DESCRIPTION:Narendra Modi has been Prime Minister of India for the last 9-½ years. How 
 has Indian\ndemocracy fared? It’s a mixed bag, as he has achieved some 
 good goals, improved the\neconomy, addressed climate-change issues, and 
 enhanced India’s world status. But he\nhas also enabled draconian limits 
 on press freedom, individual rights, and Kashmiri\nautonomy. He unabashedly 
 embraces a Hindu-first philosophy. With a whiff of\nauthoritarianism, Modi 
 is unique in his almost ascetic lifestyle, and is widely\nacknowledged as 
 not corruptible. We present an overview and welcome a discussion\non 
 whether the world’s largest democracy is sliding into an autocracy. What 
 does this\nportend for the diverse Indian population and for other 
 countries?\n\nThe intention of this presentation is to open discussion on 
 issues critical to our world\ntoday and provide a space where controversial 
 views can be discussed in an\natmosphere of potentially sharp, but 
 respectful, debate.\n\nPlease join us for a most exciting presentation. All 
 are welcome to join in the\nconversation, asking questions and providing 
 your own ideas on the subject.\n
