The world's biggest-ever election took place in India from April 19 to June 1, with Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retaining power amidst a maelstrom of controversies including jailing and repression of political opponents and ramping up racism and bigotry against Muslims. 

Isaac Nellist and Chloe DS spoke to Clifton D'Rozario, a leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, about the election results, what opportunities they present for people's movements and the how the historical connection between Hindutva and Zionism has been brought to the forefront as Modi lends support to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

D'Rozario is a featured speaker at Ecosocialism 2024 and will be speaking on the panel: "From Trump to Netanyahu, Modi to Milei — Understanding the rise of the global far right".
