330 .. $a "How India Became Democratic explores the greatest experiment in democratic human
history. It tells the untold story of the preparation of the electoral roll on the
basis of universal adult franchise in the world's largest democracy. Ornit Shani offers
a new view of the institutionalisation of democracy in India, and of the way democracy
captured the political imagination of its diverse peoples. Turning all adult Indians
into voters against the backdrop of the partition of India and Pakistan, and in anticipation
of the drawing up of a constitution, was a staggering task. Indians became voters
before they were citizens - by the time the constitution came into force in 1950,
the abstract notion of universal franchise and electoral democracy were already grounded.
Drawing on rich archival materials, Shani shows how the Indian people were a driving
force in the making of democratic citizenship as they struggled for their voting rights"
