The Modi Question – What’s New? by Dr. Habib Siddiqui
The recently released two-part TV documentary by BBC (The Modi Question)–based on thoroughly reported documents and interviews–is a reminder of the painful and harsh reality that marks the life of minority communities in Modi’s India. It takes the mask off the face of India as the ‘largest democracy’ wedded to secular ideals and offers a reality check to the world.The first part was released by the BBC on 17 January 2023, and the second part on 24 January 2023.
The first part covers Modi’s early political career and his role in the Gujarat massacre. It sought to answer the question of one of the three British nationals who survived the violence. What happened to his two relatives, and if they were killed, then why, and how? What kind of violence were they killed in? Who did it and why didn’t the government take effective steps to stop it? Was the violence spontaneous or was it planned?
The second part examines the activities of Modi’s administration following his re-election in 2019. It covers a series of controversial anti-Muslim policies, including the revocation of Kashmir’s autonomy and a new citizenship law. It also depicts the violent response to protests against the new laws, and the aftermath of the 2020 Delhi riots.
