Amazon and Walmart\u2019s<\/span> problems in India<\/a> look set to continue after Narendra Modi, the biggest force to embrace the country\u2019s politics in decades, led his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party to a historic landslide re-election on Thursday, reaffirming his popularity in the eyes of the world\u2019s largest democracy.<\/p>\n

The re-election, which gives Modi\u2019s government another five years in power, will in many ways chart the path of India\u2019s burgeoning startup ecosystem, as well as the local play of Silicon Valley companies that have grown increasingly wary of recent policy changes.<\/p>\n

At stake is also the future of India\u2019s internet, the second largest in the world. With more than 550 million internet users, the nation has emerged as one of the last great growth markets for Silicon Valley companies. Google, <\/a> Facebook, and Amazon <\/a> count India as one of their largest and fastest growing markets. And until late 2016, they enjoyed great dynamics with the Indian government.<\/p>\n

But in recent years, New Delhi has ordered more internet shutdowns<\/a> than ever before and puzzled many over crackdowns on sometimes legitimate websites<\/a>. To top that, the government recently proposed a law<\/a> that would require any intermediary \u2014 telecom operators, messaging apps, and social media services among others \u2014 with more than 5 million users to introduce a number of changes to how they operate in the nation. More on this shortly.<\/p>\n

Growing tension<\/h2>\n
