In all aspects of life, there exists an inevitable chasm between theoritical discourse and practical realities. In 'How to Win an Indian Election' Shivam Shankar Singh draws on his experience as a LAMP fellow, political consultant and political worker across multiple Indian elections in the states of Punjab, Nagaland and Manipur to bridge this gap.
.
The book stands tall on a solid foundation of technical expertise on things like data analytics, segmentation, guerilla marketing, digital marketing and use of mass media that is reshaping the electoral paradigm, insider knowledge and sound analysis. The author has drawn on his personal experience and publicly available information to create a compelling narrative on the changing scenario of Indian electoral politics.
.
Refreshingly, inspite of the inclusion of vignettes of personal experience, the narrative remains distant and objective in its observation, without aligning to a particular political party. Some of the revelations are quite disconcerting and will make you construct parallels with the Nazi brand of propaganda based politics championed by Hitler and Goebbels. The author also throws in a pertinent analysis of the systemic flaws of the socio-political and economic machineries that contribute to this vicious cycle.
.
Though the author tries to create a silver lining of hope in the last chapter, reading this book will make you wonder if the Indian political rhetoric has undergone an irreversible change for the worse irrespective of the outcome of the elections.
I highly recommend this book if you are interested in Indian politics and the political scenario of today

HOW TO WIN AN INDIAN ELECTION, a book by Shivam Shankar Singh (IPAC, LAMP Fellow) - A powerful dissection of Indian politics that explains how well oiled the system is and why year after year, despite frustrations of the common man, we get to see the same kind of politics and governance in the country - a powerful collusion of the political parties, businesses, media and now the institutions as well. Coming directly from an insider, it gives a sneak peek into what goes behind winning the elections and the world of politics most of us are largly unaware of. A must read if you have slightest interest in what's going on in the country, and why repeatedly we are in a sorry state.
