  • Summary

  • India's recent elections saw 640 million voters and a mixed outcome. Prime Minister Modi's BJP won a third term but lost its majority, needing coalition partners. Meanwhile, the political opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, gained strength. Did Modi win or lose? Did voters reject his Hindu nationalism? What was this election really about? It’s India, so definitive answers are elusive. But our guest today on New Thinking for a New World, can surely point us in the right direction. Vishakha Desai is a widely respected Asian scholar focused on art, culture, policy, and women's rights. Listen as she unpacks the election and its consequences — and then tell us what you think.
