- 20% vote on merit. Irrespective of cast, creed and gender, they always caste their votes on merit and on the ability of candidate. Those who read bio data, who check who is academically strong, who is best candidate.
- 25% give votes based on relationship. A friend, friend's friend, someone who called, someone who met in seminar and gave a broad smile, someone whom he /she called for an article inquiry and responded immediately, who always pickup or return his /her call, someone who visited his or her office. Those relationships work and do convert in the votes. It also includes some influence someone gather seeing someone on dais giving welcome or vote of thanks address.
- 25% people vote based on the region. They don't care what community candidates are therr in fray, they will vote for their area /city /region. So the elimination of a Nagpur candidate gives windfall to someone from Aurangabad is an example of region support, elimination of a Borivali candidate giving highest votes in transfer to other Borivali candidate is an example of area, and elimination of a Surat candidate giving highest to fellow Surati candidate is an example of city.
- 30% people vote based on cast and community. If they don't find anyone from their cast /community, they will vote based on area /city /region.
- So a Marathi elimination gives majority of votes to fellow Marathi candidate at Thane, and Pune, is the proof.
- Another example a Marwari or Gujarati elimination giving a large chunk to fellow Marwari, and Gujarati. These are our 30% typical voters who will vote to a Jain only because of surname even he or she doesn't even heard of the candidate and belongs to other side of the region.
Last but not the least, a miniscule population of our voters, woman votes to another woman. Without sounding misogynist, this doesn't work much.
Agree to this analysis.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right. Now it's time for institute to frame seats like academic seats, administration seats and mrketing/liasoning seats. Because all sectors are important. And also keep live debates on vision mission and their abilities to contribute for institute. Caz new generation can understand candidate by this way only
ReplyDeleteCertainly Yes. CAs are above average people, but still common men.
ReplyDeleteAnd thereafter comes proviso, subject to, notwithstanding, but if, nonetheless, deeming frictions, etc etc.
