About the Discussion

Published by Oxford University Press, India, ‘India Tomorrow: Conversations with the Next Generation of Political Leaders’ takes a deep-dive into the current domain of Indian politics. The authors interview many prominent young and dynamic politicians in India such as Priyanka Gandhi, Devendra Fadnavis, Rahul Gandhi, Milind Deora, Smriti Irani, Akhilesh Yadav, Omar Abdullah, Aditya Thakeray among others. The exercise taps into their brand of politics; local, national, and global concerns; challenges and goals, as well as the political future each of them imagines for their constituencies and the country. Through insights into these politicians and their journeys, the authors paint a picture of the course the young republic will take in decades to come.

About the Series

The CPR-TCPD Dialogues on Indian Politics brings together academicians, policy and political practitioners, and civil society actors to grapple with important social and political issues in India. It provides a forum for intellectually rigorous, non-partisan commentary to strengthen public discourse on politics in India. This dialogue series is an effort to understand the changing dynamics of Indian political parties, the impact of new and emerging social movements and the use of new instruments of mobilisation in our polity.

The CPR-TCPD Dialogues is curated by the Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and the Trivedi Centre for Political Data (TCPD) at Ashoka University.

The CPR-TCPD Dialogues leverages the unique strengths of these two institutions to provide rigorous and innovative commentary on India’s social and political challenges.
