ABSTRACT Several recent studies propose that political choices of Indian youth can hardly be distinguished from those of their parents in many respects. Contrary to this well-established understanding, this article shows that when set apart from the spheres of family and work, students in a flagship Indian university—mostly in the social sciences and humanities—gradually transform their political attitudes in light of prolonged exposure to a campus environment. Through combining ethnographic study with the analysis of a survey of political attitudes of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, we show that time spent in situ fosters participation to political activities, increases chances of joining a student organization and make students more likely to identify themselves as politically radical. The class and caste background of students, on the other hand, are not strongly associated with political attitudes, showing the integrative nature of politicization on the JNU campus.

从一个参与者群体到另一个群体：调查印度大学的代际政治孵化

摘要 最近的几项研究表明，印度青年的政治选择在许多方面与他们父母的政治选择几乎没有区别。与这种公认的理解相反，本文表明，当与家庭和工作领域分开时，印度一所旗舰大学的学生——主要是社会科学和人文学科的学生——由于长期接触社会科学和人文学科，逐渐改变了他们的政治态度。校园环境。通过将民族志研究与对贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学 (JNU) 学生政治态度调查的分析相结合，我们表明，在原地度过的时间促进了对政治活动的参与，增加了加入学生组织的机会，并使学生更有可能表明自己的身份作为政治激进。学生的阶级和种姓背景，
