Jinder knows his place, and he's extremely humble about it (this was captured in a WWE Network doc a few years ago). He knows where he sits in the card and his utilitarian role.
Part of me thinks Jinder got his WWE title reign because they needed a placeholder and he had paid his dues, with unwavering loyalty to the company and with the respect of his peers. He is a company man through and through and extremely dedicated to the craft.

IIRC correctly, it was two fold. First they rewarded him because he busted his ass coming back to the WWE and he got serious about the business.
Second the WWE was in the midst of a huge push into India and they thought putting the belt on Jinder would really help with that.
By all accounts he's pretty respected back stage, but yeah, he's not more then a midcarder who's had some high moments.
And how can you not love the nephew of the Great Gamma. Come on now.
