The People of India

The people of India are about to vote in the 2024 elections. In this roundtable, we return to two key questions: who are the people of New India? And what do they want in this election?

Over the past three-quarters of a century, the idea of ‘new’ India has been invoked many times. These shifts have forged, and have been forged, by new political subjects and affinities that can neither be explained through quantitative data nor party politics alone. In this field of informal politics, the emotional and the transactional aspects cohere to create ever-shifting dynamics of power. What do the new and old figures of the politics tell us about New Indian Politics?

Join the online roundtable of scholars across anthropology, history, and political science.
