Narendra Modi’s landslide reelection is good news for America. It means that India will continue its slow but significant movement towards economic modernity and will support the evolving architecture of U.S. global order.

While the final results aren’t yet in, it’s clear that Modi has won big. The prime minister’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is likely to secure a majority of around 300 seats in the 543-seat Lok Sabha Parliament, beating out its closest rival, the Indian National Congress, by a ratio of 6 to 1. That will enable Modi to advance his reforms over the resistance of the INC-led progressive alliance and consolidate India’s footprint as a major global power.
