Challenging the Modi spin on India | with Aisik Saha

Aishik Saha is an activist with the All India Students’ Association and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation. He is also a researcher on labour and the digital economy.

In this interview with Green Left's Peter Boyle, he discusses Indian PM Narendra Modi's doubling down on his Hindu nationalist hate campaigns despite his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) losing ground in the last elections. He also discusses the role of the left in alliances to resist "BJP fascism", the intersection of class and caste, the movements against sexual assault and misogyny and Modi's influence on the Indian diaspora.
