Narendra Modi’s overwhelming victory in India’s elections is an extraordinary personal achievement. It confirms Mr Modi’s ascendancy over the world’s second most populous country and largest democracy. It confirms the marginalisation of the Congress party, which had dominated Indian politics for most of the years after independence in 1947. It confirms the rise of Hindu nationalism as an increasingly dominant ideology, in place of the secularism promulgated by the founders of independent India.
纳伦德拉•莫迪(Narendra Modi)在印度选举中的压倒性胜利是一项非凡的个人成就。它证实了莫迪在世界上人口第二多的国家、最大民主国家的支配地位。它证实了在印度1947年独立后大部分时间里主导该国政坛的国大党被边缘化。它证实了印度教民族主义日益成为一种主流意识形态,取代独立印度的先辈们所倡导的世俗主义。
