Since Narendra Modi was first elected Prime Minister, in 2014, he has been recasting the story of India, from that of a secular democracy to that of a Hindu nation that dominates its minorities—especially the country’s 200 million Muslims. Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2002, when a series of violent Muslim-Hindu riots broke out, leaving as many as 2,000 people dead and nearly 150,000 displaced. “No sectarian riot ever happens in India unless the government wants it to,” a former senior federal official said. “This was a state-sponsored massacre.” At the link in our bio, Dexter Filkins reports on how the riots inflamed sectarian violence and rhetoric in India—and laid the groundwork for Modi’s rise to national power.
