An Undocumented Wonder : The Making of the Great Indian Election
by Shahabuddin Yaqoob Quraishi
Description
How does the world’s largest democracy conduct an election across vast distances, immense populations, and extraordinary cultural diversity? Drawing on his experience as India’s Chief Election Commissioner, the author offers an illuminating first-person account of the institution, ideals, and practical innovations behind the country’s remarkable electoral process. Combining recent electoral history with engaging inside perspectives, the book explores the logistical, geographic, and democratic challenges faced by the Election Commission of India—and the principles that enable it to meet them. It is an informed and accessible portrait of Indian democracy in action, written to satisfy curiosity rather than pursue scandal or sensationalism.
