India's Economic Growth, Security Initiatives, and Critiques of Western RankingsPreviousNext

Since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014, India has seen significant economic growth, becoming the world's fourth-largest economy with a stronger central government enabling reforms. In 2026, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the Smart Border Project and High Power Demography Mission to enhance security and demographic resilience, supporting India's development goals. Meanwhile, some Western indices ranking India on issues like hunger and democracy face criticism for methodological flaws and bias, prompting calls for more nuanced assessments.
