Courting the Church: The Battle for Kerala’s ‘Christian Vote’

As Kerala heads toward elections, political parties are once again reaching out to the Church leadership, hoping to secure what is often called the 'Christian vote'. But is this community really a unified voting bloc?

TNM's Haritha John and Maria Teresa Raju look through church statements, and gather expert insights, and voices from the ground, in an attempt to understand the complex realities behind faith and politics in the state.

TNM also looks at the Christian community's reported 'shift to the Right' and explores how the community responds to changing political situations.
