The modern assault on the franchise lives in the grey zones of administrative law, database management, and institutional pressure.

In my latest opinion piece, I analyze a puzzle in India’s evolving political culture: why does support for democracy coexist with a preference for authoritarian leadership? Hybrid political preferences may preserve democratic forms, yet they erode democratic norms. Link theprint.in/opinion/indi...

Indians want democracy but also a strong leader. What this paradox does

The research examines why support for democracy can coexist with a preference for leaders who promise greater efficiency, order and decisive action.

Main findings: · Incumbents don’t always shy away from attack ads. · Personalization effects vary significantly across states. · Issue-based ads are less likely to go negative, but context matters.
