Business Standard
|August 14, 2025
The first edition of this book came out several years ago.
The author, who served as India's 17th Election Commissioner (2010-2012), has revisited some of the central problems, revised and updated the volume and has added to it, bringing it up to date to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The pages are replete with anecdotes, case studies and analyses. The book is divided into 16 chapters like Engaging Youth: Converting Subjects into Citizens, Secure Elections, Safer Democracy, Voter Education towards Peoples' Participation and Money Power in Elections. The powers of the Election Commission and commissioners are also discussed, making it all the more relevant as it comes in the midst of several current controversies around Indian elections: Duplication of voters; the Special Intensive Revision; the role of the Supreme Court in the conduct of polls; and the powers of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
