INDIAN elections 2014 have strongly used digital media in their campaign. In fact, it is assumed that the key to BJP's success was the engagement achieved with supporters, through the use of social mediums. Therefore, this study aims to understand the influence of digital political marketing among youth. Study also helps to identify the political objectives achieved through digital marketing. Although things started late in India but geared up very soon and surpassed many benchmarks in the world of digitization.
The research is based upon Questionnaire. Sample included 80 youths from different spheres whom set of few questions would be asked. Research questions would depend upon the following objective: (i) To understand the influence of digital political marketing among youth, (ii) Effectiveness of online tools in targeting youth for political purpose, (iii) Identification of political objectives achieved through digital marketing, (iv) Assessment of implementation of various policies through digital media, (v) Assessment of accessibility of such digital marketing tools.
It would be subject to further empirical research.
The accuracy of analysis is dependent on accuracy of data. Respondents might answer superficially.
Digital media is playing a considerable role in Indian democracy so this study would probably help to understand more, the use of digital media in different corporations especially in politics. This study might facilitate academicians to get the perspective of digital political marketing among youth.
There has been sufficient research articles focussing upon impact, growth, effect, etc. of digital media on youth. Even talking about digital literacy wouldn't be new. But through this paper we found that how much digital political marketing is influential among youth. This study would probably be the first to identify political objectives achieved through digital marketing and also help to assess, if this media is really helpful to implement the various political policies.
