Abstract

Abstract While India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has become recognized as a populist radical right (PRR) party under the leadership of Narendra Modi, we do not know whether this PRR supply is matched yet by PRR attitudes among its supporters. Using an original survey, we therefore investigate: Do BJP supporters display PRR attitudes? We find that those who feel close to the BJP have stronger populist and nativist attitudes than other Indian citizens. However, authoritarianism is not a distinguishing feature of BJP supporters. We argue that the similarities between the drivers of support for European PRR parties and for the BJP reinforce the idea that radical right populism is a coherent global phenomenon both in terms of supply and demand. Finally, we discuss how our study shows that party support in India is more ideologically rooted than has previously been thought.

印度人民党的支持者：明显的民粹主义者和本土主义者

虽然印度人民党(Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP)在纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)的领导下已成为公认的民粹主义激进右翼(PRR)政党，但我们不知道这种PRR供应是否与其支持者的PRR态度相匹配。因此，使用原始调查，我们调查:人民党支持者是否表现出PRR态度?我们发现，那些与人民党关系密切的人比其他印度公民有更强烈的民粹主义和本土主义态度。然而，威权主义并不是人民党支持者的显著特征。我们认为，支持欧洲PRR政党和人民党的驱动因素之间的相似性强化了激进右翼民粹主义在供给和需求方面都是一个连贯的全球现象的观点。最后，我们讨论了我们的研究如何表明，印度的政党支持比以前认为的更根植于意识形态。
