The general elections held in 2014 in India - the largest democracy
in the world - to elect the 16th Lok Sabha brought in dramatic
results. This important volume explains not only the startling
victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but also the equally
surprising downfall of the Congress Party. It examines not why BJP
won and the Congress lost, but why the scale of BJP's victory and
that of Congress's defeat was so very different from the results in
the years 2004 and 2009. The volume presents an in-depth analysis
of the electoral results, state-wise studies, the factors leading
up to these outcomes, and the road India has travelled since then.
With contributions from India's leading political scientists,
psephologists, sociologists and political commentators, this book
will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Indian
politics, democracy and political parties, as well as South Asian
studies.
