Abstract

The article analyzes the expressive peculiarities of Modi's administration among "right-wing" nationalisms. Traditional Indian elements underpin personalism and religious chauvinism. Since the 1990s, economic liberalization measures have been intertwined with state development strategies, emphasizing high-tech sectors. Agricultural legislation to modernize rural activity has faced strong reactions from millions of farmers. Tax and monetary system reforms seek to strengthen the state and concentrate power in the central government. The foreign policy maintains traditional guidelines to morph India into a global power. Modi cultivates the image of a strong leader capable of establishing strategies in disputes with China while preserving relations with Beijing. Diversification of partnerships and negotiation of trade agreements aim to highlight national autonomy and the concept of sovereignty as a value that historically accompanies the desire for productive modernization.
