There are growing concerns that India, the world’s most populous
democracy is in the grip of a divisive brand of populism. The
ruling BJP Hindu nationalist party has been accused by the
country’s 180million plus Muslims of treating them as second
class citizens. India may be one of the most dangerous countries

Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, who is at the centre of many of
these storms. Is India facing its darkest hour since
