Since Narendra Modi became prime minister of India in 2014, the nation has undergone enormous changes. Supporters of Modi and the direction in which he has taken India applaud his efforts to tackle corruption, promote technological development, and position his country-now the most populous in the world-as a major player on the global stage. Under Modi's leadership, they contend, India's economy has soared and the nation has become a key U.S. ally in Asia against terrorism. Opponents of Modi and the direction in which he has taken India argue that he has stoked religious, ethnic, and social tensions, corrupted many of the nation's institutions, and cracked down on freedom of speech and expression. He has ruled more like an autocrat than an elected leader, they contend, and his economic policies have done little to lift millions of Indians out of poverty. Is Modi's India heading in the right direction?
