Power Index, Dynamics and Scenarios

The synthesis of the studies: natural experiments (FCRA cancellations, the end of electoral bonds, changes of government, the election cycle, platform events), the power vector matrix and index, the balance of each layer over time, causal loops, chokepoints, resilience and scenarios to 2036.

The 14 figures in this chapter are reproduced from the Atlas report and its synthesis, with the passage of the study that explains each. They keep the study’s own labels and colours: RW denotes the Hindutva-aligned bloc and LW the coalition that contests it (see A Note on Terms).
