Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on Indian politics, focusing on themes such as electoral processes, political parties, ethnic and religious group representation, and the impact of state interventions on marginalized communities. Articles examine the role of institutions like the Election Commission of India, the political thought of figures like Rammanohar Lohia and B.R. Ambedkar, and the dynamics of ethnic and religious politics in specific regions like Assam and Manipur. The journal also addresses issues of minority representation, particularly for Muslim women, and the complexities of displacement and non-migration within conflict zones.
