1/ Out now: the latest essay in our @CarnegieEndow #IndiaElects2024 series: Anirvan Chowdhury (@chyawanprash) examines the BJP's unique strategy of incorporating women into political spaces through the moral concept of "seva" carnegieendowment.org/2024/04/26/how…
2/ Historically, women’s turnout in India has lagged men's. This came to an end in the 2019 general elections. Furthermore, the assumption that women simply vote in tandem with men in their household has also been challenged carnegieendowment.org/2024/04/26/how…

1/ There's been a recent uptick in interest on Indian democracy on this website. Here's a new, draft paper that attempts to examine one aspect of this debate--the apparent weakening of "referee" institutions vaishnavmilan.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/vaishn…

2/ This report—by @CEDuckworth21, Devesh Kapur, and me—draws on a new, nationally representative survey of nearly 800 British Indian eligible voters conducted w/ @YouGov in August 2021. The survey has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent.
3/ This report provides an empirically robust and analytically nuanced picture of the attitudes of this increasingly important demographic. Some of our top-line findings follow:
