How has Narendra Modi survived as India's Prime Minister since 2014? And how will he last beyond India's current 2024 elections? 
In this episode of Critical South we trace the political trajectory of Modi as Professor Lawrence Hamilton has a one-on-one with Professor Sanjay Ruparelia from Toronto Metropolitan University. 
Ruparelia draws some parallels between Modi's party and the African National Congress in South Africa and talks about castes, class and voting ability in the largest democracy in the world.
And in our slice of the political agenda, Political Studies scholar Moshibudi Motimele looks at whether the results of the recent elections in South Africa  matter beyond the infrastructure collapse in the country.
