Peak Hindutva? w/ Radhika Desai

On January 22nd the new Ram temple in Uttar Pradesh was consecrated
in a ceremony led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event
kicked off Modi's election campaign that was widely expected to
lead to a landslide for Modi and the BJP. Instead, the Hindu
nationalist party lost 63 seats and the opposition coalition led by
congress made significant gains. In today's episode I spoke with
Radhika Desai about the causes of the electoral upset, the image
and reality of the Indian economy and what the election results
announced in June might mean for Indian Muslims.
