SubscribeThe West Bengal Assembly election has once again turned into the country’s most closely watched political battleground. Outlook's May 11th cover—Khela Hobe?—suggests, the contest is not just electoral but symbolic, with Mamata Banerjee guarding her political turf against an aggressive Bharatiya Janata Party .

Running parallel to this electoral churn is a deeper national debate on representation, captured in our package on women in politics. The long journey of the Women’s Reservation law.
