The enduring popularity of Narendra Modi

BBC World Service - Weekend, The enduring popularity of Narendra Modi

The ‘kingmaker’ in Indian politics tells us why Narendra Modi is so popular

The ‘kingmaker’ in Indian politics tells us why Narendra Modi is so popular.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been in power since 2014, still remains hugely popular. We hear why that’s the case. 

Also on the programme: A high-profile American author argues in her new book that we are teaching our children to put too much focus on their emotions; and we hear from author Catherine Nixey about her new book on the competing early Christian churches.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Australian author and journalist Latika Bourke and H.A. Hellyer, senior associate fellow in international security studies at the Royal United Services Institute.
