1 author picked I am a Troll as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I started working in Indian politics, I believed fixing issues that people faced was the prime driver of votes. It soon became obvious that it wasn’t facts and issues that determined election results, it was emotions.

From Shivam's list on understanding Indian politics.
