Prime Minister Narendra Modi has returned to a historic third consecutive term in office – albeit with a weaker mandate. Modi 3.0 will encounter many opportunities and challenges as India strives to maintain a pre-eminent role in its neighbourhood and advances its geopolitical stature amid escalating great power competition.
Notwithstanding its developmental challenges, the country also seeks to harness its demographic dividend and become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027. Join us as we decode these and other complex issues and unpack how Modi’s diminished victory will shape India’s trajectory as a rising power.
Speakers:
Dr. Rahul Mukherji, Professor & Head of the Political Science Department, South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University
Dr. Aparna Pande, Research Fellow & Director of the India Initiative, Hudson Institute
