BBC News - HARDtalk, Swapan Dasgupta

Stephen Sackur meets member of India's upper parliamentary chamber, Swapan Dasgupta.

HARDtalk meets Swapan Dasgupta, Indian journalis and member of the country's upper parliamentary chamber. Does he see any dangers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's populism?

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Swapan Dasgupta, Indian journalist, writer and now member of the country's upper parliamentary chamber. One of the world's biggest countries has a leader who polarises opinion, stokes nationalist sentiment, has a controversial past, and a predilection for Twitter. I'm thinking of course of India's prime minister Narendra Modi, but are there any parallels to be drawn with America's current president? Does this conservative ally of India's prime minister see any dangers in Mr Modi's populism?
