Analysis | The Modi factor in U.S. politics

The Hindu  

Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorse U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election bid in his Houston speech on September 22? Abki baar Modi sarkar was Mr. Modi’s 2014 campaign slogan that a Hindutva group in the U.S. had repurposed for Mr. Trump, who made a short campaign ad with himself uttering the Hindi slogan. Mr. Modi’s expansive diaspora politics draws from Hindutva that sees Hindus as a trans-border civilisational community with Bharat as its “natural home”. This amounts to Mr. Modi’s diaspora politics trying to tilt the scale in favour of Mr. Trump and against the Democrats. “He’s brought India together, we’ll call him the Father of India,” Mr. Trump said three days later, about Mr. Modi.
