Economist Podcasts

This podcast episode explores the enigmatic persona of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, and his impact on the country's governance, economy, and secular democracy. Despite being a powerful figure, Modi remains elusive and rarely interacts with the press. His leadership style, characterized by strongman tendencies and a blend of Hindu nationalist ideology and pro-growth initiatives, has shaped India's economic growth but also raised concerns about the nature of his governance. The episode features insights from Bharat Barai, an Indian-American oncologist and close associate of Modi, highlighting their friendship and the impact Modi has had on Indian-American communities.
