In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party, BJP, is tightening its political grip after winning a key legislative election in one of India’s most populous states, West Bengal. The victory brought an end to 15 years of rule by Mamata Banerjee, who is one of Modi’s most outspoken opponents. In the run-up to the election, an estimated 9 million people were stripped of their right to vote, removed from the voter registration, in a move that disproportionately targeted Muslims in West Bengal.
