As India begins voting in world’s largest democratic exercise (results June 4), a thread of some of our @nytimes coverage in lead up to the vote.
Our story today, from the campaign trail:
Modi’s Power Keeps Growing, and India Looks Sure to Give Him More

A shrub in impoverished Nepal now supplies the raw material for the bank notes used in Asia’s most sophisticated financial system
Happy to report this heartwarming story from Ilam, eastern Nepal @travelli@nytimesworld @nytimes

Tamil Nadu is racing ahead not just in making iPhones but human development. “We never compare our growth with other Indian states,” TRB Rajaa said. “We chart ourselves to the growth of Scandinavian countries and how we can beat that.” @travellinytimes.com/2024/02/02/bus…
4/ The overall puzzle resonates with @travelli's recent @nytimes piece on the Indian economy: "India Is Chasing China’s Economy. But Something Is Holding It Back." nytimes.com/2024/01/02/bus…
"Whether these plans succeed or fail, they make apparent a giant scale of ambition...also make it clear that India sees a muscular role for the state, with a mixture of tariffs & subsidies to help its national champions..into global competition" @travellinytimes.com/2023/09/13/bus…
“One of India’s advantages is geopolitical…the war in Ukraine has all but ended Russia’s role as a competitor...Likewise, the USG would be more likely to approve any Am. company’s sending milt-grade tech through India than through China” writes @travellinytimes.com/2023/07/04/bus…
Too Many Workers, or Too Few: India’s Colossal Employment Challenge nytimes.com/2023/06/28/wor…
As India overtakes China to become the world’s most populous nation, solving its economic mismatch is perhaps its most crucial task. With @travelli & Atul Loke
I was really excited to work on this piece with graphics editors and our India correspondent about how dramatically the global oil trade has shifted since the war in Ukraine, and India's central place in that new calculus

Among Modi's many avatars keeping him intimately omnipresent across India's vastness is his role as 📻 host.
His show is key to understanding how he weaves his grip over India’s imagination, advanced by a digital apparatus that can take anything viral.

"Almost all of the 288 dead were in those three cars at the front of the train — a fact, confirmed by officials, that has gone almost unnoticed in India." nytimes.com/2023/06/11/wor…
Including "The primary role of India’s 57 Mountain Division is to serve as a reserve formation for the India-China border; now, the army has diverted the troops and recommitted them to internal security in Manipur," and other important geopolitical context

India, the world’s most populous country and home to the fastest-growing major economy, is now also the site of a war zone, as weeks of ethnic violence in the remote northeastern state of Manipur has claimed about 100 lives.
