Let me ask a serious question of those who vocally argued for Narendra Modi during his rise to power in 2013-14: What did they think India would be talking about on his third anniversary as prime minister? I’m not sure what they would reply, but I suspect it would be something about new jobs, a freshly dynamic private sector, administrative and economic reform, investment in military reorganisation, a fresh approach to long-standing foreign policy problems. At least, these are the claims the less obviously religiously-inspired followers of Modi made at the time.
What are, instead, the issues of the day
