My guest today is academic Salvatores Babones author of new book "Dharma Democracy: How India Built The Third World's First Democracy".

Today we discuss:

• The extent to which Narendra Modi and the BJP should be part of the global "new" right
• Is the BJP a nationalist party and how it differs from the traditionally dominant Indian National Congress
• How minorities such as Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and others are treated by the BJP
• How western democracies should view modern India and the BJP and whether there are legitimate concerns regarding its power and influence

And much, much more
