1/200 Campaign Season E12 - Modi's Visit to NZ
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting New Zealand this weekend (July 10-11). A sold out public event 'Kia Ora Modi' has been organised at Spark Arena in Auckland to mark his visit. In the context of the recent India - New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, Destiny Church's Brian Tāmaki has announced a street protest against Modi during his visit. There will be counter protests too, against both Tāmaki and Modi.
In this episode Josephine speaks with Indian activists in Aotearoa, Sapna Samant, Oscar Romero and Anu Kaloti about a left perspective on the India-NZ FTA, the rising tide of anti Indian racism as well as how to locate Modi within the context of the US imperialism.
