Arundhati Roy on Modi's New India

Available for over a year

Despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise of economic reforms, one of India's most celebrated authors sees a bleak future for the the very poor in the country. Arundhati Roy says she believes India's entrenched caste system means that even as the economy grows, the most socially and economically disadvantaged will fail to thrive. And a leading Indian economist and close associate of the Modi government tells us how he thinks growth can be achieved and why that will have advantages for all.
