Recent publications have highlighted the rise of populism in Indian politics, examining how populist leaders influence electoral outcomes and governance, which has become a critical area of inquiry in understanding India's political landscape. - Environmental Justice and Climate Change:
There is a growing emphasis on environmental justice issues, particularly in light of India's developmental challenges and climate change impacts, showcasing the need for sustainable practices and policies that address inequities. - Digital Governance and Surveillance:

Declining or Waning
- Historical Narratives of Partition:
Although the journal has published significant works on the Partition of India, the frequency of such papers has decreased, possibly due to a shift in focus towards more contemporary issues or the complexities of current socio-political dynamics overshadowing historical analyses. - Traditional Economic Models:
Research centered around conventional economic frameworks and analyses of economic policies from a purely statistical perspective appears to be waning, as the journal pivots towards more nuanced discussions of political economy and social implications of economic decisions. - Caste-Based Politics:
While still relevant, the examination of caste dynamics in Indian politics has become less frequent, possibly due to a broader focus on intersectional issues that encompass various identity markers beyond caste. - Media and Communication Studies:
The exploration of media's role in Indian politics, though still present, has seen a reduction in dedicated studies, as the journal increasingly incorporates broader themes of governance and public policy amid the rise of digital media.
