  • Jacobin Radio: Achin Vanaik on Modi's India
    Suzi continues to look at the spectacular global movements that have rocked the world in 2019. The mass protests are not dying out and as the year comes to an end, they are gathering force, as we see in India — with huge demonstrations challenging Narendra Modi’s rule. The government’s repressive response has only added fuel to the protests and strikes. Achin Vanaik (https://www.versobooks.com/authors/2174-achin-vanaik), scholar-activist in Delhi, gives us the big picture of Modi’s far-right government and Hindutva policies that have sparked massive protest, especially the new Citizen Amendment Act which denies citizenship based on religion, excluding and further marginalizing the country’s 200 million Muslims.
