There is a crucial word missing from the rambling lead article in Time magazine, which purports to be an analysis of five years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.

Narendra Modi is a product of democracy; for only democracy finds a map for the journey from a hut to the prime minister’s residence. You can hear the voice of the people at Narendra Modi’s rallies. This article first appeared in the print edition on May 11, 2019, under the title ‘Under cover of a story’.
