Saffron Dawn: Modi’s BJP and Hindutva Politics

Join Beyond the Indus host Tushar Shetty in the lead up to the Great Indian Election as we explore Narendra Modi’s BJP, and what made it the dominant force in Indian politics.

We sit down with Akhilesh Pillalamari and Ashutosh Varshney, who help break down the politics of Hindutva and its impact on Indian society, culture and law, and chart the BJP’s rise from a marginal player in Indian politics to the political behemoth it is today. We also explore Modi’s political history, his campaign strategy, and his prospects in the 2024 general election.
