LUMS Live Session 89: Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy
This talk focuses on Dr. Christophe Jaffrelot’s recent book Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy. Drawing on original interviews conducted across India, Dr. Jaffrelot explains how Modi’s government has moved India toward a new form of democracy that has centralized power at the expense of federalism and undermined institutions that were part of the checks and balances, including India’s Supreme Court.
Hosted in collaboration with the Mahbub ul Haq Research Centre as part of their Mahbub ul Haq Distinguished Lectures 2021, the session was moderated by Dr. Anuradha Joshi and Dr. Asma Faiz.
