В статье рассматриваются проблемы расстановки социально-политических сил в Индии накануне парламентских выборов, состоявшихся в апреле-мае 2024 г. В первой части работы сопоставляются позиции и положение основных избирательных блоков, Национального демократического альянса во главе с «Бхаратия джаната парти» (БДП) и партийной коалиции I. N.D.I.A. под управлением Индийского национального конгресса, обращено внимание на сильные и слабые стороны каждого из вышеназванных объединений. Вторая часть работы акцентирует внимание на оценках и прогнозах результатов парламентских выборов.

Результаты выборов анализируются со стороны функционирующей в Индии мажоритарной избирательной системы относительного большинства. В заключительной части работы предпринята попытка оценить влияние результатов состоявшихся парламентских выборов на перспективы развития российско-индийских отношений
