India: The Modi Question
9pm, BBC Two
Narendra Modi is one of the most successful of the wave of hard-right populist politicians who emerged a decade ago. While Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro have fallen by the wayside – for now – Modi continues to enjoy huge support inside India.

This series tracks his journey to power, starting with a detailed look at events in Gujarat in 2002, when Modi was effectively accused of allowing a massacre of Muslims. Phil Harrison
