One party to rule them all? India’s fraying democracy

Max Rodenbeck, South Asia bureau chief for The Economist, and Wendelin von Bredow, who covers Europe, discuss India's precarious democracy under Prime Minister Modi. They probe the erosion of judicial independence and the rise of a potential one-party system, expressing hope for India's diverse society. The conversation shifts to Sweden, where entrenched gang violence reveals troubling social divides, contrasting sharply with its peaceful reputation.
