Modi, Biden, America & India's Democracy Debate I Salvatore Babones speaks to Barkha Dutt

Barkha Dutt speaks to Dr Salvatore Babones, associate professor of sociology at the University of Sydney, on PM Modi’s US Visit. Babones who has often passionately defended India’s democracy amid a global debate around whether it has diminished, said that “Biden did not actually endorse India’s democracy when asked a question.. the Biden government is “not as Pro India as we may think”.

Responding to questions about how the Modi government should respond to Western Media opeds and questions from US Lawmakers, 70 of whom urged Biden to raise the issue of democracy with Modi, Babones said “Modi government should not be defensive, it should go on the offensive; it should engage with the criticism, it has done poorly on engaging with its international image in this regard”
