India · 2014–
Narendra Modi
Hindu-nationalist majority. Pro-business reforms with a majoritarian cultural project.
Narendra Modi is on the world-leaders chart for India, 2014–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Hindu-nationalist majority. Pro-business reforms with a majoritarian cultural project.
The dot is economics +36 and authority +50, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Development for all, a Hindu cultural majority, and a cleaner, more formal economy. Done: Infrastructure and a goods tax, plus citizenship and temple politics his critics call majoritarian. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil, +46 / +54) and Winston Churchill (United Kingdom, +22 / +42). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
