Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sweeping domestic agenda is in jeopardy after his party failed to win an outright majority in parliament for the first time in a decade, forcing it to work with a coalition of parties.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has ruled with an absolute majority for the past decade and has advocated – and pushed through – laws that critics say have furthered divisive Hindu majority goals.
In 2019, the government scrapped the semi-autonomous status of Muslim-majority state Jammu and Kashmir and passed an amendment to the citizenship law that discriminates against Muslims.
