Ramachandra Guha, arguably the foremost historian of modern India, says the Modi government with Amit Shah as Home Minister has placed India in a “dangerous, divisive and self-destructive direction”. He says that the “stigmatization of muslims is the most worrying development under Narendra Modi”. Ramachandra Guha adds that “we can no longer boast of India’s democracy”. In 2007 he called India a 50:50 democracy. Now, he says “we are perhaps closer to being a 30:70 democracy”. He agrees that if this trend continues India will soon cease to be a democracy.
