Shekhar Gupta is a sort of self-appointed drumbeater for the Modi regime - wearing a veil of objective impartiality, though. Doubtless, he's a veteran and, of course, knowledgeable and wise too.
This talk deals with national politics, post the results of latest round of state polls. In a way, acknowledges that the continued hold of the BJP over the Union Government is going to (radically) refashion "India". But, in too hushed a tone and refuses to draw the necessary corollaries; in a certain way, still pretends that the rules of the game would remain much the same - hence, the rather passionate engagement with the speculation as regards the prospects of the AAP. One'd rather imagine,, if the BJP is back in 2024 - which is now looking *almost* inevitable, "India" would change a hell lot and, apart from other things, it's going to become *effectively*, though not *formally*, a one-party state - broadly following the model of Russia under Putin. Quite likely, still, not China under Xi. Of course, the "minorities" are and would be in the crosshairs, but, it'd be far more than that. (As we're so very accustomed to crying wolf at the drop of a hat, we simply miss the smell of the tiger actually closing in.) The point, at the moment - when there's still some time left, is to do our utmost to block that from happening. Once that happens - once the tipping point is crossed, there'd be little room left.
