In the early Nineties, India began a gradual withdrawal from this path. But it was only in 2019, with Narendra Modi''s second successive win in the general elections, that this philosophy is finally being replaced by a worldview that acknowledges India as an ancient civilization.
For the better part of seven decades after independence, the Nehruvian idea of India held sway in India''s polity, even if it was not always in consonance with the views of Jawaharlal Nehru himself. Three key features constituted the crux of the Nehruvian way: socialism, which in practice devolved to corruption and stagnation; secularism, which boxed citizens into group membership and diluted individual identity; and non-alignment, which effectively placed India in the Communist camp.
