The Modi Phenomenon – at what price? by Dr. Habib Siddiqui
Narendra Modi has become a phenomenon – that can’t be ignored.
As
the twice-elected prime minister of the most populous country in our
planet, since 2014, Modi is arguably the most popular political leader
in the world today. He is enormously popular in India, even in the
eastern state of West Bengal where the opposition Trinamool Congress has
been ruling for more than a decade.
According to a survey conducted in 2022 by LocalCircles, a Community Social Media platform in India, 2 in 3 Indians surveyed believed that Modi Government had met their expectations. If the survey results could be trusted for being unbiased, seemingly Modi government’s positive ratings have been above 60% since 2015 (with only two exceptions in 2018 and 2021). Few other incumbent leaders around the world have such consistently high polling numbers.
Modi’s support is not limited to within India only. He is very popularwithin the diaspora Indians living outside India. It is worth sharing here that most of my former Hindu and Jain classmates from Indiawho went to graduate schools with me in Canada and the USA are now unabashed supporters of the BJP politics and Modi’s brand of Hindutva. A few of them were not strict Hindus then. So, it has been a shocking experience for me to find out that they arenow great admirers of a mass murderer – the Butcher of Gujarat.
