Madhav Singh is an MPhil student in Politics (Comparative Government) at the University of Oxford. His current research delves into the strategies of democratic resilience, with a particular focus on the variances in state responses to democratic challenges within federal systems. His work is pioneering in its examination of an unexplored aspect of the contemporary Indian political scene: the resilience of state-level democratic practices in the face of national-level institutional strains, especially under the governance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Before embarking on his graduate studies, Madhav distinguished himself by earning a BA summa cum laude in Political Science from Ashoka University. His commitment to political research was further evidenced by his tenure as a visiting research assistant at 'Lokniti' – the Programme for Comparative Democracy at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies. This role underscored his keen interest in comparative democracy, laying the groundwork for his current research pursuits.
Madhav's professional experience extends to several other leading organisations and think tanks. His roles at the Centre de Sciences Humaines (CSH), Centre for New Economic Studies (CNES), and KPMG Global Services (KGS) have honed his analytical and research skills, enriching his understanding of global political and economic dynamics.
