Sanjive and Seema Khanna argue over Prime Minister Narendra Modi at their home in Lucknow this month. By Niha Masih and Niha Masih Foreign correspondent covering India Bio Follow Joanna Slater Joanna Slater Foreign correspondent covering South Asia Email Bio Follow May 19 at 3:00 AM LUCKNOW, India — In their 31 years of marriage, Seema and Sanjive Khanna have fought many times, the way couples do, over the house or the children or their finances.
“People had different opinions earlier as well, but the atmosphere was never so hostile,” said Niti Saxena, 47, a women’s rights activist in Lucknow. “This is not healthy.” Research confirms that Indian politics is growing more polarized. A 2017 survey by the Pew Research Center found there was a growing partisan gap between supporters of the BJP and the opposition India National Congress party when it came to their views of Modi.
“You know that quote about not being able to fool all the people, all the time? Modi has proved it wrong,” Sanjive said. At a recent wedding, Sanjive described being outnumbered by Modi supporters in the family. “I consciously chose to sit with the few who shared my beliefs,” he said. “I didn’t want the occasion to turn ugly.”
Russian. Russian style. They created it.
nytimes BBCIndia will ask these media houses to prove how has India turned into a dictatorship? Unless you've well-substantiated information you've no right to write such nuisance in the name of freedom of speech! Stop peddling baseless allegations as news!
Khanna's domestic dispute becomes international thanks to the Washington Post's Indian bureau chief...can't think of a more stupid way to present a view...and whats more,the Khannas have given a wonderful 'argumentive pose' for the article...
Says who
Fake news!
Keep talking ...please come back in 2024....we will wait for ur precious comments then also...
In India, anti muslims drive has been served as most delicious dish to majority community. It suppresses all failures of governance.
It is never the left wing identity politics, it is always the right wing with WP.
So many butthurt Indians. Your lack of couterargument is *totally* making India look good
I would argue that this happened in reverse
WaPo getting their treat after writing this sh*t
We Indians will be more worried the day you folks start praising Modi. Kindly don't just stop.
HORRORS will now unleash on minorities in India. From nethanyahu 2 modi’s victory will not leave trump behind as he’s is d head of all DEVILS. Election in USA will favour TRUMP without a doubt. This will certainly b like predators waiting prey 4 d opportunity 2 make a big kill.
Another trash article from a dialing media outlet. They don’t get the people’s pulse anywhere. In india , the swing in favour of one government is massive. So it’s not a divide like in the US. No wonder your ratings are a flop.
You can’t see india from American eyes. No polarization here, just a corrupt rotten opposition struggling with the public’s demand for transformation. The Indian public has shown a great deal of intelligence in recognizing the true genius of narendramodi while it eludes you.
Your paper is a rag.
TajinderBagga send some burnol printed T shirts to Washington Post jurno also
globalization, cultural, and economic conflict is at the heart of the division all over the world.
There's no 'bigger political division' than partition! Not everything is new or the result of the United States.
US style polarization huh? Want to see who’s at the center of it in my country? Go look in the mirror imbecile! fakenews leftistpropaganda
Trump rallies are fun. The Democrats have to practice division all by their little selves.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... Best is he attempted to make such 'Cleaner India' which he succeeded too in this short period! Nobody gave any shit before that.. Prime Minister Modi is still in power even after losing the air war with Pakistan? Amazing. He must have old friends in power that are as old as India’s warplanes. Extraordinarily idiotic reporting even by standards. 'Many people in north and south India told Reuters that a lack of toilets near fields where farmers spend their day' Somebody traveling in the wilderness would defecate in the open if nature calls.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... 'may be more' speculation disguised as news Cleaner India has to be clean in mind and thoughts too If it had not been for Modi, nobody would have attention to this issue. Which reporter was writing about it in 2014? There are still areas of improvement and let Modi focus on them in his 2nd term.

Indian Election Exit Polls Suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi Could Stay in PowerIndian exit polls suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nationalist leader who has dominated Indian politics since he swept into power in 2014, could get another five years leading the world’s largest democracy. They dip their finger in ink so they can’t double vote Put the finger Inside your vagina Don't spread this news. Most news channels have been sold to the ruling party since it came to power. These channels often predict wrong. They have lost all the credibility. They are misguiding the masses. There will be coalition govt.

India’s lower-caste Dalits, who helped elect Modi, now threaten to oust himDalit voters say Modi has failed to keep his economic pledges, while others point to growing caste-based violence and a perception that Modi’s government has diluted some legal protections for Dalits. Factually incorrect on all counts! More lies from the American media. Your interviews are selective, and you have no data to back up your claims. There are so many Dalits and others who love Modi. Why didn't you vote for them? This reads like a press release from Congress party and Western NGO system. You totally ignore the fact that Modi himself comes from a so-called 'lower' caste. He is loved by all groups of Indians, while the elites of India love the corrupt Congress party. BJP is for the development of the masses, and of all backgrounds. Get your facts straight.
