For days, Israeli leaders have threatened to respond to Iran’s strikes, which turned the two countries’ yearslong shadow war into a direct confrontation. The attack came after the U.S. and European allies imposed new sanctions on Iranian military leaders and weapons makers, while imploring Israel not to risk a wider war by retaliating too strongly.

[Three women work on electronic voting equipment in front of a mural showing two people.] Officials working at a polling station in Chennai. R. Satish Babu/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images The world’s biggest election begins Voting begins today in a multistage election in India in which hundreds of millions of people will cast ballots to determine whether their country’s powerful prime minister, Narendra Modi, will win a third term in office. The vote is seen as a referendum on Modi’s economic record and his increasingly centralized and Hindu-first vision of India. The elections run through June 1, [and results are expected on June 4](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoBH93P0T1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8xNi93b3JsZC9hc2lhL2luZGlhLTIwMjQtZWxlY3Rpb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyNDA0MTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTIwOTQ2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2NDE4NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZiB3-iFmLSRM_lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). My colleague Amelia Nierenberg spoke to Mujib Mashal, the South Asia bureau chief. How likely is a victory for Modi? Modi and his coalition, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, have a huge, solid majority. And despite an anti-incumbency ethos in Indian elections, Modi is different — his personal appeal is huge. He’s very popular. And he basically rules as one man, without having to go through regular parliamentary discussions and debates. However, there can always be a surprise element in Indian elections. That’s particularly true because Modi has such tight control of the media and information that you may never get an exact sense of what could be percolating on the ground. What is Modi’s pitch? He argues that his 10 years in office have helped India’s stature on the global stage. He says that India is rising as an economic and diplomatic power and that he’s helping to inject some ambition into the country. And a lot of people say that Modi’s 10 years have brought some stability to the country. But there’s a contradiction in India’s rise. While it’s growing as an economic and diplomatic power, it’s a very unequal growth. The economy is not creating enough jobs for its huge youth population, and hundreds of millions of people are still at the mercy of government rations. A lot of his pitch remains along religious lines. He mixes economic and development appeal with a strong Hindu nationalist, Hindu-first appeal. How so? Modi wants India as a developed country. He also wants it to develop according to a Hindu nationalist vision. He brings it all together in this one simple narrative: He is helping India rise. For him, for his party, the identity of India is directly linked to the idea of Hinduism. [Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing atop a truck covered in flowers. Crowds of people flank the road.] Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India campaigning in Hyderabad recently. Noah Seelam/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images What’s the opposition’s strategy? Their pitch is largely a criticism of Modi. But they are struggling for ideological clarity, beyond the fact that Modi is growing autocratic, that Modi is following politics of communal hate and that Modi is favoring his billionaire friends. How are people feeling about this election? The pride in voting is great — people celebrate the process, which the turnout makes clear. But, increasingly, there’s also this sense that voting itself is overemphasized, and that democracy is not just about voting. It’s also what happens when a kind of strongman like Modi uses his popularity to reshape that democracy between the votes.
