Does polarization help win elections? How have smartphones changed Indian politics? Did the Balakot strike make the difference in 2019? Why are women a distinct voting bloc in some states but not in others? Why does GDP growth have almost no impact on election outcomes? Since 2014, Pradeep Gupta and Axis My India have established themselves as India’s most accurate and trusted election forecasters. Between 2013 and 2020, the Axis My India forecast was the most accurate in 92 per cent of state and general elections. Now Gupta takes us on a journey through the art and science of elections in the world’s largest democracy. Based on years of field interviews and analysis, he gives us a masterclass – provocative, entertaining and enlightening – in how and why Indians choose their leaders.
