A research paper titled "Democratic Backsliding in the World's Largest Democracy" has put Ashoka University at the center of a political row. Authored by Sabyasachi Das, an Assistant Professor of Economics at the university, the paper hinted at possible vote manipulation by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. However, the university administration has officially disassociated itself from it.
