But somehow Modi has a high approval rating,

Because 50%+ of India that votes benefits from it...

I think we're just using different definitions of "hold things together"

I thought Modi's policies were generally bad for the populace at large. I haven't been tracking it very well though, so I could be mistaken.

Trump's policies tend to be bad for the population at large (basically triggered the massive inflation we had), and so are Putin's (triggered a ton of sanctions w/ his stupid war), so if his policies are anything like either of those two, then I would assume they'd be bad for average Indians.

But it gets worse the further down the ladder you go.

trump will be bad for his white voters, but he'll treat the people they view as below them even worse

Some people compare themselves to others to judge their worth, so they'll settle for less if others get nothing.
