Summary

Guest: Aditya Velivelli Recorded: August 9, 2019 We talk to previous RWN guest Aditya Velivelli about the Indian government's surprise decision to strip Kashmir of its special semi-autonomous political status. To understand what's happening, Aditya tells us about Kashmir's historically separate and independent identity going back millennia, and brings us up to the present with India's popular far-right leader Modi and the RSS, a quasi-fascist grassroots paramilitary organization that serves as Modi's base. Check out previous episodes with Aditya Velivelli: EP #96: Sino-India War of 1962 ; and EP #103: The 1857 Indian Rebellion (or First War of Independence).
