Summary
Speculative Editorial Cover Illustration for Wired based on their article "The ‘Narendra Modi is on a quest to regain his aura- What India’s government learnt from recent student protests- Two years ago the Indian electorate handed a shock result to Narendra Modi. His Bharatiya Janata Party (bjp) had predicted a supermajority. Voters deprived it even of a simple majority and forced it into a coalition. Mr Modi’s “aura of invincibility” had been lost, crowed commentators. Yet the party soon earned it back by flattening rivals in most state elections that followed."
