Why Bharat is called India?

Why do people love Modi so much?
People voted her out after two years. Mr Modi is a strongman, and people possibly love him for that. A 2017 report by the CSDS showed that respondents who supported democracy in India had dropped from 70\% to 63\% between 2005 and 2017.
Is Modi a messiah who will solve India’s problems?
Many Indians seem to believe that Mr Modi is a kind of messiah who will solve all their problems.

What is the BJP’s political style under Modi?

Is Modi to blame for India’s currency crisis?
