          In Britain, where I’m based, everyone is talking about the meteoric rise of the nationalist populist Reform U.K. party. In local elections across England last week, Reform obliterated the Labour Party and the Conservatives, two parties that have governed Britain for decades. We will keep a close eye on what it all means for Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Can he survive this?

         <span>
          If you widen the lens, though, this election looks like part of a much broader global trend. Nationalist populists are on the march from the Americas to Europe to Asia, where the world’s largest democracy recently held state elections. The Hindu nationalist party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India won a major opposition stronghold for the first time, further consolidating its power. Today, my colleague Alex Travelli, one of our India correspondents, writes about how India now risks turning into a de facto single-party state.

          When Narendra Modi first campaigned to lead India more than a decade ago, he vowed not to just defeat the main opposing national party, but to eliminate it entirely. He pretty much succeeded.

          Congress, the founding party of independent India and the country’s only national opposition party, barely exists as a governing force. It holds fewer than 100 seats in the country’s 543-member Parliament; it controls only four out of India’s 28 states.

          That has left the country’s regional parties and their leaders as the most important counterweight to Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party and its Hindu nationalist agenda.

          But over the past two years, the B.J.P. has been laser-focused on winning state elections across the country. It has notched victory after victory — and in doing so, has steadily chipped away at this source of opposition, too.

          Then, last week, the B.J.P. won legislative elections in West Bengal, one of the country’s most populous states and an opposition stronghold it had never come close to ruling. Its win ended 15 years of rule by Mamata Banerjee, one of Modi’s most outspoken critics.

          How has the B.J.P. pulled this off? Some of it is local circumstances. In West Bengal, for instance, voters told us they were sick of a sluggish economy and the state’s corruption.

          But many of the B.J.P.’s opponents have also cried foul. In Delhi, the former chief minister and his lieutenants were repeatedly raided and arrested by federal police on charges that never resulted in conviction. Modi, they argue, was abusing the tools of government to harass them.

          It’s not clear when, or if, Modi, will face any real political competition again. The next time India elects a new Parliament, in 2029, Modi will be 78. No one knows whether he will represent his party then or who might replace him, or what sort of India he will leave behind when he finally goes.

          Nowadays, however, India’s surviving smaller parties are dwindling. Across the country, they’re being replaced by an electoral juggernaut focused on building an orthodox Hindu nation, led by an organization that defines India in terms of a cultural majority.

          It’s heating up in South and Southeast Asia, with temperatures in April climbing beyond 37 degrees Celsius in some areas. This heat wave has collided with the energy crunch linked to the war in Iran. As a result, air conditioning has become restricted or increasingly unaffordable.

          Ernesto Soriano started learning how to cut ham nearly 40 years ago as a 15-year-old high school dropout in Madrid. Now, he is the top-ranked cutter for Joselito, one of Spain’s oldest and arguably most prestigious producers of jamón ibérico.

          It’s a job that has grown in prominence. In recent years, jamón-cutting stations have become a fixture at high-society events. These days, a wedding is judged, Soriano said only half-jokingly, less by the sanctity of the union than by the state of the ham.

          is a riff on the classic Russian-American beef, mushroom and sour-cream stew. In Brazil, it’s often made with a tomato base and heavy cream instead of sour cream.
