Ep.3 Modi’s Hindutva - a Living Nightmare for Muslims with Fadl Hejazi

This week I speak to Fadl Hejazi, an India based academic in Islamic sciences, currently pursuing his doctoral studies in the energy economies of the Arab world. Fadl has extensively travelled across India and he is also a regular visitor to Kashmir.

It has been two weeks since the Indian government’s actions in Kashmir, the repealing of Article 370. We explored the doctrine that underpins Modi’s India, known as Hindutva, and its impact upon the countries’ Muslims. It is oft-forgotten that after partition in 1947, Pakistan became home to just a portion of India’s Muslims. Those that were left behind have been subject to state and structural disadvantage. Never more so than under the Hindu nationalism of Modi’s tenure.

I have also written a detailed article about the whole situation, which you can read here.
