A new 7000-person survey conducted by phone in India between April 13 and May 14, 2022, finds:
high levels of support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who likely remains among the most popular national leaders in the world today;
extraordinary nationalist sentiment among Indians, at high levels compared to prior cross-national surveys using identical question wording;
troubling signs of intolerance toward India’s large Muslim minority, which helps provide context to recent controversies;
strong confidence in the Indian government’s ability to defend India against potential domestic and foreign threats;
expectations among a majority of Indian respondents that the U.S. military would support India in the event of a war with China or Pakistan; and
large majorities in favor of Indian numerical nuclear superiority against its adversaries.
The survey was intended to measure Indian attitudes towards the current government, India’s domestic challenges, and inter-state disputes as part of a broader Stimson Center initiative to understand the political incentives leaders face during interstate crises in southern Asia.1 This nationally representative survey was translated and fielded in 12 languages for respondents in all 28 Indian states and 6 of India’s 8 union territories by the Centre for Voting Opinion & Trends in Election Research (CVoter).2

India’s Government Is Prioritizing Nationalism Over Economic Renewal
Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has long propagated two core ambitions: building a culturally Hindu-centric nation and aggressively advancing India’s economic development.
