part of a broader grammar of Indian polity.
Ongoing debates on the consolidation of the BJP system, opposition challenges, and democratic practices.

This book is aimed for students, researchers, policymakers, journalists, and all those interested in understanding the contours of India's democratic transformation.

This title has been co-published with Aakar Books. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print edition in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
