Truth vs Hype

Moments after his shock win, Donald Trump struck a reconciliatory note saying he will heal the wounds of a divided country. This week, in a special report from New York we examine whether his reinvention is truth or hype, and if America can recover from the impact of a corrosive election.

At first it seemed like a case of police victory: 8 men, members of the banned outfit SIMI break out of a heavily guarded jail in Bhopal. But then, barely a few hours later, they are killed in an encounter. But a trove of material has blown holes in the official version of the jailbreak and the encounter. With exclusive interviews, eyewitness accounts and police records, we have pieced together a detailed account of one of the most controversial episode of recent times.

The shock removal of Tata Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry has set off a no-holds barred skirmish within one of India's most respected corporates.

This week we travel to America for a ringside view of one of the most controversial, self-destructive political campaigns the world has seen. We go head to head with Donald Trump himself, we interview key Republican party officials both for and against him, and we travel to the ground, to witness an anarchic yet aggressive election campaign, one that is dividing America.

In the second of our two-part series on the funding and impact in India of 'Salafism' or 'Wahhabism' - a puritanical strand of Islam widely practised in Saudi Arabia, but also practised increasingly in other parts of the world - we examine how the arrests made by the National Investigation Agency in ISIS-connected cases link to Salafism.

All over the world, governments are noting with concern the rise of a puritanical Saudi-style Islam, known interchangeably as 'Wahhabism' or 'Salafism'. But in India, while such statements are routinely made about 'Saudi-funded madrassas', they are not backed up with facts. Over the course of a month, we set out to investigate how 'Salafism' in India has grown, what are its known (and unknown) sources of funds, and what dangers it poses to a secular, diverse society. Watch the first part of our two-part investigation this week.

This week on Truth vs Hype, we test these claims on the ground: will the laws make prohibition a success and bring social benefits, or will it trigger criminality and corruption, without the promised gains?
