Indian Youth and Electoral Politics: An Emerging Engagement studies the significant relationship between Indian youth and electoral politics in India. The book answers many pertinent questions: Does a young candidate matter to the young voters? Do Indian youth participate more enthusiastically in the election process if there are young candidates contesting? Using first-hand empirical data collected from a survey conducted by the editor of the volume, the book analyses the level of awareness of the Indian youth about political issues and looks at youth’s interest and participation in electoral politics. It also points out the willingness of a large percentage of Indian youth to take up politics as their career choice. The book highlights the differences in the level of youth’s interest and electoral participation along gender, locality, education and various such social variables.
