The 2019 election is anything but a festival of democracy.Travelling across India, observing and listening, revisiting my rural research site, talking to academic colleagues and students on campuses, consuming media accounts, I cannot but help come to this demoralising conclusion

TMC and BJP being the top two contenders in a West Bengal election - is a scenario unthinkable just a few years ago. How did this happen? Are traditional LF voters really now voting BJP?! I offer one set of explanations in my piece in @IndianExpress today.

A new poriborton: Two villages provide a pointer to the emerging Hindutva politics in West Bengal

Something has changed in Madanpur and Chishti, as across West Bengal. Simply put, more people seem to be supporting the BJP, a party that has been peripheral to their political vision until now....

Wonderful image! 5 future prime ministers AND the peerless Bacha Khan (Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan) - who created and lead an Islamic non-violent anti-colonial Pashtun resistance Khudai Khidmatgars ('Red Shirts') fromm 1930-1947 - towers above them all @ZiauddinY @Malala @ReallySwara

To march alongside thousands of others is surely one of the best democratic experiences there is to be had. The wit - the best of British humour - on poster slogans, the range of age groups and general civility despite the crowds was outstanding. Time for change!

Paper ballots used to be mixed in large drums before counting. When EVMs were introduced the totaliser - an ‘electronic mixing machine’ was developed, but its adoption was blocked. ‘Booth Management’ was the official reason cited. Menaka Gandhi has explained what that is!
