Journalist and essayist Jaya Sundaresh (@shutupjaya) joins us to discuss India's leader Narendra Modi. What's behind Modi's popularity and why is he so good at playing Trump's ego? Tulsi's warm-welcome to Modi. The media environment in Modi's India. The atrocities at Gujarat and Modi's role. Modi's corporatism and "anti-corruption" politics. The abscence of class politics in India. The western business press's pro-Modi slant.

Check out Jaya's piece on Modi in Current Affairs, "'MODI-MANIA' COMES TO TEXAS."

I love your commentary and experience, watching the MR about Ben Shapiro threatening to pick up arms, and just wanted you to know it would be super cool of you or Sam gave a shout out to the SRA, Socialist Rifle Association.

You'd be more powerful throwing roses at the fascists rather than bullets. Call me an idealist.

Michael the Indian economy is tanking. The alternative political formation consists of many social justice political parties that hold some descent clout(most importantly they represent vast swaths of "lower" caste people). Try interviewing a Marxist leader called Sitaram Yechury.

Modi is a good hype man, I'll give him credit for that.
