“…On the other hand, he is the multiepithet champion—the Stakhanovist, ubiquitous, proentrepreneurship, high‐tech, fashionable, folkloric, lion‐like, and cult‐like masculine ruler (Ruparelia, 2015; Visvanathan, 2020)—who flaunts his simple, devotional, and uncosmopolitan “Indianness” to national and international audiences (Biswas, 2010). Assuming a fatherly communication style, Narendra Modi seeks to appear as the symbol of the fearless (Modi, 2018) pater of the country, defending the masses (Chhibber & Verma, 2014) against the corrupted elites and their black money (Ghosh et al, 2017). He also portrays himself as the apolitical upholder of the guru‐shishya parampara (guru‐disciple tradition) as well as a friendly “uncle” who gives motivational advice to students ahead of their school examinations (Modi, 2018).…”

Minimal understandings of populism focus on measuring explicit stances of antielitism and people centrism. What remains poorly understood is the way less overt forms of populist rhetoric enable leaders to emulate the language of common citizens to achieve electoral success. This article suggests that the study of the populist discourse also requires taking into account their implicit occurrences, that is, those conveying connect, closeness, commonness, and similarity with ordinary people. Expressed through performances of “layman likeness,” they enable populist politicians to dissociate from traditional ruling elites while enabling people leaders' identifications. Using a novel 261‐million‐word dataset of Indian political discourses—including the speeches of 11 Prime Ministers—to proxy such identifications, we argue that populist leaders rely on a mimesis of the common people. Three core mimetic speech items are quantified: intimacy, disintermediation, and simplicity. We use a replicable corpus‐contextual multiword collocation technique to populate lexicons of pretested psychometric profiles as well as a threefold validation method. The analysis finds that current Prime Minister Narendra Modi communicates mimetic identification around his persona, indexing the linguistic markers of his stylistic, ideological, and institutional populist politics. We indicate that our context‐aware method could also be of use to study the cross‐regional variability of mimetic populism.
