The Complex Relationship Between Joe Biden and Narendra Modi.
TL;DR
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has systematically undermined the core institutions of Indian democracy since taking office in 2014, according to an opinion piece in Vox. Modi's anti-democratic behavior has accelerated over time, with his government taking over independent television stations, creating an official panel to take down social media posts critical of the government, and sending tax officials to raid the BBC's offices in New Delhi and Mumbai. The BJP is the electoral offshoot of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a radical Hindu nationalist organization to which Modi has belonged since he was 8 years old.
