International backlash has been growing against India’s governing Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), after the party’s national spokeswoman Nupur Sharma and Delhi media operation head Naveen Kumar Jindal made disparaging remarks about Prophet Muhammad.

Meanwhile, Muslims in India have been going through uneasy times - from violence, persecution, to repeated calls to literally wipe them out. So why is this happening in the world’s biggest democracy and who is behind it?

In this episode:

Salil Shetty (@SalilShetty), Former Secretary-General of Amnesty International
