A CASI Panel Discussion

Election time is upon us again in India. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a sweeping victory in the last national elections, but in the last year, the race has become competitive. What are the key issues for voters in these elections? How much will caste and religion matter? Who has the edge? Our panel of experts attempts to cut through the fog and make sense of the upcoming Indian elections.
