"New Delhi: Almost 70% of Indians feel that India’s influence in the world is getting stronger, a survey by the think tank Pew Research Center has found.

As for the rest of the world, a median of 46% of residents in 23 countries surveyed by Pew said that they had a favourable view of India. On the other hand, medians of 34% and 16% had unfavourable and no views on India respectively.

Data from a survey Pew conducted in 19 countries last year says that a median of 28% of people said that India’s influence in the world was getting stronger.

“In those 19 countries, respondents were most inclined to say that India’s influence had not changed much in recent years (48% median), but only 19% of Indians agree with this view,” Pew said in its latest report."

The question one has to ask is:
Why Pew selected and published results from these 19 countries and not other countries?
Why not G20 countries? Results from six of them were not published.
No data from Brics nations, why?

If G20 and Brics are not natural groups, what make the 19 a natural group for polling?
