India: Rahul Gandhi's defamation trial highlights drift away from democracy under Narendra Modi

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, April 15, 2023

Rahul Gandhi, India’s most prominent opposition leader and the principal adversary of the country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, was recently disqualified as a member of parliament.

Key Points: 
  • Rahul Gandhi, India’s most prominent opposition leader and the principal adversary of the country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, was recently disqualified as a member of parliament.
  • This came after Gandhi was found guilty of defamation for comment he made about Modi’s surname at a rally in 2019.
  • The scion of India’s most prominent political dynasty made several remarks alleging that India’s democratic institutions were being deliberately undermined by the current government.
  • Their reasoning was that criticising the state of India’s postcolonial democracy in the halls of the former colonising country crossed the line.

Democracy in decline

    • The RSS is a nucleus of the “Sangh Parivar” umbrella movement of various right-wing organisations and an ideological parent to the BJP.
    • It has been quite open about its desire to transform India into a strongly militarist nation based on extreme Hindu nationalism.

Political Labelling

    • Rather than engage with the substance of Gandhi’s arguments, the party and its supporters have instead focused on criticising him personally.
    • They portray Gandhi and other critics as “anti-national” and as part of a “foreign conspiracy” to weaken India.
    • This contempt for opposition by no means stops at political figures such as Gandhi.
    • In March, justice minister Kiren Rijiju referred to “some retired judges” being “part of the anti-India gang”.
