Should NRIs get the right to vote in India?

In this conversation, Professor Lavanya Vemsani, noted historian at Shawnee State University (Ohio), and board member, and former president, of the Ohio Academy of History, tells Hindol Sengupta,

- why NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) should get a right to vote in Indian elections,
- how to frame rules so that wrong-doers are kept away from participation,
- why the NRI community is keen to participate in the democratic future of their home country,
- lessons from America and Philippines on how to allow democratic rights for diaspora,
- and why the Indian diaspora is more political than ever.
