Why Musahars Vote ?
Published By: Giri Institute of Development Studies, GIDS on eSS | Published Date: July , 2016The most popular imagery that the 16th Lok Sabha election campaign projected was of good governance
and development. What does this mean for communities that lie on the margins of
body politics? Are their terms of engagement with this national celebration similar
to others who enjoy electoral leverage? Here is an attempt to look at the margins through a chosen community
(Musahars) using its own lens to analyse what election is and how it links up with
the day today life of the community. The study involved informal conversation,
formal and partially structured interviews with the adult community members. [GIDS Working Paper 219].
