India might love its soft power, but Indians favour getting tough with the world. A majority (62 per cent) Indians believe using overwhelming military force is the best way to defeat terrorism, while a similar number of Indians (63%) want to increase defense spending.

The annual Pew Research Center's survey of the state of the nation found two-thirds of the Indian public satisfied with the direction of the country and eight-in-ten think the economy is doing well. Prime minister Narendra Modi's favourable rating remains high, at 81 per cent, even though its down from 87 per cent in 2015.
