Abstract
The election of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India in the 2014 general elections was a turning point in the domestic and international politics of the Republic of India. The perception of India as a global power, aspiring to a new status in the international arena, has been clarified since 2014, being one of the ambitious projects of the new Prime Minister for the country. It is safe to affirm that Modi came to bring greater complexity to the Indian political system, through the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s ascension to power, based on the Hindu-nationalist rhetoric, and the homogenization of India’s religious heritage as exclusively Hindu, opposing itself to the Indian secularism, firmed in the post-Independence period. The effects of a far-right political party based in a strong religious rhetoric on the civil society are approached on this article, as well as the Modi’s project for India in the next few decades. Keywords: India; Hindu-nationalism; Populism; Methodology
