Abstract

The most popular imagery that the 16th Lok Sabha election campaign projected was of good governance and development. What does this mean for communities that lie on the margins of body politics? Are their terms of engagement with this national celebration similar to others who enjoy electoral leverage? Here is an attempt to look at the margins through a chosen community (Musahars) using its own lens to analyse what election is and how it links up with the day today life of the community. The study involved informal conversation, formal and partially structured interviews with the adult community members. [GIDS Working Paper 219].
