The youth is a sizeable proportion of voters in the largest democracy in the world and has, until 2009, barely received appropriate attention from politicians and researchers alike. Indian Youth and Electoral Politics not only introduces original research to this new field of study but also prepares the ground for further scientific and political engagement within the relationship between the Indian youth and electoral politics. It emphasizes challenges in research and thoroughly engages in a plethora of issues like the youth’ awareness of political issues, their voting patterns and the relationship between young voters and young political candidates. The answers and insight this research offers are compelling and at times contrary to common beliefs. (Sanjay Kumar, Sage, 2014, 185 pp., 450 INR)
