As Maharashtra and Jharkhand go to assembly elections, The Caravan is on the ground, probing, through its unique narrative reporting and analytical lens, what is at stake, how the elections are shaping up, and what they might mean for people in these two states.

Our reporters and commentators will try and make sense of the elections beyond the catchy headlines, the talking points and the daily political slugfests, focussing on consequential issues.

Journalism like this takes a lot of time, effort and, of course, money—which is why we are coming to you.

Contribute to our Election Fund today and enable us to do journalism that stands the test of time.

Your contribution will also enable us to keep select pieces of our election coverage outside the paywall and free to read.

And as a token of our appreciation, you will receive exclusive newsletters about the elections as well as invitations to special sessions where you can interact directly with our reporters and editors to get a sense of this latest democratic exercise beyond what appears in print and on air.
