Elections are sporadic occurrences, while governance is a continuous and routine process. This book delves into the patterns of public opinion on politics and society in India between electoral cycles. By utilizing comprehensive survey data encompassing 24 Indian states, including the National Capital Region of Delhi (NCR), it serves as a valuable tool for gauging public sentiment at the state level. The surveys aim to unravel the intricate web of social and political relationships that exist between citizens, government officials, and other stakeholders. The book explores the perceptions of citizens regarding their social and political surroundings during the interregnum between elections. It examines various aspects such as social attitudes, intergroup friendships, gender roles, and relationships; opinions on governance, accessibility of public services, citizen-state interactions, and trust in political institutions; as well as political attitudes, nationalism, freedom of expression, and populism. Furthermore, this book examines the impact of how the government functions between elections on public perceptions of everyday development and governance outcomes. It explores the government's relationship with citizens on a regular basis, the provision of routine public services, and the maintenance of public order. An insightful examination of public opinion on politics, society, and governance in India, this book holds immense value for scholars and researchers in the fields of political science, governance, public policy, and South Asian studies. It is also of significant interest to bureaucrats, policymakers, think tanks, and organizations engaged in development studies, politics, society, and governance.
