Book review: History, process and pious hope
A former chief election commissioner does not apportion blame, but focuses on pivotal poll issues
For long, the holding of elections in India was a somewhat neglected topic — until TN Seshan happened. Since his advent, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has remained in the limelight. From TN Seshan onwards, election commissioners have often felt that their experience in office has been eventful enough to justify a memoir. This has enticed office-bearers into writing about the conduct of elections, the issue of electoral reform, the functioning of the ECI — often laced with personal reminiscences. Navin Chawla, India’s chief election commissioner (CEC) in 2009 and 2010 has, similarly, written “on the story of India’s elections”.
