Image
The fear is that Modi is already beginning to lean more heavily on that first leg of his, Hindu nationalism, now that his economic strategy is losing some of its sheen LATEST NEWS :  The immense popularity of Narendra Modi , India’s most dynamic prime minister in decades, has always rested on two legs: Hindu nationalism and his tantalising promises to build on the country’s go-go economy.

Exports are no longer declining, as they had for several quarters; indeed, for the last month that data is available, they rose 30 percent. The Purchasing Managers’ Index expanded the fastest it has in five years. At least one international ratings agency has upgraded India’s credit rating. Most importantly, growth sped up last quarter for the first time since early 2016. There’s every reason to think it’ll bounce back towards the 7-7.5 percent range shortly. ...
