India is facing its biggest wave of protest in more than a decade. More than 130 million names have been struck off draft voter rolls in a process critics call "vote theft". Young Indians, led by the satirical Cockroach Janta Party, have taken to the streets, joined by opposition parties. The government's answer: a locked-down capital, internet blackouts and thousands of arrests.
In this two-part deep dive, journalist Fatima Khan reports from the streets of Delhi. She explains what’s driving India’s youth to the streets, what they face when they get there– and what it means for Narendra Modi's grip on power. And writer Nabiya Khan asks why so many young Muslims stayed home, and whether a movement against Modi can win without naming Hindu nationalism as a problem.
The show is presented by Mathilda Mallinson.
