India: The Modi Question
Narendra Modi is the leader of the world's largest democracy, a man who has been elected twice as India's prime minister and is widely seen as the most powerful politician of his generation. Seen by the west as an important bulwark against Chinese domination of Asia, he has been courted as a key ally by both the US and the UK. Yet Narendra Modi's premiership has been dogged by persistent allegations about the attitude of his government towards India's Muslim population. This series investigates the truth behind these allegations and examines Modi's backstory to explore other questions about his politics when it comes to India's largest religious minority.
