India's PM! Take Note. The New Target: Hindus | Ratnadeep Chakraborty

As India rises on the world stage, are the same forces that targeted Jews now turning their attention toward Hindus?In this fascinating conversation, researcher and journalist Ratnadeep Chakraborty joins The Western Spirit to discuss the growing partnership between India and Israel, the rise of anti-Hindu activism in the West, terrorism, Kashmir, Iran, anti-Semitism, and the lessons India can learn from Israel's experience as a nation under constant threat.Why was India among the first countries to condemn the October 7 attacks? Why do so many Indians increasingly identify with Israel's struggle against radical Islamist extremism? And why are some activists using the same language against Hindus that has long been used against Jews?Ratnadeep explains how Prime Minister Narendra Modi transformed India's relationship with Israel, why many Indians see parallels between Kashmir and October 7, and what India can learn from Israel about resilience, national identity, remembrance, and survival.The conversation also explores anti-Semitism in Pakistan, the growing influence of Hinduphobia in Western institutions, the success of Indian and Jewish communities abroad, and the future of the India-Israel alliance in a rapidly changing world.Ratnadeep Chakraborty is a journalist, researcher, and PhD candidate at Tel Aviv University specializing in anti-Semitism, South Asian politics, India-Israel relations, Pakistan, and regional security issues.If you enjoy conversations about geopolitics, Israel, India, foreign policy, anti-Semitism, terrorism, and international affairs, subscribe to The Western Spirit and turn on notifications.📌 Support the channel by buying me coffee! ☕️ https://buymeacoffee.com/westernspirit📌 For business inquiries, including advertising opportunities on our show, please email us at: thewesternspiritpodcast@gmail.comChapters00:00The Plight of Kashmir Hindus03:13India's Diplomatic Shift: Modi's Visit to Israel05:53India-Israel Relations: A Strategic Partnership08:49Cultural and Civilizational Ties11:56The Rise of Nationalism in India15:43India's Support for Israel: A Shared Experience of Terrorism17:45India's Delicate Balancing Act with Iran23:30Learning from Israel: Memory and National Identity29:57The Diaspora Connection: Hindus and Jews35:56Challenges of Memory and Commemoration42:12The Intersection of Hinduphobia and Anti-Semitism47:56Personal Experiences in Israel: A Journalist's Perspective#India #Israel #NarendraModi #Hindus #Hinduphobia #Kashmir #Pakistan #Iran #Antisemitism #TheWesternSpirit
