SÉRIE COMPLÈTE

Narendra Modi may well be the most popular politician 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. 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. To listen to the full series, subscribe to Economist Podcasts+.

Thank you for having the guts to do this. It’s a frank look at the undermining of civil and minority rights.
Helpful primer on Modi’s career

Much like the previous Economist series on Xi Jingping, this is a great introduction to Modi’s life and political career, focusing each episode on a different stage in his rise to power. Definitely a critical look but for me, as a non-specialist, a convincing one. Great place to start
Too desperate

I have been following Economist for a good 10 years now and this is the first time I feel that they are trying to desperately find religious divide in India. I am quite confident on my thoughts as I grew up in India and I have been living in United States through my adult life, there is absolutely no discrimination and any of the government policies based on any religion. I do understand that there are aspects to the Modi government which is not perfect, however looking at the level of corruption which has rotten the core of the country for last 50 years it is not a greenfield to transform the country keeping its democratic values. It is important for any government to have checks & balances and have investigative journalism in order to do so. I do agree with a lot of critiques in this series however I am giving one star for the fact that the journalist or the editor is desperately trying to find the divide based on religion which does not exist. Kashmir was an Indian state at the time of independence and it was long due to have its special provision removed and be treated as any other Indian state; the journalist ignored the facts that the demolition which happens of the homes in Utar Pradesh where illegal construction and the municipality was taking steps against this encouragement agnostic of who the resident where; India being multicultural country has the same enthusiasm of expressing their faith be it a Hindu Muslim Christian or Sikh or are any other religion, if you cushion that go to India and see it for yourself if you find any discrimination about the state. I do not write reviews that often but I am so disappointed by Economist that I did had to put it in black-and-white this time. Economist, there are a lot of issues in the world which needs to be brought in front of the wall stage but for the sake of your honor don’t try to find first justifications for your preconceived notions.
Massive bias and incomplete reporting

When did the economist go the way of New York times and make an emotional story from political commentary? Issues I found in just 2 episodes: - Translation usually missing the point, example: calling focus on hygiene as focus on image in episode 1. - Interviews with only one side of riot affected population. Calling the train burning as “started from a small fight…” Sad to see a narrative about a massively influential person being done from a strong bias. I’d give this one a miss.
