The Gunday Index: Measuring the Muscle Power in South Asian Politics
Introduction: Beyond the Ballot Box
In mature Western democracies, political power is typically measured by approval ratings, fundraising totals, or advertising spending. However, in large swaths of South Asia—particularly in the Hindi heartland of India, the rural belt of Pakistan, and parts of Bangladesh—there exists a parallel metric for electoral viability. This informal but widely understood metric is known as the Gunday Index.
As one anonymous party treasurer told The Caravan magazine: "If we don't give a ticket to the man with the highest Gunday Index, the opposition will. Then he will come and break our offices."
Some countries with high Gunday Index scores include:
- Diagnosing informal power without fear or naivety.
- Choosing interventions — raise legitimacy, reduce stability, never match violence with violence unless you’re a state actor.
- Protecting communities by understanding that even gundas operate on a risk-reward logic.
