Anthropologists have largely left unexplored the analysis of how ideas and practices of democracy have been internalized in the popular consciousness of different societies and neglected the development of an anthropology of democratization processes. Using the political ethnography of a powerful northern India caste (the Yadavs), the article unravels what I call the process of vernacularization of democratic politics, meaning the ways in which values and practices of democracy become embedded in particular cultural and social practices, and in the process become entrenched in the consciousness of ordinary people. The analysis of how the local idioms of caste, kinship, kingship, religion, and politics ('the vernacular') inform popular perceptions of the political world and of how the democratic process shapes in turn 'the vernacular' provides a line of inquiry to understand the rise of popular politics in different parts of the world.RésuméLes anthropologues se sont peu intéressés à la manière dont les idées et pratiques de la démocratie ont été incorporées dans la conscience populaire de différentes sociétés, et ont négligé le développement d'une anthropologie des processus de démocratisation. À travers l'ethnographie politique d'une caste du nord de l'Inde, les puissants Yadavs, l'auteur restitue ce qu'elle appelle un processus de vernacularisation de la politique démocratique, autrement dit la manière dont les valeurs et pratiques de la démocratie s'intègrent dans des pratiques culturelles et sociales particulières, et s'ancrent au cours de ce processus dans la conscience des gens. L'analyse des manières dont les idiomes locaux de caste, parenté, royauté, religion et politique (« le vernaculaire ») informent les perceptions populaires du monde politique et dont le processus démocratique donne forme à son tour au « vernaculaire » fournit une méthode d'enquête pour comprendre la montée en puissance de la politique populaire dans différentes parties du monde
