'Trump - Modi! Brother - Brother!' Eviane Leidig on Narendra Modi and the BJP's Evolving Relationship with the Global Right

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi is incredibly popular within India's diaspora. But how can one support tolerance and immigration within the context of the US or UK, and at the same time support the bigotry and Islamophobia of Modi's BJP Party in India?To explore this paradox I spoke w. Eviane Leidig, a researcher at The Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX). We discuss the rise of the BJP, its growing ties with other global far-right leaders like Trump and Boris Johnson, and how industries like Silicon Valley are crucial to spreading its toxic message of neoliberalism and islamophobia.For more on these subjects, I highly recommend checking out Eviane's website: https://www.evianeleidig.com/Lastly, for four more sources, I highly recommend Neha Dixit for understanding the scope of violence currently being unleashed by the BJP in IndiaDr. Aihwa Ong for her examinations of how neoliberalism affects immigration policies. Soumya Shankar. (Her work at The Intercept) is also outstanding.Dr. Kecheng Fang on the rise of Ethnosupremacy & Right Wing Economics in China.Beats by Urban Nerd Beats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa5VSPk6d-k
