SASC Colloquium Series: The Indian First Election, 1951-52
The paper explores the ways women related to and appropriated the notion of popular authorization of the government in the run-up to, and during India’s first elections. It, thus, aims to shed light on the role of women in democratic state-building during the early days of the republic.
