Episode #1.2
Here BBC examines the track record of Narendra Modi's government following his re-election in 2019. A series of controversial policies - the removal of Kashmir's special status guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian constitution and a citizenship law that many said treated Muslims unfairly - has been accompanied by reports of violent attacks on Muslims by Hindus. Modi and his government reject any suggestion that their policies reflect any prejudice towards Muslims, but these policies have been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations such as Amnesty International. That organisation has now closed its offices in Delhi following the freezing of its bank accounts in connection with an investigation into financial irregularities, according to the Indian government, a charge rejected by Amnesty.
