Have you realized that the divide between 'Us' and 'Them' has grown
steadily in Indian politics? Do you sometimes wonder whether it will
be repaired at all in the near future? Do you ever pause to reflect
why emotions spill on the streets and why democratic institutions in
India have become dysfunctional? Have you thought about why we get
hurt easily and how this gets reflected in everyday politics? India
after Modi attempts to address these questions through an analysis of
events like Award Wapsi, demonetization, the crisis in JNU and higher
education, and electoral outcomes, including in the states of Bihar,
Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Through this collection of essays, Ajay
Gudavarthy focuses exclusively on Indian democracy after Narendra Modi
took over as the prime minister in 2014. He looks at the politics that
India has been witnessing since then and addresses emerging issues in
Indian democracy, including that of women's participation, new urban
spaces, and the role of youth.
