India's Prime Minister Modi: Popular, polarizing and on the way to a third term. Nearly eight in 10 Indians have a favorable opinion of Modi, including 55 percent who have a very favorable opinion, a recent survey by the Pew Research Center in Washington showed.
Modi has promoted the economy and secured India a place on the world stage. But at the same time he pushed forward his agenda of strengthening Hinduism in public life in what was actually a secular India. Some fear that India could become a Hindu autocracy under Modi.
