India, as a nation ruled by Hindu majority, saw the rise of Narendra modi, a politician commonly known for its strategies to appeal to the Hindutva India.

During his attempts to appeal into the Hindu majority, Narendra Modi commonly applied narratives that divide the majority and the Muslim minority, much to the loss of the minority Muslim community caused by constant antagonization and demonization commonly found within Modi’s political practices. The implication of such strategies however, are not limited to muslims within India, but also saw the implications of Indian governments attempts to appeal into the broader Hindu narrative seeping into Indian foreign policies and stances, most commonly affecting its closest Muslim neighbor, Pakistan. This paper then, aims to research the populist politics applied by Modi during his reigns in India, and how it affects the security of Pakistan utilizing a realist prespective.
