A recent Pew Research Center survey conducted from January to April 2025 across 24 countries found that global views of India are slightly more positive than negative. The median favorability is 47%, with 38% holding an unfavorable view and 13% offering no opinion. Key findings: Most favorable views: Kenya, the United Kingdom, and Israel, where six-in-ten or more have a positive opinion of India. Least favorable views : Turkey and Australia, where over half express negative views. Divided or neutral: In countries like the U.S. and South Korea, opinions are roughly split. Recent shifts : Favorability has increased notably in South Africa, France, and Germany, but declined in South Korea and Israel. Demographic differences: In about half the countries, men are more favorable toward India than women. Younger adults in some countries (like the UK and Japan) are more positive, while in the U.S. and Australia, older adults hold more favorable views. Political ideology also plays a role, with patterns varying by country. The survey included nearly 25,000 adults, using a mix of phone, face-to-face, and online methods, and was conducted prior to several major events affecting India’s international relations. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/08/13/how-people-in-24-countries-view-india/
