Terrorism/insurgency explosion incidents

Modi ahead

No comparable cross-country series exists for this measure, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures

Terrorism/insurgency explosion incidents, in incidents. A falling number is an improvement. Reported by South Asia Terrorism Portal.

It stood at 3425 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 1337 by 2024 — a fall of 61%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.

No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

Year by year

incidents · annual series, 2004–2024. Bars from 2014 in orange. No counterfactual is estimated — no comparator country reports an equivalent series.

Why no counterfactual

India-only. SATP counts explosion incidents across all theatres; no comparator country publishes an equivalent series, so no counterfactual can be estimated.

Windows here are 2004–2014 and 2015–2024, so the two decades do not overlap — unlike the other nine parameters, whose official comparison counts 2014 in both. Broader than urban bombings: includes IED attacks by Maoist/LWE groups, J&K militancy, Northeast insurgencies and the rest of India.

The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
