In conversation with literary critic Mandira Nayar, Ruhi Tiwari speaks to The Tribune about the evolution of the woman voter, how she holds the power to winning elections and how it is not only about handing out freebies in the special book show, #Shelflife Ruhi Tiwari has covered many elections. In the past decade she has seen how women chosen to exercise not only their right to vote, but have emerged as a constituency that politicians want to court. From 1984 when they came in large numbers to bring Rajiv Gandhi to power to keeping Nitish Kumar in power, to becoming strong supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi—as well as beneficiaries—Tiwari breaks down the woman voter, as well as what she wants, how gender plays a role in elections and how women want more than just mixes. The challenge ahead for political parties is not courting them but keeping them too.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
