  • Innuendo As Outreach: @Narendramodi and the Use of Political Irony on Twitter
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 4197–4218 1932–8036/20170005 Innuendo as Outreach: @narendramodi and the Use of Political Irony on Twitter JOYOJEET PAL PRIYANK CHANDRA PADMA CHIRUMAMILLA VAISHNAV KAMESWARAN ANDRE GONAWELA UDIT THAWANI PRITIKA DASGUPTA University of Michigan, USA Our analysis of tweets from @narendramodi demonstrates how the Indian prime minister used political irony, enacted through sarcasm and wordplay, to refashion his political style and practice into a more broadly appealing populist ethic. We deconstruct confrontational Twitter messages laced with innuendo to explore the use of language as a means of political self-representation. Modi’s use of irony provides a form of political spectacle and demonstrably resonates on social media, as quantified by the high retweeting of his sarcastically worded messages. We identify three rhetorical strategies in these tweets: (1) appeals to the base through the use of popular idiom, (2) creation of a shared cognitive environment to allow followers in on inside jokes and a means of affiliating with the leader, and (3) the performance of righteousness in underlining the leader’s use of wit and restraint. We argue that the use of political irony in these tweets must be seen as part of a longer-term performative effort to recast Modi’s political image from a regional strongman into a sophisticated communicator. Keywords: Twitter, India, Narendra Modi, sarcasm, irony, populism Narendra Modi has more than 35 million followers on Twitter and 43 million likes on Facebook, a combined tally greater than that of any other elected leader in the world.1 He has more direct social media Joyojeet Pal: [email protected] Priyank Chandra: [email protected] Padma Chirumamilla: [email protected] Vaishnav Kameswaran: [email protected] Andre Gonawela: [email protected] Udit Thawani: [email protected] Pritika Dasgupta: [email protected] Date submitted: 2016–12–05 Copyright © 2017 (Joyojeet Pal, Priyank Chandra, Padma Chirumamilla, Vaishnav Kameswaran, Andre Gonawela, and Pritika Dasgupta).

  • Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options
    Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options Sandip Sukhtankar1 Milan Vaishnav2 April 27, 2015 Abstract Corruption has become an increasingly salient issue in India today, spawning both enormous interest from the media as well as a large amount of academic research. Yet there is a large gap between what has captured the media’s attention, the policy options under discussion, and the actual evidence base drawn from empirical research on corruption. We attempt to bridge this gap, directly addressing the particular challenges that corruption in India poses. Academic evidence supports the popular perception that corruption is widespread and endemic. However, we find that the costs of day-to-day corruption are just as large, if not larger, than those of the “scams” that dominate headlines. Further, we find that there is very little evidence to support the idea that greater transparency, information, and community based efforts have a significant impact on reducing corruption on their own. This is also true for some technological interventions, although those interventions – like direct benefit transfers – that bypass middlemen and corrupt officials have a much greater scope for success, as do interventions that transfer bargaining power to citizens and beneficiaries. We find much to commend in the sensible and wide-ranging legislative agenda to combat corruption, including the Right to Service and Public Procurement bills. However, what is most important for combating corruption is not the law on paper but the implementation of the law; the binding constraint, as always, is the government’s desire and ability to punish corrupt officials and politicians.

  • Gender Stereotyping of Female Politicians on Twitter
    Journal of Content, Community & Communication Amity School of Communication Vol. 13 Year 7, June - 2021 [ISSN: 2395-7514 (Print) ] Amity University, Madhya Pradesh [ISSN: 2456-9011 (Online)] WOMEN LEADERS AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: GENDER STEREOTYPING OF FEMALE POLITICIANS ON TWITTER Neha Saluja PhD. Scholar, Symbiosis International University, Pune (Corresponding Author) Email: [email protected] Dr N. Thilaka Director, Symbiosis School of Media & Communication, Bengaluru ABSTRACT Digital media has evolved into the most comprehensive space of political communication. Many politicians utilise social media platforms to extend their political discourse, and the public has exhibited divergent responses. However, female political leaders are often subjected to a unique pattern of reception distinct from that of their male counterparts. This research employs qualitative content analysis and Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) to draw gender-specific inferences from the Twitter discourse of three prominent female leaders in India: Priyanka Gandhi, Mayawati Smriti Irani. It explores the relationship between their digital discourse and the scope of performative gender in modern-day political communication. Through findings incorporating relevant points of intersection between attitudes of misogyny and the popular conception of leadership, it foregrounds the key concept of gender trolling in digital communication. In doing so, the research signifies a predominantly discriminative digital media that delineates the growth of egalitarian politics. Keywords: Female leaders, political communication, Twitter, gender, stereotyping INTRODUCTION gendered leadership stereotypes that The unprecedented growth of digital automatically assigns women to an imaginary platforms in recent years has paved the way set of rules and regulations (Aaldering and for the growth of political communication Van Der Pas, 2018, p.

Acknowledgments Notes Index About the Author Copyright INTRODUCTION In the months before starting this book, I was writing and talking about the concept that I called Per Capita Hope. In my short lifetime, it seemed as if the world’s largest democracy would alter beyond recognition and finally take that lumbering leap into modernity promised when its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, spoke of its “tryst with destiny” in his midnight speech at independence in 1947. While economists and politicians were content to debate infinitely the rise of gross domestic product (GDP) that, since India’s economic liberalization began in 1991, has pulled the nation out of everlasting penury, it seemed to me that this narrow focus on GDP hid a more powerful phenomenon: the newfound freedom from anxiety and a constant sense of being held back, the paranoia of failure and the humiliation of class that millions of Indians have been freed from.

Humiliation is retribution for WILLUPASURVIVE a more dangerous sin, arrogance. Parties often blossom after an Aelection victory, as Congress did after 2004; very few retain any relationship with reality after re-election. The trap of 2012 was set in 2009. Rahul Gandhi sought to win his electoral spurs in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on the road to the Prime Minister’s office. After two years of effort THIS SUMMER? and expense, he has just discovered that he has A battered Congress stares at an ominous future as belligerent allies are likely to strike at the UPA Government’s weakest moment neither horse nor direction along the Gangetic belt. Family, in these egalitarian times, is an PARKASH (LEFT) AND SUKHBIR SINGH inadequate rationale for office. BADAL ATTHE GOLDEN TEMPLE, AMRITSAR Dynasties are loath to admit mistakes, since they damage their principal claim to power, mystique. Even a punctured prince must be praised, therefore, if for nothing else than hard work, as if hard work is perfectly understandable for mortals like Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati but a labour of love for a prince. Everyone works hard in an election. Defeat cannot be a prince’s fault: Candidates were wrong, or the party was to blame and not a whisper about who chose the candidates, or who was in charge of building the party.
