Accurate, reliable statistics pertaining to the Lok Sabha (Indian Parliament) elections have long been difficult to access. Assembling the results of the Ninth (1989) and Tenth (1991) elections--as well as all bye-elections held since the Eighth election in 1985--V. B. Singh′s latest volume is an essential resource for researchers at all levels. This extensive work provides a wide array of critical data at the all-India and state levels including the names of the winners and runners-up, party affiliations of the main candidates, percentage of votes polled by them, and total voter turnout. Compiled from reports issued by the Election Commission, all constituency results have been meticulously checked for errors and omissions, and state and national aggregates calculated using the corrected results. Political scientists, psephologists, and those conducting research in any number of related areas will find Elections in India a comprehensive and invaluable reference tool
