Sitapati tells the party’s story through the lives of its two most consequential leaders in the twentieth century: Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1924-2018) served as prime minister between 19. Journalist and political scientist Vinay Sitapati’s fine book, Jugalbandi: The BJP Before Modi, is an excellent place to start. How did a once marginal party, dismissed by critics as an assortment of antediluvian cranks and religious bigots, come to occupy center-stage in the world’s largest democracy? To understand today’s BJP, you must first familiarize yourself with what came before Modi. Yet outside of a handful of specialists, Americans know little about Hindu nationalism or the BJP. implicitly backs India as a democratic counterweight to authoritarian China. Leaders of the two nations regularly frame their budding partnership as one between the world’s oldest and largest democracies. Over the past two decades, however, the rise of China and the growth of the Indian middle class has boosted India’s salience in Washington. As the argument goes, even Modi’s catastrophic mishandling of the pandemic this spring may not be enough to dislodge him from power in national elections due in 2024.Īt another time, the beliefs and behavior of an Indian political party would matter little to Americans. Some scholars believe that the ruling party has grown so dominant-armed with a bulging war chest, captive government institutions, and a well-oiled propaganda machine-that it enjoys a structural advantage over other contenders for power.
The BJP routinely outspends and out-organizes its rivals. The BJP currently counts nearly six times more members in the directly-elected lower house of Parliament than its chief rival, the once-dominant left-of-center Congress Party. Modi has led the BJP to single-party majorities in two successive national elections-a feat no leader has achieved since 1971-and made deep inroads beyond its traditional strongholds in northern and western India.
