Presentation
Narendra Modi's India, national populism and ethnic democracy
Hinduism today represents 80% of the total population of this huge country but throughout its history religious minorities have continuously shaped its identity and culture. Hindu nationalists tend to tip India into a new type of regime, ethnic democracy. Electoral successes of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister since 2014, and the recent decisions taken by his national populist government raise fears for the worst for the future of India.
Come and meet Christophe Jaffrelot, Research Director at CERI-Sciences Po/CNRS, author of numerous books and essays on India and Pakistan and certainly one of the finest analysts of India of the 21st century.
