THIS WEEK we put India on our cover. Voting is under way and in just six weeks Narendra Modi is expected to win a third term as prime minister, cementing his status as the country’s most important leader since Jawaharlal Nehru.
Our coverage focuses on India’s economy and at its heart is a special report by two of our correspondents, Arjun Ramani and Thomas Easton. Many Indians support Mr Modi because they sense that under him India has grown more prosperous and that it has become a force in the world. We agree that Mr Modi’s formula for growth is working—up to a point. But we also question whether India’s success can last and whether it depends on his remaining in power.
