Based on a personal journey through states in south, west, and north India, starting from Bengaluru and ending with Banaras, this chapter examines popular and elite conceptions of electoral politics during the 2014 Indian general election campaign. It argues that the National Democratic Alliance’s success was not monocausal, but arose from effective targeting of ‘winnable’ seats, high turnout by new voters, the professionalism of the BJP’s national campaign, and limits in the success of appeals to caste identity in favour of voter preference based on economic self-interest and aspiration. Using interviews with individuals, ‘On The Ground’ looks at the ways local, regional, or state factors can affect voting decisions.
基于我个人在印度南部、西部和北部各邦的旅行,从班加罗尔开始,到巴纳拉斯结束,本章考察了2014年印度大选期间选举政治的流行和精英概念。它认为,全国民主联盟的成功不是单一原因的,而是源于对“可赢”席位的有效定位,新选民的高投票率,人民党全国竞选的专业性,以及基于经济自身利益和愿望的选民偏好对种姓身份的诉求的成功限制。通过对个人的采访,《实地》着眼于地方、地区或州的因素如何影响投票决定。

On Studying Elections and Democracy 论研究选举与民主
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0013
R. Thirunavukkarasu
This conversation between R. Thirunavukkarasu and T.K. Oommen underscores the sociological significance of analysing electoral democracy. Electoral studies pre-supposes democracy which is a recent phenomenon; as recent as 2000, only 58 per cent of the world’s population had electoral democracies. These factors explain the rickety level of election studies in sociology. In West European countries, wherein democracy flourishes the co-terminality between political and cultural boundaries is either a fact or an ideal. However, in India cultural pluralism is both a fact and a valued goal. The three-tier Indian polity—local, provincial (linguistic states), and national—witnesses different behaviours. Along with factors such as class, gender, age, and rural–urban differences which are common to democracies, the specificity of caste is important in India. In addition to the horizontal factors, caste divides voters vertically and the intersectionality among these factors increases the complexity of democracy and electoral behaviour. The conversation also discusses the forthcoming 2019 general election.
Thirunavukkarasu和T.K. Oommen之间的对话强调了分析选举民主的社会学意义。选举研究以民主为前提,这是最近才出现的现象;就在2000年,全球只有58%的人口实行选举民主制。这些因素解释了社会学中选举研究水平不稳的原因。在民主蓬勃发展的西欧国家,政治和文化边界的共一性要么是事实,要么是理想。然而,在印度,文化多元化既是一个事实,也是一个有价值的目标。印度的三层政体——地方、省(语言邦)和国家——见证了不同的行为。除了阶级、性别、年龄、城乡差异等民主国家普遍存在的因素外,种姓的特殊性在印度也很重要。除了水平因素外,种姓还在纵向上划分选民,这些因素之间的相互交织增加了民主和选举行为的复杂性。对话还讨论了即将到来的2019年大选。

Hindutva’s Reach Out to Muslims in the 2014 Elections 印度教在2014年选举中向穆斯林伸出援手
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0009
Mohammad Reyaz
At the peak of the 2014 election campaign, Delhi was dotted with posters like ‘Na Doori Na Khaai, Modi Hamara Bhai’ (neither difference nor gap, Modi is our brother). These posters announcing Narendra Modi as ‘our brother’, were put up by Maulana Suhaib Qasmi of Jamaat Ulema-e-Hind, aligned to the BJP. Several such groups of BJP’s Muslims worked to mobilize Muslim votes for the right-wing Hindutva party. Drawing upon field reporting, covering the 2014 elections, and interviews with some of the political leaders and stake-holders of these organizations (and their literature), this chapter examines three key issues: contradiction between BJP’s outreach programmes towards Muslims and their condemnation of similar initiatives by other political parties as ‘Muslim appeasement’; perception of Muslim identity among leaders engaging in such initiatives; and whether such outreach programs had any impact in drawing Muslim voters towards the BJP?
在2014年竞选活动的高峰期,德里到处都是“Na Doori Na Khaai, Modi Hamara Bhai”(既没有区别也没有差距,莫迪是我们的兄弟)的海报。这些海报宣称纳伦德拉·莫迪是“我们的兄弟”,是由印度人民党的Jamaat Ulema-e-Hind的毛拉苏哈布·卡斯米张贴的。印度人民党的几个这样的穆斯林团体努力动员穆斯林投票给右翼的印度教党。根据2014年选举的实地报道,以及对这些组织的一些政治领导人和利益相关者(以及他们的文献)的采访,本章探讨了三个关键问题:人民党对穆斯林的外展计划与他们谴责其他政党的类似举措之间的矛盾,称其为“穆斯林绥靖”;参与这些倡议的领导人对穆斯林身份的看法;这些外联计划是否对吸引穆斯林选民支持人民党有任何影响?

Caste and Cultural Icons 种姓和文化符号
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0008
R. Thirunavukkarasu
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may be an insignificant entity in the electoral arena of Tamil Nadu as the party won only one seat in the 2014 parliamentary elections. However, its efforts to expand its support base in the state where ideologically hostile political dispensations have near hegemonic presence demand a thorough scrutiny. BJP’s endeavours to expand by vernacularizing itself are arguably met with resistance, yet the party’s desperation to project itself as a Tamilized Hindutva party must be dissected. While tracing the genealogy of the BJP’s electoral performance and its modus operandi to expand its support base, this chapter elaborates a two-way process of ‘vernacularization’ and ‘pan-Indianization’.
印度人民党(BJP)在泰米尔纳德邦的选举舞台上可能是一个微不足道的实体,因为该党在2014年的议会选举中只赢得了一个席位。然而,在这个意识形态上敌对的政治派系几乎占据霸权地位的国家,它扩大支持基础的努力需要进行彻底的审查。人民党通过本土化来扩张的努力可能会遇到阻力,但该党不顾一切地将自己塑造成一个泰米尔化的印度教政党,这一点必须加以剖析。在追溯人民党选举表现的谱系及其扩大支持基础的运作方式的同时,本章详细阐述了“白话化”和“泛印度化”的双向过程。

The Gujarat Model and the Right-Wing Shift in 2014 古吉拉特邦模式与2014年的右翼转向
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0005
Zoya Hasan
The 2014 general election heralded a major shift in Indian politics. For the first time since Independence, India elected a right-wing party to power at the Centre and in several states. The Gujarat chief minister, Narendra Modi, won the election on the basis of the much-publicized Gujarat model and his track record of development represented by it. The chapter examines the genesis of this model and its role in shaping the emergence and consolidation of a BJP dominated political system, which has resulted in the exclusion and marginalization of minorities. It highlights the limitations and inconsistencies of this model and contrasts it with the development policies of the UPA government. It also examines the elitist and communal dimensions of the Gujarat model which has been a source of considerable disillusionment with it.
2014年的大选预示着印度政治的重大转变。自独立以来,印度首次选出右翼政党执掌中央和几个邦的权力。古吉拉特邦首席部长纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)赢得选举的基础是广为宣传的古吉拉特邦模式及其所代表的发展记录。本章考察了这一模式的起源及其在塑造人民党主导的政治体系的出现和巩固中的作用,这导致了少数民族的排斥和边缘化。它突出了这种模式的局限性和不一致性,并将其与UPA政府的发展政策进行了对比。它还考察了古吉拉特邦模式的精英主义和公共层面,这是对它的幻灭的一个相当大的来源。

Unity in Diversity 多样性中的统一
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780199489626.003.0012
I. Ahmad
This chapter analyses the manifestos of three political parties: AAP, BJP, and the Congress. Paying attention to their texts and visual symbolism, it argues that there were more similarities than differences among them. The discussion on similarity is organized under three headings: (a) Economy, Development, Religion; (b) Social Groups; and (c) International Relations and Security. The next section delineates minor differences unable to reflect dissensus, the core of the political for Rancière. It concludes with observations on the prevalent views that elections offer freedom of choice to show their limits, structural and theoretical. Following Rancière, it is argued that elections and their manifestos institute policies that inscribe the world differently as opposed to politics, which beckons to a possible different world.
本章分析了三个政党的宣言:平民党、人民党和国大党。通过对他们的文本和视觉象征的分析,认为他们之间的相似之处多于不同之处。关于相似性的讨论分为三个标题:(a)经济、发展、宗教;(b)社会团体;(c)国际关系和安全。下一节描述了无法反映异议的微小差异,这是法国政治的核心。最后,本报告对选举提供选择自由的普遍观点提出了看法,以显示其结构上和理论上的局限性。继ranci之后,有人认为,选举及其宣言所制定的政策与政治不同,它们以不同的方式描绘了世界,而政治则召唤着一个可能不同的世界。

Modi and the Spectre of Terrorism 莫迪和恐怖主义幽灵
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0003
M. Sethi
Terrorism constituted an important element of the wider ensemble of ideas and images that Narendra Modi’s election campaign disseminated. It reiterated the Bharatiya Janata Party’s idea of India as, essentially, a Hindu nation; Hindus as authentic citizens and Muslims as the ‘other’. Based on a survey of Modi’s election speeches, BJP’s publicity material and the extensive commentary and analysis focused on the person of Narendra Modi, this paper argues that terrorism as an election issue was carefully calibrated by Modi’s managers: a spectre of imminent threats was raised, dangerous ‘other’ identified, the outgoing government was lambasted for failing to quarantine the danger, and an alternative Modi model of battling terrorism held up. This had the effect of crafting the tough, muscular, macho Hindutva icon who would rein in ‘Islamic terrorism’, and consolidating and rallying a majoritarian vote bank behind this leader.
在纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)的竞选活动所传播的更广泛的思想和形象中,恐怖主义是一个重要元素。它重申了印度人民党(Bharatiya Janata Party)的理念,即印度本质上是一个印度教国家;印度教徒是真正的公民,而穆斯林是“他者”。基于对莫迪竞选演讲的调查、印度人民党的宣传材料以及对纳伦德拉·莫迪本人的广泛评论和分析,本文认为,恐怖主义作为一个选举问题,是由莫迪的管理者精心校准的:迫在眉睫的威胁的幽灵被提出,危险的“他者”被确定,即将卸任的政府因未能隔离危险而受到谴责,另一种莫迪的反恐模式被提出。这产生了塑造一个强硬、肌肉发达、男子气概的印度教偶像的效果,他将控制“伊斯兰恐怖主义”,并巩固和团结了这位领导人背后的多数主义投票银行。

Gurus and the Hindu Nationalist Politics 古鲁和印度民族主义政治
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0004
P. Kanungo
Though Gurudom is diverse, Gurus and Hindu Nationalism have a shared world, promoting and patronizing each other. With the onset of the New Age mediatized Hinduism and the rising popularity of these Gurus, the bonding between Hinduism and Hindutva has got strengthened further. Reflecting on Yoga guru and entrepreneur Ramdev’s life-journey, world-view, political activism, particularly with reference to his anti-corruption crusade, this chapter argues that though Ramdev’s Hindu revivalist and nationalist ideas are closer to the Sangh gospel in many ways, Ramdev has always nurtured his own political ambition and agenda. Analysing the complexities of Ramdev’s political ideas and actions, it tries to understand why Ramdev, setting aside his own agenda, decided to have a partnership with Modi and the BJP in the 2014 elections.
虽然古鲁多是多样化的,但古鲁和印度教民族主义有一个共同的世界,相互促进和光顾。随着新时代的开始,印度教被调解,这些大师越来越受欢迎,印度教和印度教至上主义之间的联系得到了进一步加强。回顾瑜伽大师和企业家拉姆德夫的人生历程、世界观、政治活动,特别是他的反腐运动,本章认为,尽管拉姆德夫的印度教复兴主义和民族主义思想在许多方面更接近僧派福音,但拉姆德夫一直在培养自己的政治抱负和议程。分析了拉姆德夫政治思想和行动的复杂性,试图理解为什么拉姆德夫抛开自己的议程,决定在2014年的选举中与莫迪和印度人民党建立伙伴关系。

Does Space Matter in Electoral Democracy? 空间在选举民主中重要吗?
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780199489626.003.0007
B. K. Choudhary
Banaras witnessed accelerated political climate in 2014 as the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate decided to represent this as his parliamentary constituency. Suddenly, the city marked with diversity of religions, cultures, and modes of living, was up for polarized electoral campaigns. This chapter analyses the key question which has rarely been fully explored: why did Narendra Modi decide to contest elections from Banaras, a constituency outside his home state of Gujarat? Instead of his mediatized and self-proclaimed image as an efficient administrator and symbol of development, why did he invoke a religious–mythical vocabulary to justify his choice? Weaving insights from the disciplines of cultural–social geography and elections studies together, this chapter discusses how a specific religious imagery of Banaras contrary to its pluralistic livings was mobilized in the 2014 parliamentary elections.
巴纳拉斯在2014年见证了加速的政治气候,因为印度人民党总理候选人决定代表这一地区作为他的议会选区。突然之间,这座以宗教、文化和生活方式的多样性为标志的城市,开始了两极分化的竞选活动。本章分析了一个很少被充分探讨的关键问题:纳伦德拉•莫迪(Narendra Modi)为何决定在家乡古吉拉特邦(Gujarat)以外的巴纳拉斯选区竞选?他没有把自己塑造成一个高效的管理者和发展的象征,为什么要用宗教神话的词汇来证明他的选择是正确的?本章结合文化社会地理学和选举研究学科的见解,讨论了2014年议会选举中如何动员巴纳拉斯与其多元生活相反的特定宗教形象。

Democracy as Rumour 民主是谣言
Pub Date : 2019-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780199489626.003.0002

Based on qualitative data from the coverage of the 2014 Indian elections by television channels and social media, this chapter demonstrates Schmittian politics by examining electoral–democratic rumours. It discusses how media circulated Hindutva as development to resemble rumourmongering, in that the sources of development remained unknown. The emerging interface among media, elections, and neoliberal economy in polities like India signifies what is proposed as ‘designer democracy’, of which rumour is a key component. The chapter discusses the effects of rumours and other factors that helped Hindutva win in 2014. The premise of rumour as a plebeian resistance, it is argued, is unsustainable. Contra established view, this chapter contends that rumour is also a weapon of the power elites and is deployed during elections. Dwelling on the vital issues of the truth and lie, the chapter concludes with observations on the place of rumour and media in democracies in general.
基于2014年印度电视频道和社交媒体对选举报道的定性数据,本章通过检查选举民主谣言来展示施密特政治。它讨论了媒体如何传播印度教作为发展类似于谣言散布,因为发展的来源仍然未知。在印度等国家,媒体、选举和新自由主义经济之间的新兴界面意味着所谓的“精心设计的民主”,其中谣言是一个关键组成部分。这一章讨论了谣言和其他因素的影响,这些因素帮助Hindutva在2014年获胜。有人认为,将谣言作为平民抵抗的前提是不可持续的。与既定观点相反,本章认为谣言也是权力精英的武器,并在选举期间被部署。这一章详述了真相与谎言这一重要问题,并以对谣言和媒体在民主国家的普遍地位的观察作为结语。
