The UK is ‘wilfully turning a blind eye’ to Narendra Modi’s ‘brutal and authoritarian Hindu Right regime’.

On 13 and 14 November 2015 the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, will be visiting the UK.

His visit is significant for a number of reasons, but most of all because it marks the rehabilitation of Modi on the world stage.

The UK and other western powers who were once exercised by his abysmal human rights record – especially towards Muslim minorities – are now cosying up to Modi and wilfully turning a blind eye to his brutal and authoritarian Hindu Right regime – a regime that is more characteristic of fascism than it is a thriving democracy.
