The world’s biggest democracy is about to become a one-party state

India's ruling BJP has consolidated power to historic levels after opposition leaders Mamata Banerjee and M.K. Stalin lost state elections this week. The party now controls 21 of India's states while the once-dominant Congress party holds only four. Modi's Hindu nationalist agenda faces virtually no political opposition, marking India's shift toward single-party dominance since the 1970s Emergency.
