Democracy's Grand Festival: A Journey Through India's Electoral History With Rajdeep Sardesai

This riveting journey through India's electoral history brings to light the evolution of the world's largest festival of democracy. From the first Lok Sabha election in 1952 to the current times, the narrative captures the rise and fall of political parties, the transformation of electoral processes, and the resilience and enthusiasm of the Indian voter. The narrative also addresses the role of media, from government-sponsored Doordarshan to the current era of private news channels and social media, in shaping election campaigns.

[sugannatarajan]

Excellent docu.. unbiased & content rich. Thank you for sharing PVNarasimha Rao ji voice. did u realise that no other congress leader died during Sriperumbudur blast in 1991. Congress folks must have had hints & stayed away.

Great show 💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Keep going India Today

[vinodkbg]

I'm a bhakt. But Rajdeep is one of my favourite journalists. He has contributed to modern India's story as much as other reformists.

[Vineetvc]

Super show.. salute to Indian elections

[mohitpagaria]

Billionaire and poor have same power of voting and "you could be scientist or a doctor or an engineer and uneducated also have same power" hard to understand but its true.

[jeetu]

Strange that leaders like vp singh, chandrashekhar, devilal & others have never been popular figures in India politics as rajeev gandhi, atal or advani ji (or may be atleast for me)
Many might even be unknown that they were the ex PM's or strong contenders for the post!

[sandeshsharma]

Please add 1996 election devegowda and gujaral terms

[hereismycomment-lr]

Must admit the resilience of Rajdeep, despite being slapped by the fundamentalists in the US, he continues to hold his ground and continues show the decency and decorum of an high IQ educated Indian.

[kumud]

Rajdeep just a suggestion please soften and modulate your voice, was v monotonous .
However appreciate the content

[tempba-jqlh]

The entry of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi the important era of Indian politics but that’s only one thing . Second important aspect of that time is - Rajdeep was born . The faithful pseudo, and ChatGPT of Congress

[sreeramtirumala]

It seems sure that editors of some of channel making ready for good lunches, breakfast, dinners across India

[vakshaj]

I only feel bad for rajiv gandhi if he lived i would been so powerful by now

[stephaniehale]

*Very beautifully you skipped over 6 years of Vajpayee Government from 1998-2004 - This was a transformational time for India. This clearly shows your bias.*
