Ambar Kumar Ghosh’s Case Study
Despite India’s vast youth population, young people remain significantly underrepresented in national and state legislatures due to structural barriers such as high campaign costs, centralised party control, dynastic politics, and social constraints, highlighting the need for targeted reforms to enhance youth participation in electoral politics.
Voices Behind the Research
WHAT IS YOUTH POLITICAL PARTICIPATION FOR AMBAR?
India’s increasing demographic dividend places the youth at a preponderant position to shape India’s governance and developmental priorities. Hence, youth participation in electoral politics is fundamental to its ability to shape the socio-economic discourses of India’s future.
PERSONALITY AMBAR ADMIRES
Mahatma Gandhi for his innate faith in non-violent and organised mass mobilization strategies for offering a compelling model of collective emancipatory politics.
