In a stunning upset, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) failed to secure a majority in India’s national elections, forcing Modi to seek coalition partners to stay in power for the first time in a decade.
Suchitra Vijayan, author of “Midnight’s Borders: A People’s History of Modern India” and founder of The Polis Project, explains that the results signal a growing rejection of the BJP’s far-right, Hindu nationalist politics.
Additionally, Vijayan discusses how, under Modi, the relationship between Israel and India has strengthened, with the Indian government looking to implement the “Israel model” in Kashmir.
