"India's 2024 Election: Modi's Push for Hindu Nationalism and the World's Largest Democratic Exercise"

The upcoming Indian election is expected to result in a third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which aims to reshape India as a Hindu nation. The BJP's Hindu nationalist ideology, rooted in the early 20th century, seeks to marginalize Muslims and Christians, and has already led to discriminatory laws and policies. With a strong majority, the BJP could further solidify its vision, potentially altering the constitution and fundamentally restructuring the Indian state. The opposition faces challenges, and the outcome of the election will have significant implications for the future of India and its diverse population.
