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.
納倫德拉•莫迪(Narendra Modi)在印度選舉中的壓倒性勝利是一項非凡的個人成就。它證實了莫迪在世界上人口第二多的國家、最大民主國家的支配地位。它證實了在印度1947年獨立後大部分時間裏主導該國政壇的國大黨被邊緣化。它證實了印度教民族主義日益成爲一種主流意識形態,取代獨立印度的先輩們所倡導的世俗主義。
