HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Swapan Dasgupta, Indian
journalist, writer and now member of the country's upper
parliamentary chamber. One of the world’s biggest countries has a
leader who polarises opinion, stokes nationalist sentiment, has a
controversial past, and a predilection for Twitter. I'm thinking
of course of India's prime minister Narendra Modi, but are there
any parallels to be drawn with America's current president? Does
this conservative ally of India's prime minister see any dangers
in Mr Modi's populism?
