From a classroom discussion to a published paper.
Beyond Bipolarity: Eroding of Agonistic Pluralism and BJP’s Strategic Inroads in Kerala is now in print.

3/4
The BJP exploited this by drawing a sharp frontier: “Hindus” vs “Anti-Hindu Forces.”
This isn’t just incremental gain. It’s a fundamental reconfiguration of Kerala’s political space.
