Such a delight to speak with Rupesh Patel at TWO NOBODYS a few weeks ago to understand the nature of democratic decline in India. A snippet of our conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=kPxaSg…

Looking forward to digging into this book!

Join us tomorrow to discuss Pakistan's extraordinary election results!

Want to make sense of today's election in #Pakistan ? Join us Monday evening.

Today's election in #Pakistan is most overtly rigged I've seen. Imagine coming to power in a time when Pakistanis feel less safe, prosperous and optimistic than they have in decades--and where the election is also seen as illegitimate. news.gallup.com/poll/609752/pa…

India's Democracy Debate made it's way to the pages of the Journal of Democracy. We invited all five essayists to Mojo Story for a riveting debate. With Maya Tudor @Rahul_TVerma @Tripurdaman , Sumit Ganguly & Vineeta Yadav. Full show here youtube.com/watch?v=CtHAV2…

Huge thanks barkha dutt for hosting Rahul Verma Sumit Ganguly Tripurdaman Singh Vineeta Yadav and myself for a high-quality debate on the state of Indian democracy: youtube.com/watch?v=CtHAV2…

Compiled this as an informative, educational piece for American friends on the stakes involved in Biden-Modi. Contains excerpts of brilliant recent articles by Maya Jasanoff, Edward Luce, Sheena Sood, PhD, shraddha|श्रद्धा, Maya Tudor (for Journal of Democracy).

India’s government maintains the trappings of democracy but increasingly harasses the opposition, attacks minorities, and stifles dissent. It can still reverse course, but the damage is mounting.
