Hafsa Kanjwal, Suchitra Vijayan, and Azad Essa speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. Under Narendra Modi, India has embarked on a project to become an authoritarian Hindu State, building an arsenal of weapons, evoking religious nationalism, dismantling civil society and using the Israeli model to enable settler-colonialism in Kashmir. This panel, made up of authors Hafsa Kanjwal, Suchitra Vijayan and Azad Essa, will discuss the implications of India's shift toward authoritarianism and why it continues to get a pass among the left in the US.
