The tension between Modi’s avowed economic reformism and the cultural nativism that animates his government’s electoral base is a major impediment to progress. After all, the political majority that Modi needs to pursue his economic policies depends on the organizational capacity of the very people whose chauvinism is undermining him.
莫迪所承诺的经济改革与巩固其政府选举基础的文化沙文主义之间的紧张将是进步的主要障碍。毕竟，莫迪追求其经济政策需要政治多数，政治多数取决于组织力，组织力要靠的正是持沙文主义的人——也就是莫迪的执政基础。
