Pune, June 11, 2026: As conversations around representation, participation, and political influence continue to evolve in India, Crossword invites readers, thinkers, and political enthusiasts to an engaging evening with author Ruhi Tewari for the launch of her latest book, “What Women Want: Understanding the Female Voter in Modern India.”
The event will take place on Saturday, 13 June, at 5:30 PM at Crossword, Phoenix Avenue of Stars, Viman Nagar, Pune, and will feature an insightful conversation with political analyst and commentator Tehseen Poonawalla.
The event is a timely exploration of one of the most significant forces shaping contemporary Indian democracy: the female voter. In “What Women Want,” journalist and author Ruhi Tewari examines the aspirations, concerns, and voting patterns of women across India, offering a nuanced understanding of how women are increasingly influencing electoral outcomes and public discourse.
The discussion gains further depth through the participation of Tehseen Poonawalla, known for his incisive political commentary and sharp understanding of public affairs. Together, Tewari and Poonawalla will unpack the themes explored in the book, discuss the changing dynamics of voter behaviour, and examine how women have emerged as one of the most powerful constituencies in modern India.
More than a book launch, the event promises to be a meaningful exchange of ideas around democracy, gender, and political participation. Whether you’re an avid reader, a student of politics, or simply curious about the forces shaping India’s future, this conversation offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most relevant political narratives of our time.
