This time Modi has no emotive message to take to the stump, Prem Panicker writes.

Modi Is Being Outnumbered And Out-Rallied

This time Modi has no emotive message to take to the stump. Muscular nationalism doesn't work against the backdrop of China's successive inroads into Indian territory. Rising prices is a sore point that cuts across class and caste barriers; unprecedented levels of unemployment has the youth in a ferment. This has reduced the BJP campaign to a laundry list of recycled grievances and thinly veiled communal appeals, neither of which are working as well as they have in the past, argues Prem Panicker.

More hype than substance

In 2023, the government’s foreign affairs fell short of the widely propagated “Vishwaguru” myth, displaying mediocrity. Kesava Menon writes.

More hype than substance

India's global interactions in 2023 have been slathered with hype, but a closer look reveals a complex foreign policy with a focus on the Global South, a neutral stance on the Ukraine crisis, and a delicate balancing act with its neighbours. India’s relations with its neighbours such as Pakistan, China, and Bangladesh impact India’s trade and migrant crisis. The country’s somewhat mediocre stance and an incline towards neutrality in the Israel-Palestine war despite Narendra Modi’s explicit pro-Israel stance has been criticised.
