This book tells the story of a series of citizen-led, citizen driven campaigns to energies institutions of local self governance in India in recent times. Staggering in its outreach and magnitude, PEVAC (Pre-Election Voters’ Awareness Campaigns) reached out to huge swathes of the population, particularly in rural India, through a unique network that incorporated civil society organizations across the country, the media and the State Election Commission itself. The book takes us through the heat and dust of this extraordinary series of citizen driven campaigns, drawing from a repertoire of field reports and interviews to reflect on the significance of this ‘experiment’ on deepening democracy in India. At the core of the book is the campaign story and its intended and unintended consequences in generating dialogues on ‘everyday’ democracy. It maps an experiment which recognizes that democracy cannot be deepened without the active participation of its citizens, and without multiple dialogues being generated at all levels
