Aakar Patel is a journalist, author and columnist who has edited both English and Gujarati newspapers. He is the author of Our Hindu Rashtra and *Price of the Modi Years*, and serves as Chair of Amnesty International India.
In this episode, Patel traces the political transformation of Gujarat and its influence on India, examining the rise of Narendra Modi, the BJP’s political model, communal politics and the changing role of institutions. He also discusses Modi’s leadership style, India’s foreign policy, China and Pakistan, nationalism, the idea of India as a “Vishwaguru,” and what the future of the BJP could look like after Modi. The conversation asks a larger question: *what has changed in India over the last decade, and where is the country headed next?*

This gentleman hasn't just made a statement—he has gifted an entirely new perspective to Gujarat: that progress isn't merely about personal prosperity, but also about having the conviction to stand for what is right.
Its incredible how India has undermined itself...
More power to you.
