When he was first elected in 2014, Modi's central mantra was "identity is nationality, not religion". Modi enters a third term with his BJP party firmly tethered to a political course called Hindu nationalism. Minorities – Muslims, Christians and Sikh separatists – all have reasons not to be optimistic about what's to come with Modi's third term. 

Our panel assess the election and look ahead to where Modi could take India next. On foreign policy issues - Pakistan, Kashmir, China, Russia and Ukraine - where will New Delhi stand? 

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown.

Note
  • After India's marathon election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is claiming victory with a historic third successive term. Modi has been criticised throughout the election campaign for abusing state press and broadcast media. There was also the case of the jailed opposition figures and the alleged suppression of the Muslim vote.
