You mean कौनसे perhaps.
Good question!
Not easy to translate this.
You have to translate this indirectly.
My suggestion:
In an ordered list of Indian Prime Ministers, what position does Narendra Mody occupy?
Can others suggest something better?

MemberIn a spoken English book published from here I found them phrased it as…
“What is the ordinal number of Modi among the Prime Ministers of of India”
In another Language Forum, where a lot of foreigners including Native English Speakers(NES) participate, opined that there is no such Question Word is existing in English. Hence, they don’t ask like that either!

But I guess one can ask it like….
Which of the Indian Prime Ministers is Modi, (while) considering them in chronological order?
(Your opinion highly appreciated)
