Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, after his party won the most seats in Parliament. Atul Loke for The New York Times
Modiâs choices Narendra Modi has won re-election as Indiaâs prime minister, though by a [far narrower margin than expected](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoRRj-P0T1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNi8wNC93b3JsZC9hc2lhL21vZGktaW5kaWEtZWxlY3Rpb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyNDA2MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTI1NjI2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2ODk0NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZlT-k2Jm_ydPmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). With his third consecutive term, the charismatic strongman has sealed his position as the countryâs most significant leader in generations. Despite having led India for a decade, Modi has in some ways kept his country guessing about his vision. On major issues â Indiaâs relationships, its economy, its society and its government â itâs still unclear what sort of country Modi wants India to be. In todayâs newsletter, Alex Travelli, who covers South Asia, explains four of the big questions. Where will India find friends? India has spent recent years deepening its relationship with the U.S. It has gotten closer to American allies, including Japan and Australia, and has ordered high-end American weapons systems â the kind that create dependence down the road. And it is unlikely to side with China. In 2020, Chinese troops crossed into territory controlled by India and killed 20 soldiers in a skirmish. Modi has kept Beijing at armâs length since then. But Modi, 73, has signaled that he doesnât want to be a U.S. ally. Some officials in his inner circle still regard the U.S. warily. American diplomats complain about New Delhiâs apparent efforts to erode democratic norms and the rights of minority groups. So India keeps its options open. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the U.S. tried in vain to persuade India to take a stand against the war. India still processes Russian oil (picking up the slack created by international sanctions). It still buys weapons from Russia. India spent the Cold War trying to position itself as a nonaligned power. Old habits die hard. [Workers in a factory hold up machinery.

Workers in a factory in Coimbatore, India. Atul Loke for The New York Times What type of economy? India recently overtook China as the most populous country and the fastest-growing large economy. Still, most of the country remains poor. About 800 million people need help filling their stomachs. Modiâs ideas about how to help them can be contradictory, at once globally minded and protectionist. One path would be to follow East Asian countries, which escaped poverty by manufacturing goods for export. To that end, Modi began a âMake in Indiaâ initiative in 2014, an effort to replace China as the worldâs factory. But exports have barely risen, even as Modi has thrown new subsidies at them. Some Indian economists say itâs better to focus on exporting services, like information technology and remote professional work. Another Modi vision is for a âself-reliant India,â which would reduce the countryâs exposure to global supply chains. Shielding Indian companies from foreign competition is at odds with preparing them for it. In the face of big economic decisions, Modi sometimes seems equivocal. Like Reagan and Thatcher, he came to power promising to pare down government. In practice, the state wields a heavy hand in most sectors â imposing radical, sometimes half-baked reforms by decree. Protecting minority groups? Indiaâs founders crafted a Constitution for a diverse and secular republic. Modi has been reshaping the country as an explicitly Hindu nation. He converted Jammu and Kashmir, the countryâs only Muslim-majority state, into a heavily policed federal territory. He built a giant Hindu temple on a disputed site where mobs had torn down a mosque. During the campaign this year, he called Muslims, who make up 14 percent of the population, âinfiltrators.â Indiaâs Muslims say they have been turned into [second-class citizens](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoRRj-P0TvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNS8xOC93b3JsZC9hc2lhL211c2xpbXMtaW5kaWEuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyNDA2MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTI1NjI2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2ODk0NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZlT-k2Jm_ydPmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). Modiâs third term will be a test: Has the Hindu nationalist project been fulfilled, or is there more he can do to assert one faithâs supremacy? The call to put Muslims in their place is the lifeblood of Modiâs party, creating winning majorities within a hugely diverse and caste-riven Hindu population. In a third term, Modi could choose new targets, perhaps by agitating for the replacement of historic mosques with more Hindu temples. He may be constrained, however, by his new political partners, who are not beholden to his partyâs Hindu-first projects. [A man sits on a motorbike with a gingham cloth over his shoulder.

About 14 percent of Indiaâs population is Muslim. Anindito Mukherjee for The New York Times How much authoritarianism? One reason for Modiâs enduring popularity is that heâs effective. Modi often imposes reforms suddenly, relying on boldness and even the element of surprise to cut through red tape. He streamlined the tax system and even started a semiconductor industry from scratch. He has no patience for obstacles of any kind. One result is that the worldâs biggest democracy has set aside many democratic norms. The police have thrown leaders of the opposition in jail, swelling the number of political prisoners. The Election Commission has been stacked with pro-Modi appointees. The judiciary hardly ever stands in the way of government priorities. Modi seems to have kept his job but lost his parliamentary majority. Now heâll need to placate coalition partners and consult them on major changes. Maybe that will protect some of the institutions that were built to preserve fair play. The other possibility is that Modi will crack down harder than ever, making full use of the agencies that answer directly to him, to ensure that his party stays ahead of the invigorated competition. Modi has made it this far despite all the complaints about repression. If anything is to hold him back now, it will have to come from within his new governing coalition.
