520 ## - Abstract
Abstract Non-fiction. A personalised approach to political theory based on the author's academic background as a Phd in public finance, professional experience in the Indian Administrative Service running and regulating democratic institutions, field knowledge as an activist and volunteer for voter education and registration programs and political experience as supporter and candidate of a national political party- the Aam Aadmi Party. Focuses on the anomalies and distortions that arise when the theory of democracy clashes with campaigning and election practices. With chapters on whether Indian women have gained from getting the vote, the interface between the bureaucracy and politicians and the effects of caste on electoral outcomes.
