Avantika Chilkoti: 我是经济学人的驻外记者Avantika Chilkoti，十年来我一直关注着印度，特别是莫迪的崛起。莫迪的成功之处在于他将经济发展与民族主义议程巧妙地结合，使印度经济规模翻倍，并在国际舞台上扮演着越来越重要的角色。然而，他的民族主义政策也引发了人们的担忧，特别是对少数族裔的冲击。阿约提亚寺庙的落成典礼就是一个例子，它模糊了宗教与政治的界限，挑战了印度世俗民主的原则。莫迪的权力很大，但他缺乏问责制，这让人们对未来感到担忧。我试图通过采访莫迪的亲信和观察他的政治行为来了解他，并探究他能否继续平衡其政治议程的两个方面，最终将印度建设成为超级大国。 Bharat Barai: 我是莫迪在美国的朋友，曾帮助组织他在麦迪逊广场花园的集会。莫迪是一个有远见卓识的领导人，他带领印度经济取得了巨大的进步。他是一个简单的人，但他的目标是让印度在世界舞台上占据更重要的地位。然而，他的民族主义政策也引发了争议，一些人担心这会威胁到印度的世俗民主。莫迪的成功与挑战并存，他的未来之路充满不确定性。

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 and 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.
