Journalist and essayist Jaya Sundaresh (@shutupjaya) joins us to discuss India's leader Narendra Modi. What's behind Modi's popularity and why is he so good at playing Trump's ego? Tulsi's warm-welcome to Modi. The media environment in Modi's India. The atrocities at Gujarat and Modi's role. Modi's corporatism and "anti-corruption" politics. The abscence of class politics in India. The western business press's pro-Modi slant.
Check out Jaya's piece on Modi in Current Affairs, "'MODI-MANIA' COMES TO TEXAS."
