As Narendra Modi completes a year in office, Monocle’s Steve Bloomfield is joined by Milan Vaishnav and Shashank Bengali to discuss where the world’s largest democracy is today.
Vaishnav begins by saying that Modi’s number one priority is the economy, and that he deserves some credit for improving India’s macroeconomic performance.
