Скачать или смотреть What Is Modi's Hindu Nationalist Agenda For India?

India today is a vastly different country than it was just ten years ago. Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took power in 2014, it has become the world’s fifth-largest economy, tens of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, and it has become a critical U.S. partner in its strategy to counter China. At the same time, Modi has overseen a crackdown on criticism, including from the press, academics, and opposition politicians. He has also pursued legislation that makes it harder for Muslims to participate in India’s democracy.

Experts say this push toward Hindu nationalism is just part of Modi’s mission to remake India. But will the rise of nationalist forces in the world’s most populous country affect its warming ties with the United States?
