标题:Why caste still matters in Indian politics

Narendra Modi must rethink his approach to Hinduism’s social hierarchy

正文：Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, made several costly miscalculations in this year’s general election. He overestimated his own popularity. He underestimated the extent of economic angst, especially about underemployment and inflation. And he relied excessively on Hindu nationalism to mobilise voters from the nation’s religious majority. But perhaps his most telling error was to mishandle what is still the most important fault line in Indian society: caste.

知识点：overestimate v. /ˌoʊvərˈestɪmeɪt/ to estimate sth to be larger, better, more important, etc. than it really is⾼估 • They overestimated his ability when they promoted him.他们提拔他的时候⾼估了他的能⼒。 • The importance of these findings cannot be overestimated (= is very great) .这些发现的重要性是⽆法充分估量的。
