Bangalore for the Indian elections

Available for over a year

Mukul Devichand is joined by BBC Hindi’s Neha Bhatnagar as well as a live audience in the National Law School in Bangalore. They’ll be discussing how online activity is shaping and impacting on India’s general elections, the biggest voting event in the world. Mukul finds out how a slap from a rickshaw driver went viral, and explores whether the "E-Empowerment" movement can really change the political realities of India. We look at the rise of the AAP Party, born out of social media, and meet all three political parties through the sarcastic lens of YouTube comedian Gusimran Khamba. Produced by Estelle Doyle
