This site is devoted to an analysis of the online stories, in the MSM and Social Media, about Indian Elections that will take place in 2009. We analyze the Vox Bloguli to see if it reflects Vox Populi, as far as Indian Elections 2009 are concerned. We mantain a blog that identifies the issues, events, and personalities associated with the elections. We supplement this with an analysis of the information ecology in MSM and the (rather limited) Indian political blogosphere. Our program crawls websites and political blogs to identify the top topics, opinions and memes, looks for trends, and tries to spot new and emerging memes. We look at the sentiments expressed about candidates and issues in the websphere. We also try to identify partisan or ideological leanings of blogs and main stream media sites, and capture these in our sentiment and meme analysis.

State Elections 2008


"BSP is a party which does not enter into poll alliances. Everybody knows that. So neither the BSP nor the CPI(M) is talking about having seat or electoral adjustments. Since they are also taking a stand to fight the Congress and BJP, we are making contacts"
CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat, Jan 10, 2009
