| Summary: | Since Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) assumed power with broad support in 2014, Indian politics has been undergoing a great transition, emphasizing the vision of “India for all” through inclusive growth.

In light of the findings, I proposed several policy implications. |
