three national elections, on average, candidates accused of crimes have been almost three times more likely to win. those are the findings of the recent book "when crime pace" by the carnegie endowment'sare so backlogged, trials can drag on for a decade or more. the larger message is that india has long had a message of mixing crime and politics. why does this happen? india is fragmented by his caste system, and in the past few decades, long-oppressed members of the lower castes has been gaining some power and voice. that's brought with it fresh ethnic tension. vashnav and his peers did a study in late 2013. they messaged indian's ethnic bias against how likely they were to face candidates facing serious criminal cases. they found in places with a high degree of ethnic tension, people were much more likely to support the accused in politics. you see, it seems that the more threatened indians felt by the power of other groups, the more likely they would be to vote in a strong man from their side who might have run afoul of the law. this is a clear case of tribalism trumping the rule of law. voters may know a politician breaks the rules, breaks the law, but there's a perception that he
