Avantika Chilkoti对莫迪十年执政进行了回顾,指出莫迪在经济发展方面取得了显著成就,使印度经济规模翻倍,并提升了印度在国际舞台上的地位。然而,莫迪政府的强烈的印度教民族主义色彩也引发了争议,尤其对穆斯林等少数民族造成了恐惧。Chilkoti试图探究莫迪的真实面目以及他能否平衡经济发展和民族主义这两大议程,最终实现将印度建设成为超级大国的目标。她采访了莫迪的朋友Bharat Barai,并通过对莫迪在美国集会和阿约提亚寺庙落成典礼等事件的描述,展现了莫迪的政治影响力和其政策引发的社会反响。Chilkoti还强调了莫迪缺乏问责制的问题,这与民主原则相悖,并引发了人们对印度未来走向的担忧。 Bharat Barai作为莫迪的朋友,见证了莫迪在美国的巨大影响力,并参与了莫迪在美国的集会活动。他认为莫迪是一个有能力提升印度国际形象的领导人。然而,关于Bharat Barai对莫迪民族主义政策的具体观点,访谈中并未明确提及。

Deep Dive

Shownotes Transcript

Narendra Modi is one of the most popular politicians on the planet. India’s prime minister is eyeing a third term atop the world’s biggest democracy. 

A tea-seller’s son, Mr Modi began life an outsider. The man behind the political phenomenon remains hard to fathom. India has become an economic powerhouse during his ten years in charge. But he’s also the frontman for a chauvinistic Hindu nationalist dogma. 

Can Mr Modi continue to balance both parts of his agenda and finish the job of turning India into a superpower? The Economist’s Avantika Chilkoti finds out what makes him tick. 

Launching June 2024.
