NEW DELHI: A Pew survey published weeks ahead of general elections showed that most Indians are happy with the direction of the country and economic prospects. However, the level of satisfaction has declined over time, the report said.
More than three-quarters of those polled said lack of employment opportunities is India’s biggest problem. The survey found out that the problem had not changed through most of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure.
The survey said concerns about terrorism and Pakistan loomed large.
Likewise, three-quarters of Indian citizens consider Pakistan a threat while 59 percent said terrorism had become worse.
54 percent people expressed satisfaction with the way democracy is working in the country, the survey found.
A total of 2,521 people were approached for their views in the survey run from May 23 to July 23, 2018. (Agencies)
