Originally recorded in early April, Ryan is joined by activist academics Sam Agarwal and Smriti Upadhyay to discuss the historic farmers protests in India and the authoritarian government led by Narendra Modi. From overseeing anti-Muslim pogroms as the governor of Gujarat State in 2002 to becoming the country's Prime Minister in 2014, Modi is often labeled the Donald Trump of India. But the movement behind him has deep organizational roots and a complex network of civil society organizations, corporate financiers and social media giants aiding and abetting his regime. While the episode was recorded before the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in India, it provides some of the context which might help explain this terrifying moment.
