Across the most recent 20 stories covering Narendra Modi — 75% positive, 5% negative, 20% neutral sentiment, averaging 6.7/10 impact.
This entity profile aggregates every story where the entity meets our minimum relevance threshold before it is linked here — a story naming this entity only in passing, as competitive context for an unrelated subject, does not qualify. That threshold exists because earlier testing surfaced entity pages cluttered with tangential mentions: a story about two unrelated companies merging could otherwise populate a third company's page simply because it was named once for comparison, with no real event of its own. The timeline below reflects genuine milestones and developments specific to this entity, cross-referenced against the same source-verification standard applied to every story on this site. Sentiment measures the directional read of each development for this entity specifically, not the overall tone of the reporting, and impact weights how consequential a development is rather than how widely it was syndicated across outlets.
Figures are computed live from our source-verified story record — see our methodology for how impact and sentiment are derived. See something wrong on this page? Report a data issue.
