Avec 1,45 milliard d'habitants, l'Inde est désormais devant la Chine le pays le plus peuplé de la planète et, à la différence de celle-ci, continue de voir sa population augmenter. L'Inde est, par ailleurs, la cinquième puissance économique mondiale. Narendra Modi, le très autoritaire et nationaliste dirigeant indien s'est fixé comme objectif de faire de l'Inde la 3è économie mondiale à l'horizon 2030 et d'en faire un pays développé d'ici à 2047, qui correspondra au centenaire de l'indépendance du pays.Le 14 février 2025, Narendra Modi rencontrait Donald Trump à Washington. Deux semaines plus tard, Ursula von der Leyen était reçue à New Delhi. Longtemps l'Inde s'est méfiée de l'Union européenne. New Delhi préférait négocier en bilatéral avec Paris ou Berlin, plutôt qu'avec Bruxelles. Mais les temps ont changé pour le géant asiatique comme pour l'Europe, chamboulée par le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. Les deux blocs partagent la même faiblesse, leur dépendance à la Chine. La présidente de la Commission européenne s'est engagée avec le Premier ministre indien à finaliser un accord de libre-échange d'ici à la fin de l'année et à diversifier la coopération en l'ouvrant sur la sécurité et la défense. La Commission espère trouver dans le marché indien de nouveaux débouchés, notamment pour les voitures, les produits agricoles, le vin et les spiritueux. Une ère nouvelle est-elle en train de s'enclencher entre l'Inde et l'UE alors que l'Europe est le premier partenaire commercial de l'Inde devant les États-Unis et la Chine ? L'Inde reste un pays ultra-protectionniste. Le contexte international donnera-t-il le coup de pouce nécessaire pour dépasser les blocages ?Invités :  Christophe Jaffrelot, expert associé à l'Institut Montaigne.

If there is one thing political scientists can agree on, it is that we live in an era of populism. With the recent election of Donald Trump, populism has returned to the United States, raising questions about what changes we might see in upcoming elections in 2025.South Asia has been no stranger to populism and a new book, Righteous Demagogues: Populist Politics in South Asia and Beyond, provides a framework for understanding its origins, its evolution, and its prospects. The authors of this new book are the scholars Dann Naseemullah and Pradeep Chhibber and they join Milan on the show this week to discuss their new book.Dann is a Reader in International Politics at King's College London. And Pradeep is currently Professor of Political Science and the Indo-American Community Chair in India Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.The three discuss the COVID-era origins of the book, definitions of populism, and the ways in which populism has played out across the subcontinent over the last seven decades. Plus, they talk about the future of ousted Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, the current turmoil in Bangladesh, and what exactly is new in the “New India” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Episode notes:1. “The Lessons of Gujarat Under Modi (with Christophe Jaffrelot),” Grand Tamasha, May 29, 2024.2.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 07/09/2024 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Isabelle Durant, experte droit au développement au Conseil des Droits de l'Homme ; Zyad Limam, directeur et rédacteur en chef de "Afrique Magazine" ; Vibeke Knoop Rachline, correspondante pour la presse norvégienne, et le dessinateur de presse Pierre Kroll. Poutine se dit prêt à des négociations : l'Ukraine y a-t-elle un intérêt ?Vladimir Poutine a assuré, jeudi 5 septembre, que la Russie était prête à des négociations avec l'Ukraine : “Si un souhait de négocier émerge en Ukraine, nous ne refuserons pas”. Une inflexion, alors que le Kremlin refusait toute idée de négociation depuis que Kiev a lancé une offensive en territoire russe, début août. Vladimir Poutine a rappelé dans le même temps que la conquête du Donbass à l'Est était “la priorité numéro un” de Moscou. L'Ukraine peut-elle avoir la certitude qu'elle négociera mieux et plus facilement dans six mois ou un an ? "Crise de régime" en France : la seule issue est-elle une présidentielle anticipée ?La nomination de Michel Barnier à Matignon ne va pas forcément mettre fin au chaos politique actuel. Outre la menace permanente d'une motion de censure, dès la constitution de son gouvernement, le choix d'un Premier ministre issu de la droite est vivement dénoncé par la gauche, qui y voit un “vol” du résultat des élections législatives. Olivier Faure dénonce une “crise de régime”. Une nouvelle dissolution de l'Assemblée étant impossible avant juillet 2025, quels leviers reste-t-il pour sortir de la crise ou de l'impasse politique ? Une élection présidentielle serait-elle le moyen de recommencer un cycle démocratique légitime et serein ? Que savez-vous de Bombay ? La mégalopole indienne, souvent identifiée par ses bidonvilles et son industrie cinématographique florissante, fait face à des enjeux cruciaux comme la montée de la xénophobie, mais aussi les effets des dégradations environnementales. L'historienne ​​et spécialiste de l'Inde contemporaine Vanessa Caru raconte l'évolution de cette ville dans “Histoire de Bombay”, un ouvrage coécrit avec Christophe Jaffrelot. Valérie Brochard nous donne des nouvelles de nos très chers voisins européens : ce week-end, direction l'Allemagne. L'entreprise Volkswagen, le premier constructeur automobile européen et deuxième mondial, envisage de fermer un de ses sites de production en Allemagne, ainsi que des licenciements secs, afin de réduire massivement ses coûts. Faut-il voir dans cette décision de Volkswagen une alerte pour tous les autres constructeurs européens ?  Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur la télévision norvégienne, scandalisée par le mariage de la princesse de Norvège avec un chaman américain. Cette excentricité agace la société norvégienne, d'autant plus que le couple malmène la science et utilise son appartenance à la famille royale à des fins commerciales.  Ce week-end, Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employé de la semaine à l'athlète paralympique afghane Zakia Khudadadi qui s'est démarquée en taekwondo. Exilée en France, elle a obtenu la première médaille de l'histoire avec la délégation des réfugiés. Elle espère être une inspiration pour toutes les Afghanes opprimées en Afghanistan, mais est-elle seulement visible là-bas ?  Le vert est-il de gauche ? Choisie comme couleur de campagne par Kamala Harris cet été et arborée par l'écologiste Marine Tondelier avec sa fameuse veste, Paola Puerari interroge le symbole qu'ont les couleurs en politique.  Enfin, ne manquez pas la Une hexagonale de la semaine sur le démarrage de l'EPR de Flamanville, et la question très intéressante de David Castello-Lopes qui se demande ce qu'il faut faire en cas d'attaque de kangourous. 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Une victoire sans éclat pour Narendra Modi….c'est ainsi que l'on peut décrire la situation au terme des élections générales qui se sont déroulées sur plusieurs semaines en Inde et viennent de se terminer. Près d'un milliard d'électeurs étaient appelés aux urnes. Le BJP, le puissant parti du Premier Ministre qui est aussi la plus grande formation politique au monde avec 180 millions de membres, est certes arrivé en tête du scrutin mais pour la première fois depuis dix ans celui qui gouvernait sans partage, n'obtient pas à lui seul, la majorité. Il lui manque 32 sièges pour cela. Il lui en fallait 272. Il n'en a que 240. Usure du pouvoir, campagne sans élan, échec personnel pour Narendra Modi ? Le premier ministre indien n'en remporte pas moins sa 3è victoire. Reste que les questions liées à l'emploi et à l'inflation n'ont pas suffisamment été ses priorités alors qu'elles l'étaient de l'opposition.

It is a book that the author started researching twenty years ago and is finally out in the world.To talk more about the book, Christophe joins Milan on the show this week. He is the Avantha Chair and Professor of Indian Politics and Sociology at the King's India Institute. He teaches at Sciences Po and is also a non-resident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceMilan and Christophe discuss the tortuous backstory to the book, what attracted Christophe to the Gujarat story in 2001, and how the BJP established total hegemony in the western state. Plus, the two discuss the “Gujarat model” under Modi, the idea of a “deeper state,” and the often-tense relations between Modi and the Sangh Parivar.Episode notes:1. “Christophe Jaffrelot on India's First Dictatorship,” Grand Tamasha, April 14, 2021.2.

Selon elle le Premier ministre Narendra Modi et son parti nationaliste hindou le BJP – au pouvoir depuis dix ans – ont entrainé le pays dans une spirale de haine à l'égard des musulmans, et dégradé les institutions.

Ajantha Subramanian and Lori Allen turn from hosts to interlocutors in an episode that ties a bow on our Violent Majorities conversations about Indian (episode 1) and Israeli (episode 2) ethnonationalism. The three friends discuss commonalities between Balmurli Natrajan's charting of the "slippery slope towards a multiculturalism of caste" and Natasha Roth-Rowland's description of the "territorial maximalism" that has been central to Zionism. The role of overseas communities loomed large, as did the roots of ethnonationalism in the fascism of the 1920s, which survived, transmuted or merely masked over the subsequent bloody century, as other ideologies (Communism and perhaps cosmopolitan liberalism among them) waxed before waning. The conversation also examines the current-day shared playbook of the long-distance far-right ideologies of Zionism and Hindutva. And it concludes with a reflection on the suitability of the term fascism to describe such organizations and their historical forebears as well as other contemporary movements. Mentioned in the episode Snigdha Poonam's recent book Dreamers investigates the “angry young men” engaged in Hindutvite attacks, including those who are economically and educationally marginalized, as well as those who resent what they see as their wrongful decline from privilege. Yuval Abraham's “The IDF unit turning ‘Hilltop Youth” Settlers into Soldiers” is an investigation into how Israeli settlers from violent outposts are being inducted into a new military unit responsible for severe abuses of Palestinians across the West Bank. (However, in describing Israel's “hilltop youth” as coming from “lower rungs,” Lori feels she may have overstated their marginalization. Although one report describes Israel's hilltop youth as young men recruited from unstable homes, others point to the Israeli state's unwillingness to stop them.) Daniel Kupfert Heller, Jabotinsky's Children, on the rise of the transnational youth movement, Betar. A correction: Jabotinsky was from Odessa (modern Ukraine), but much of his support was in Poland. RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) as the first institutionalization of the Hindutva project and a living remnant of 1920s fascism. The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) arises as the political wing of the RSS and comes to prominence around the destruction of the Ayodhya Mosque. Lori's interview with Zachary Lockman in MERIP about historical changes in American Jewish attitudes towards Zionism. Ajantha refers to the argument in Natasha Roth-Rowland's recent dissertation ("'Not One Inch of Retreat': The Transnational Jewish Far Right, 1929-1996"), that the turn towards Zionism is linked in the US with a turn away from Communism as another transnational movement, waning as Zionism was waxing. Lori mentions the grim effects of the redefinition of anti-Semitism put forward in 2016 by the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA), one response to which is the 2020 Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism. Azad Essa, Hostile Homelands discusses Zionist support of Hindutva activism and lobbying in the US. One group that has modelled its congressional activism on that of the American Jewish Committee and AIPAC is the Hindu American Foundation. Ajantha mentions Hindutvites repurposing their online Islamophobia in support of Israel after Hamas's October 7th military operation. Alberto Toscano, “The Long Shadow of Racial Fascism” discusses radical Black thinkers who have argued that racial slavery was a form of American fascism.

Ajantha Subramanian and Lori Allen turn from hosts to interlocutors in an episode that ties a bow on our Violent Majorities conversations about Indian (episode 1) and Israeli (episode 2) ethnonationalism. The three friends discuss commonalities between Balmurli Natrajan's charting of the "slippery slope towards a multiculturalism of caste" and Natasha Roth-Rowland's description of the "territorial maximalism" that has been central to Zionism. The role of overseas communities loomed large, as did the roots of ethnonationalism in the fascism of the 1920s, which survived, transmuted or merely masked over the subsequent bloody century, as other ideologies (Communism and perhaps cosmopolitan liberalism among them) waxed before waning. The conversation also examines the current-day shared playbook of the long-distance far-right ideologies of Zionism and Hindutva. And it concludes with a reflection on the suitability of the term fascism to describe such organizations and their historical forebears as well as other contemporary movements. Mentioned in the episode Snigdha Poonam's recent book Dreamers investigates the “angry young men” engaged in Hindutvite attacks, including those who are economically and educationally marginalized, as well as those who resent what they see as their wrongful decline from privilege. Yuval Abraham's “The IDF unit turning ‘Hilltop Youth” Settlers into Soldiers” is an investigation into how Israeli settlers from violent outposts are being inducted into a new military unit responsible for severe abuses of Palestinians across the West Bank. (However, in describing Israel's “hilltop youth” as coming from “lower rungs,” Lori feels she may have overstated their marginalization. Although one report describes Israel's hilltop youth as young men recruited from unstable homes, others point to the Israeli state's unwillingness to stop them.) Daniel Kupfert Heller, Jabotinsky's Children, on the rise of the transnational youth movement, Betar. A correction: Jabotinsky was from Odessa (modern Ukraine), but much of his support was in Poland. RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) as the first institutionalization of the Hindutva project and a living remnant of 1920s fascism.

"The Slippery Slope to a Multiculturalism of Caste" Professor Balmurli Natrajan has long studied questions of caste, nationalism and fascism in the Indian context: his many works include a 2011 book, The Culturalization of Caste in India. He joins anthropologists Lori Allen and Ajantha Subramanian to kick off a three-part RTB series, "Violent Majorities: Indian and Israeli Ethnonationalism." The three discuss the ideological bases of Indian ethnonationalism, including its historical links to European fascism, the role of caste as both a conduit and impediment to suturing a Hindu majority, the overlaps and differences between the mobilization work of the Hindu Right in India and the U.S., and possibilities for countering India's slide towards fascism.

Từ giã Hoa Kỳ, thủ tướng Ấn Độ ra về với hàng loạt hợp đồng quan trọng trong các lĩnh vực từ công nghệ cao đến quốc phòng. « Công lao » của Trung Quốc và Nga trong đó khá lớn. Hơn cả tầm mức quan trọng về kinh tế, những thỏa thuận Washington và New Delhi đạt được phác họa ra « một lộ trình đầy tham của hợp tác song phương về những lĩnh vực chiến lược : công nghệ cao, viễn thông, trí tuệ nhân tạo và quốc phòng ». Kết thúc ba ngày làm việc tại Mỹ, thủ tướng Modi ra về với 5 chương trình hợp tác quốc phòng với Mỹ, với 7 thỏa thuận đầu tư vào Ấn Độ trong các lĩnh vực công nghệ cao và công nghệ không gian..., với 8 chương trình hợp tác phát triển năng lượng sạch. Đấy là chưa kể đến những văn bản đôi bên đã thông qua nhằm nâng cao hợp tác trong các lĩnh vực văn hóa, giáo dục, mở rộng thêm các văn phòng đại diện ngoại giao tại hai nước, về những sáng kiến chung cho khu vực Ấn Độ-Thái Bình Dương...  Mục tiêu Trung QuốcTrong lĩnh vực quốc phòng chẳng hạn, New Delhi trang bị drone MQ-9BSeaGuardian do General Atomics chế tạo, trị giá hợp đồng hơn 3 tỷ đô la. Đáng chú ý hơn nữa là hợp đồng cho phép General Electric sản xuất động cơ máy bay trinh sát F-414 trên lãnh thổ Ấn Độ. Vế quan trọng ở đây liên quan đến khâu chuyển giao công nghệ. Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, nhà nghiên cứu Olivier Guillard thuộc trung tâm nghiên cứu về châu Á CERIAS đại học Québec-Montréal, giám đốc đặc trách về thông tin cơ quan tư vấn CRISIS24 -Garda World trước hết phân tích về tầm nhìn của New Delhi : « Thủ tướng Ấn Độ công du Hoa Kỳ với mục tiêu kép là kinh tế và chiến lược mà Trung Quốc là trọng tâm của vế chiến lược đó. Hai nền dân chủ lớn nhất thế giới này có quan điểm và cách tiếp cận khá gần gũi với nhau về Bắc Kinh. Cả hai hiện cùng đang có mối bang giao không mấy hữu hảo với Trung Quốc. Ấn Độ -Trung Quốc có tranh chấp lãnh thổ. Washington và New Delhi đọ sức với Bắc Kinh về mặt chính trị, chiến lược. Trên tất cả các chủ đề này không ai có ý định nhượng bộ. Chính thái độ đó lại càng thắt chặt thêm quan hệ Mỹ-Ấn. Washington trải thảm đỏ đón thủ tướng Narendra Modi, nhiều hợp đồng đã được ký kết. Nhà Trắng nói đến "năng lượng mới" trong bang giao song phương ». Đối với Washington, Milan Vaishnav, giám đốc chương trình Nam Á trung tâm nghiên cứu Carnegie ghi nhận : Làm thế nào đối mặt với « thách thức Trung Quốc », đó là câu hỏi đã thúc đẩy chính sách kinh tế và đối ngoại của Hoa Kỳ trong thời gian gần đây. Sản xuất chíp điện tử và linh kiện bán dẫn trả lời phần nào câu hỏi này và chính trên điểm này « Ấn Độ hiện là một đối tác quan trọng ». Chẳng vậy mà Micron Technology Inc. trong lĩnh vực công nghệ bán dẫn thông báo đầu tư hơn 800 triệu đô la vào một dự án để mở nhà máy tại bang Gujarat (miền tây Ấn Độ). Washington và New Delhi hợp tác phát triển công nghệ viễn thông thế hệ 6 -chuẩn bị thay thế hệ thống 5G hiện nay. India's Sterlite Technologies Limited đầu tư 100 triệu đô la mở nhà máy sản xuất cáp quang gần thành phố Colombia -bang South Carolina. Cùng lúc thỏa thuận MSP bảo đảm nguồn cung ứng cho đôi bên về các loại khoáng sản « thiết yếu » (critical minerals) tránh để chuỗi cung ứng bị « đổ gẫy »… Thị trường 20 tỷ đô la một năm Những hợp đồng nói trên thể hiện hai điều : một là Mỹ đánh cược vào Ấn Độ để giảm lệ thuộc vào chuỗi cung ứng mà ở đó Trung Quốc đã trở thành một mắt xích không thể thiếu (như với kim loại hiếm) đồng thời khai thác nhân công với chuyên môn cao tại Ấn Độ để phát triển những công nghệ mới, chận đường các công ty Trung Quốc. Đương nhiên tính toán đó đấp ứng tham vọng của thủ tướng Narendra Modi để đưa kinh tế Ấn Độ lên một « tầm cao mới ». Giám đốc cơ quan tư vấn CRISIS24 -Garda World, Olivier Guillard gắn liền vế thương mại với những mục tiêu về quốc phòng của cả đôi bên :« Vế thương mại là mục tiêu quá rõ ràng trong chuyến đi lần này của ông Modi. Trước tiên, đôi bên đã đạt được nhiều tiến bộ trên những hồ sơ nhậy cảm, từ sản xuất chíp điện tử đến chế tạo linh kiện bán dẫn. Quan trọng hơn cả là nhiều hãng lớn của Mỹ cam kết chuyển giao công nghệ cho New Delhi, sản xuất tại Ấn Độ và đầu từ hàng trăm tỷ đô la vào Ấn Độ. Đây là những hợp đồng mang tính nhậy cảm bởi không chỉ liên quan đến vế kinh tế mà còn bao hàm luôn cả vế quân sự và an ninh. Thí dụ như trong thỏa thuận sản xuất động cơ cho phản lực F-414 của Mỹ. Đối với thủ tướng Modi, đây là một điểm then chốt, bởi đáp ứng được tham vọng "Made in India" mà ông đã đề ra từ gần cả một chục năm nay. Ấn Độ muốn được chuyển giao công nghệ để có thể tự sản xuất, nâng cấp cơ cấu kinh tế của nước này, đồng thời bớt phụ thuộc vào nguồn cung cấp trang thiết bị quân sự chính là Nga ». Yếu tố NgaNhà chính trị học Christophe Jaffrelot giám đốc trung tâm nghiên cứu CERI - Sciences Po, trường Khoa Học Chính Trị Paris (báo La Croix 25/06/2023) đánh giá : chính khâu chuyển giao công nghệ mới là « chìa khóa » của các hợp đồng. Công nghiệp quốc phòng của Ấn Độ vẫn còn nhiều yếu kém, Ấn Độ vẫn chưa thể tự sản xuất xe tăng, chiến đầu cơ hay tàu ngầm.Hàng năm New Delhi chi ra 20 tỷ đô la để nhập khẩu vũ khí mà Nga là một nguồn cung cấp chính. Trước ngày thủ tướng Modi đến Hoa Kỳ, bộ trưởng Quốc Phòng Mỹ, tướng Lloyd Austin rồi cố vấn an ninh quốc gia của Nhà Trắng Jake Sullivan lần lượt đến New Delhi. Hôm 15/06/2023 ông Sullivan đã cùng với đồng cấp Ấn Độ là Ajit Doval công bố lộ trình đầy tham vọng cho hợp tác song phương trên một số lĩnh vực rất nhậy như vừa nêu. Nếu như đối với New Delhi viễn cảnh tự chủ về công nghiệp quốc phòng là điều quan trọng nhất thì trong mắt Washington, Ấn Độ là đối tác quan trọng để « bảo vệ một trật tự thế giới với những giá trị tự do, dân chủ là cơ bản » mà trật tự đó đang bị cả Trung Quốc lẫn Nga thách thức như đánh giá của Milan Vaishnav, giám đốc chương trình Nam Á trung tâm nghiên cứu Carnegie. Nga là yếu tố thứ nhì trong các hợp đồng cả về quân sự đến công nghệ mà Ấn Độ và Mỹ vừa đúc kết. Olivier Guillard giải thích :  « Điều chắc chắn là về mặt phòng thủ và công nghiệp quốc phòng từ nhiều thập niên qua Ấn Độ rất lệ thuộc vào Nga, vào các tập đoàn cung cấp Nga. Khoảng 60 % các trang thiết bị quân sự trên bộ, trên biển và trên không của Ấn Độ xuất xứ từ Nga. Mức độ lệ thuộc lớn như vậy càng lúc càng đè nặng lên các chính quyền ở New Delhi. Do vậy khoảng từ một chục năm trở lại đây Ấn Độ tìm cách đa dạng hóa các nguồn cung cấp vũ khí và trang thiết bị quân sự. Trong chiến lược này, Pháp là một đối tác quan trọng. Có từ 20 đến 25 % trang thiết bị quân sự của Ấn Độ là do Pháp cung cấp. Đừng quên rằng Ấn Độ là một trong những nguồn nhập khẩu vũ khí lớn nhất trên thế giới. Do New Delhi đang tìm kiếm thêm các nguồn cung cấp khác để bớt phụ thuộc vào Nga, cho nên Mỹ đã tận dụng cơ hội này để mở rộng thị phần tại Ấn Độ. Lần này ông Modi sang Mỹ mua drone có trang bị vũ khí nhằm tăng cường khả năng phòng thủ và tấn công cho bộ binh và không quân. Kèm theo đó là vế chuyển giao công nghệ. Một lần nữa chúng ta thấy là New Delhi muốn độc lập hơn với các nhà sản xuất Nga. Đương nhiên Matxcơva không hài lòng lắm nhưng Nga không có sự lựa chọn nào khác ».   Tham vọng của New Delhi qua mặt Trung Quốc Từ khi Liên Xô sụp đổ năm 1991 Ấn Độ liên tục tìm cách đa dạng hóa các nguồn cung cấp vũ khí. Trong mục tiêu này, New Delhi đã nhắm tới Israel, Pháp và đương nhiên là Hoa Kỳ. Cho đến tận dưới thời tổng thống George W. Bush (2000-2008) một số rào cản (do liên hệ mật thiết với các nhà sản xuất trang thiết bị quân sự Liên Xô, rồi với Nga) trong hợp tác quốc phòng Mỹ-Ấn mới bắt dầu từng bước được dỡ bỏ. Do vậy ông Nicolas Blarel, giám đốc nghiên cứu đại học Leyde, Hà Lan cho rằng, hàng loạt các thỏa thuận về quốc phòng vừa được thông qua tại Washington tuần trước do bối cảnh địa chính trị hiện nay với Trung Quốc, với Nga dẫn tới, nhưng đồng thời đây cũng là kết quả của hơn 20 năm đàm phán. Giờ đây với các chương trình chuyển giao công nghệ, chuyên gia này không loại trừ khả năng trong tương lai không xa chiến đấu cơ HAL Tejas của Ấn Độ hoàn toàn có thể cạnh tranh được và thậm chí là còn vượt trội hơn cả máy bay trinh sát tương đương của Trung Quốc. Nhưng làm thế nào dung hòa công nghệ của Mỹ và trang thiết bị có sẵn từ thời Liên Xô hay của Nga ? Trước mắt giới phân tích chưa thể giải đáp.Vấn đề còn lại là liệu rằng nền công nghiệp quốc phòng của Ấn Độ có nắm bắt cơ hội hợp tác với Mỹ để làm chủ những công nghệ mới hay không. Chỉ biết rằng thủ tướng Narendra Modi đã được tiếp đón trọng vọng tại Hoa Kỳ và ông đang chuẩn bị lên đường đến Paris : Ấn Độ là khách mời danh dự của Pháp nhân dịp lễ Quốc Khánh 14/07/2023. Từ 2016 New Delhi là một trong những khách hàng sử dụng chiến đấu cơ Rafale, biểu tượng của nền công nghiệp hàng không quân sự Pháp.

Khi xung đột Nga – Ukraina bùng nổ, Ấn Độ cũng như nhiều quốc gia châu Phi, châu Á và Trung Đông đều tránh chọn phe. Sự phụ thuộc của Ấn Độ vào năng lượng và vũ khí của Nga, cùng với các vấn đề trong quá khứ với Mỹ, khiến nước này có một lựa chọn trung lập hấp dẫn. Đường lối « phi liên kết » truyền thốngHầu hết giới phân tích đều có chung một nhận xét : Quy mô và sức mạnh của Ấn Độ khiến nước này trở thành quốc gia có ảnh hưởng nhất giữ thái độ trung lập sau một năm xảy ra cuộc chiến. Là quốc gia có dân số đông thứ hai thế giới, và là nền kinh tế thứ sáu, Ấn Độ sẽ tiếp tục giữ quan hệ với cả Nga với phương Tây khi duy trì thế « nước đôi chiến lược ». New Delhi một mặt tìm cách cưỡng lại sự thúc ép của Washington chống lại Matxcơva, và mặt khác kêu gọi « hòa bình » và hợp tác trên những gì có « điểm chung », mà không ủng hộ một quốc gia cụ thể nào.Trước thế giới, khi nói về cuộc chiến tại Ukraina, các phát biểu của Ấn Độ chủ yếu dựa trên luật quốc tế. Chính phủ Ấn Độ nhấn mạnh đến tầm quan trọng của chủ quyền và tôn trọng toàn vẹn lãnh thổ của các quốc gia nhằm bảo đảm duy trì trật tự thế giới. New Delhi kêu gọi chấm dứt ngay lập tức các hành động bạo lực và thù nghịch, nhưng chưa bao giờ nêu đích danh trách nhiệm của Nga. Tuy nhiên, quốc gia Nam Á này lại viện trợ nhân đạo cho Ukraina. Cả hai lần New Delhi đều cung cấp thuốc men, thiết bị y tế và sơ cứu cho Kiev.Trả lời trang mạng ABC News của Úc, ông Rick Russow, cố vấn cao cấp và chủ tịch nghiên cứu chính sách Hoa Kỳ - Ấn Độ tại Trung tâm Nghiên cứu Chiến lược và Quốc tế, cho rằng với vị thế trung lập này, Ấn Độ là một trong số các quốc gia duy nhất trong cuộc chiến ở Ukraina có thể « nhấc điện thoại và nói chuyện với lãnh đạo của cả hai nước Mỹ và Nga trong cùng một ngày ».Làm thế nào giải thích cho thế trung lập này của Ấn Độ ? Trong một phiên điều trần trước Ủy ban Đối ngoại và Quốc phòng Thượng Viện Pháp, ngày 05/04/2023, Christophe Jaffrelot, giám đốc nghiên cứu tại CERI-Sciences Po/CNRS, chủ tịch Hiệp hội Khoa học Pháp, trước hết nhắc lại lập trường « không liên kết » truyền thống của Ấn Độ trong các hồ sơ quốc tế.« Đường lối phi liên kết của Ấn Độ được thể hiện qua việc không đứng về phía nào trong bối cảnh chiến tranh tại Ukraina. Đây là một quan điểm rất cũ, có từ thời hậu chiến, bởi vì ông Jawaharlal Nehru, thủ tướng Ấn Độ giai đoạn 1947-1964, là người đặt nền móng cho lập trường này : Từ chối chọn phe này hay phe kia vào giai đoạn Chiến Tranh Lạnh. Ở đó, ông ấy nhìn thấy bạo lực không thể chịu nổi, và do vậy đã hình thành một phong trào, đó là Phong Trào Không Liên Kết, mà tư tưởng vẫn còn rất kiên định ».  Và sự kiên định này của Ấn Độ khiến các nước đồng minh phương Tây thất vọng. Năm 2023, New Delhin nắm chức chủ tịch luân phiên khối G20. Hoa Kỳ và các nước châu Âu trông đợi Ấn Độ có một thái độ rõ ràng hơn trong cuộc chiến Ukraina, nhưng đã hoài công. Tại cuộc họp các ngoại trưởng khối G20 trong tháng 3/2023, thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi chỉ nêu bật các vấn đề trong nước và các ưu tiên hàng đầu của Ấn Độ có liên quan đến Nam Bán cầu, tức nhóm các quốc gia ở châu Á, châu Phi và châu Mỹ Latinh, những nước có cùng quan điểm, đặc điểm kinh tế - xã hội.Sự từ chối chọn phe của Ấn Độ trong các cơ chế đa phương chống lại Nga được thể hiện rõ qua những lần vắng mặt trong các lên án cuộc chiến xâm lược Ukraina của Nga, bỏ phiếu trắng gần như có hệ thống tại Hội Đồng Bảo An khi Ấn Độ còn là thành viên không thường trực cho đến tháng 12/2022, bỏ phiếu trắng gần như có hệ thống tại Đại Hội Đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc khi vấn đề Ukraina được đặt ra, cho dù đó chỉ là những câu hỏi vì lý do nhân đạo và điều đó không thay đổi được điều gì : Ấn Độ không ra mặt chống lại Nga hay phương Tây.Phụ thuộc vũ khí Nga và mối quan hệ khó khăn với Mỹ trong quá khứCũng trong phiên điều trần tại Thượng Viện, nhà nghiên cứu Christophe Jaffrelot cho rằng còn có một yếu tố giải thích rõ thái độ kiên quyết trên của chính quyền thủ tướng Modi : Sự phụ thuộc quân sự của Ấn Độ vào Nga.« Hai phần ba vũ khí của Ấn Độ có nguồn gốc từ Liên Xô hoặc Nga. Điều này ít nhiều buộc Ấn Độ phải có thái độ và các phát biểu chừng mực. Đúng là Ấn Độ có các loại chiến đấu cơ Rafale và Mirage (Pháp) nhưng họ có rất nhiều tiêm kích Sukhoi và thậm chí cả MiG của Nga. Về điểm này, Nga rất thông minh, không bán quá đắt, chúng tôi nghĩ rất có thể là có sự bán phá giá, nhưng nhất là có sự hợp tác cùng phát triển (…) Ngoài những thiết bị trên, Nga và Ấn Độ cùng chế tạo tên lửa tầm ngắn Bramos mà hai nước này đã bán cho Philippines. Ở đây, tôi xin lưu ý, Ấn Độ là một quốc gia không có ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng, họ đã thất bại trong việc xây dựng một nền công nghiệp quốc phòng, vì vậy, họ cần sự trợ giúp từ bên ngoài. Về điểm này, người Nga vốn dĩ kiệm lời nhưng lại rất hào phóng trong việc chuyển giao công nghệ. »Nhưng sự phụ thuộc này vào Nga còn có một nguyên nhân lịch sử sâu xa. Harsh Pant, phó chủ tịch phụ trách nghiên cứu và chính sách đối ngoại tại Observer Research Foundation, trả lời ABC News, nhận định đó còn là một phản ứng của Ấn Độ đối với cách hành xử của phương Tây trong quá khứ.Năm 1998, để đối phó với một loạt vụ thử vũ khí hạt nhân mà Ấn Độ tiến hành gần nước láng giềng Pakistan, nhiều nước phương Tây, đi đầu là Mỹ, đã áp đặt các lệnh trừng phạt, khiến Ấn Độ không thể tiếp cận các công nghệ cao mà theo quan chức các Ấn Độ thời đó là để tự vệ trước Pakistan.Thay vào đó, New Delhi đã tìm thấy được sự hỗ trợ phòng thủ từ Nga thời kỳ hậu Chiến Tranh Lạnh trên cơ sở một mối quan hệ lâu dài được hình thành từ thời Liên Xô. Trong những năm 1959 – 1960, vào thời điểm xảy ra xung đột biên giới Ấn – Trung, Liên Xô khi ấy, bất chấp mối quan hệ đồng minh Trung – Xô thiết lập trong những năm 1950, vì muốn giữ mối quan hệ hữu hảo với Ấn Độ, đã tuyên bố trung lập, khiến Trung Quốc tức giận.Nhà nghiên cứu Harsh Pant khẳng định, hầu hết các nền tảng lớn của Ấn Độ như tầu sân bay, tầu ngầm hạt nhân, « tất cả đều thuộc Liên Xô, bởi vì Liên Xô sẵn sàng chia sẻ công nghệ với Ấn Độ ». Sự phụ thuộc đó càng quan trọng hơn vào lúc tranh chấp biên giới giữa Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc vẫn dai dẳng.Tầm nhìn thế giới mới : Phi liên kết hay đa liên kết ?Nhưng thế phụ thuộc quân sự vào Nga này chưa đủ để giải thích lập trường trung lập của Ấn Độ. Tại phiên điều trần ở Ủy ban Đối ngoại và Quốc phòng Thượng Viện Pháp, nhà chính trị học, chuyên gia về Ấn Độ Christophe Jaffrelot, nhận định còn có hai lý do khác để hiểu rõ vì sao New Delhi không lên án Matxcơva. Và những điểm này đã được ngoại trưởng Ấn Độ, ông Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, người định hình chính sách đối ngoại cho thủ tướng Modi hiện nay, trình bày rất rõ trong nhiều bài viết:« Đầu tiên là chủ nghĩa chống phương Tây kế thừa từ chủ nghĩa chống đế quốc. Chúng ta hiện đang trong thời kỳ hậu thuộc địa, nhưng chúng ta vẫn chưa thoát được trạng thái vốn là di sản của cuộc đấu tranh chống thực dân. Và chống chủ nghĩa đế quốc là từ chủ đạo, một điều gì đó dành cho Mỹ nói riêng và cả phương Tây nói chung.Điều giải thích thứ hai, có lẽ còn quan trọng hơn, đó là một tầm nhìn thế giới mà Jaishankar mô tả là đa phương. Chủ nghĩa đa phương đó là gì ? Đó không hẳn là đa phương, không phải là song phương, mà cũng không là đơn phương. Đó là khả năng Ấn Độ có thể trao đổi với nhiều đối tác khác nhau, về những vấn đề khác biệt giữa bên này với bên kia. » Tầm nhìn này của Ấn Độ được nhiều chuyên gia diễn giải như là đa liên kết. New Delhi hình thành các quan hệ đối tác và duy trì quan hệ hữu hảo với nhiều nước, và như vậy Ấn Độ sẽ rộng đường hành động, hơn là bị trói tay vào một mối quan hệ đồng minh, vốn dĩ bị cấm ở Ấn Độ. Nhà chính trị học Jaffrelot phân tích tiếp :« Trong tầm nhìn thế giới đa phương này, càng có nhiều cực, càng có nhiều đối tác khả thi chừng nào càng tốt chừng ấy. Vì điều đó, Ấn Độ muốn có một nước Nga hùng mạnh bởi vì họ phụ thuộc vào Nga về vũ khí. Ấn Độ muốn Nga mạnh còn là để mở rộng các khả năng của mình. Tương tự, Ấn Độ muốn có một Liên Hiệp Châu Âu vững mạnh, điều đó cũng quan trọng cho Ấn Độ bởi vì đây là một cực quyền lực bổ sung trong cuộc chơi, bởi vì điều làm Ấn Độ lo lắng nhất là một thế giới lưỡng cực và nếu thiếu may mắn, đó sẽ là một cuộc chiến. Đây là một hướng đi mà thế giới từng trải qua. »Dường như tầm nhìn thế giới này của Jaishankar trong chính sách đối ngoại của Ấn Độ lúc ban đầu ít nhiều có được thành công. Nhiều cường quốc lớn liên tục gởi đặc sứ đến New Delhi nhằm lôi kéo Ấn Độ về phía mình khi cuộc xung đột Nga – Ukraina bùng phát. Tuy nhiên, trong xu hướng thế giới rơi vào thế lưỡng cực ngày càng lớn, việc kiên định không chọn phe nào cũng có thể khiến Ấn Độ bị cô lập và đặt nước này trong tình trạng khó xử lý.Chuyên gia Jaffrelot lưu ý : « Nếu thế giới thực sự có sự phân chia quyền lực quốc tế thành hai nhóm, Ấn Độ và chủ nghĩa đa phương của nước này có nhiều nguy cơ gặp khó khăn việc xác định vị thế của mình. Đây sẽ là một thách thức lớn cho Ấn Độ trong tương lai ! »

Diplômé de Science Po et de l'INALCO, vous parlez hindi et vous êtes spécialiste du sous-continent indien auquel vous avez consacré plusieurs ouvrages, dont L'Inde de Modi, entre National-populisme et démocratie ethnique (ed. Fayard, 2019).Les élections d'avril 2022 ont confirmé la mainmise du BJP sur de nombreux États. Le parti du Premier Ministre Narendra Modi, au pouvoir depuis 8 ans, s'est notamment imposé dans l'Uttar Pradesh, État stratégique et symbolique, dont la démographie dépasse les 220 millions d'habitants. Le Parti du Congrès des Nehru-Gandhi est en crise et aucune autre force politique émergente ne parvient à s'imposer comme une véritable opposition. Le BJP apparaît donc de nouveau en position de force pour les élections législatives de 2024 malgré un bilan marqué par un recul face à la mobilisation historique de la paysannerie indienne et à une gestion critiquée de la pandémie. L'OMS estime à 4,7 millions le nombre d'Indiens morts du Covid alors que les confinements brutaux ont révélé la situation précaire des travailleurs saisonniers du secteur informel. Aujourd'hui cependant, l'Inde impressionne par la vigueur de son rebond économique, plutôt inédit dans un monde en proie aux difficultés économiques.Les indicateurs de la cinquième économie mondiale sont au vert et la banque JP Morgan voit dans le pays « le marché de croissance le plus dynamique d'Asie pour la décennie à venir ». Le gouvernement indien cherche à soutenir et moderniser l'industrie, notamment dans les secteurs stratégiques à haute valeur technologique comme les semi-conducteurs. Apple a ainsi choisi de produire une large partie de ses IPhones 14 en Inde, délaissant une Chine toujours aux prises avec le virus. L'Inde va d'ailleurs dépasser courant 2023, son voisin chinois pour devenir le pays le plus peuplé au monde. Il s'agit d'un immense défi de développement pour une société qui semble sur le point d'accomplir sa transition démographique mais dont les inégalités se creusent toujours. D'après une étude d'Oxfam, en 2021, 84% des ménages indiens avaient subi une perte de revenus alors que le nombre de milliardaires était passé de 102 à 142.Les discriminations ethniques demeurent très vives en Inde. La politique ethno-nationaliste et autoritariste menée par les gouvernements Modi depuis 2014, mets en avant « l'hindouité » de l'Inde, en dépit de la laïcité inscrite dans la Constitution. Fin 2019, une loi facilitant l'accès à la citoyenneté des réfugiés hindous avait levé une vague de protestation dans le pays. Celle-ci fut matée par une répression qui coûta la vie à 27 personnes. La minorité musulmane, qui compte pour près de 20% de la population est particulièrement prise pour cible. Les discriminations liées au genre ou à la caste sont aussi un grand enjeu, notamment dans les villages. Entre 2018 et 2020, le Parlement indien a recensé 139.000 crimes perpétrés envers les Dalits, une des castes inférieures dans la hiérarchie hindoue, soit un toutes les 18 minutes.Pour sa présidence du G20 en 2023, l'Inde demeure fidèle à sa doctrine d'équidistance et compte se faire le porte-voix du Sud global. Malgré́ la polarisation généralisée provoquée par la guerre en Ukraine, New Delhi maintient pour l'instant son partenariat stratégique avec la Russie, tout en dénonçant à demi-mot l'invasion, comme le fît Narendra Modi lors du sommet de Samarcande en septembre dernier. Les Américains ne cessent pourtant de draguer « la plus grande démocratie du monde », pour en faire une pièce centrale de leur présence dans l'Indo-Pacifique. Les Indiens parviennent-ils donc à garder la distance nécessaire avec Washington pour rester crédibles aux yeux du Sud ? Quelle relation peuvent-ils également envisager avec leur rival chinois qui est désormais leur premier partenaire commercial ?Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

French political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot's new book, Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy, is a comprehensive exploration of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi—its origins, policies, philosophy, and relationship to democracy. Patrick Heller of Brown University calls the book “the most detailed, theoretically sophisticated, and comprehensive analysis of the rise of Modi's BJP as a dominant electoral force.”Christophe joins Milan on the podcast to talk about Modi's rise to national prominence, his relationship with the Sangh Parivar, and the constraints that exist on his power. Plus, the two discuss the state of individual freedoms in India today and why Christophe believes that the BJP dominance under Modi represents a new political system in India, rather than just a new party system.Episode notes:Christophe Jaffrelot and Pratinav Anil, India's First Dictatorship: The Emergency, 1975-77 (Oxford University Press, 2021).Angana P.

Nỗi ám ảnh biến Ấn Độ thành một quốc gia Ấn giáo lớn hơn nỗi lo chống dịch bệnh Covid-19. Chính phủ của thủ tướng Narendra Modi bị cáo buộc quá mang nặng « tư tưởng dân túy-dân tộc », « ngạo mạn », « chống trí thức » và « bất tài », khiến đất nước rơi vào thảm kịch dịch tễ chưa từng thấy. Từ lâu, Ấn Độ được xem như là một ví dụ tiêu biểu về nền dân chủ nghị viện tự do trong số các nước Nam Á. Ngoài sự tách bạch về hành pháp và tư pháp, cũng như là quyền tự do ngôn luận, tính đa nguyên chính trị còn là nền tảng cho chế độ liên bang và cho sự đa dạng văn hóa, cả trong ngôn ngữ lẫn tôn giáo. Từ dân chủ thế tục đến dân chủ sắc tộc Nhưng kể từ khi ông Narendra Modi, một người mang nặng tư tưởng chủ nghĩa dân tộc Ấn Độ giáo, lên cầm quyền năm 2014, nền dân chủ đó đang dần bị xói mòn. Narendra Modi cho rằng đã đến lúc phải xem xét lại chủ nghĩa thế tục – một khái niệm cho phép duy trì mối liên hệ giữa Nhà nước và các nền tôn giáo – tồn tại ở Ấn Độ từ nhiều thập niên qua. Về điểm này, chuyên gia về Ấn Độ, bà Ingrid Therwath, nhà báo và giảng viên ngành báo chí trường đại học Khoa học Chính trị Sciences Po trên đài Arte có lưu ý : « Nhưng đó không phải là một sự thế tục theo kiểu Pháp. Một cách chính xác, chủ nghĩa thế tục ở đây là một sự cách đều giữa Nhà nước với tất cả các cộng đồng tôn giáo. Đó không phải là sự tách rời, một sự chối bỏ tôn giáo mà là một sự công nhận đồng đều tầm quan trọng của bảy nền tôn giáo lớn tại Ấn Độ, gồm Ấn Độ giáo, Hồi giáo, Phật giáo, Thiên chúa giáo, Sikh giáo, Kỳ Na giáo (Jaina giáo) và Hỏa giáo. » Xuất thân từ phong trào chủ nghĩa dân tộc Hindu, mà lực lượng chính trị chính yếu là đảng BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party – Đảng Nhân dân Ấn Độ), mang nặng tư duy « tính Ấn Độ giáo », Narendra Modi nhìn nhận vai trò ưu thế của cộng đồng người Hindu chiếm đa số đối với những sắc tộc thiểu số. Do đó, người theo đạo Hồi chiếm thiểu số phải là những công dân hạng hai. Từ quan điểm này, đảng BJP cầm quyền của thủ tướng Modi thực hiện tiến trình gọi là sắc tộc hóa nền dân chủ Ấn Độ. Ông ban hành một loạt các đạo luật cả ở cấp độ các bang lẫn chính quyền trung ương trong nhiều lĩnh vực từ văn hóa, chính trị, xã hội để rồi dần biến Ấn Độ thành một nền dân chủ sắc tộc pháp quyền. Nhà nghiên cứu Christophe Jaffrelot, giám đốc Trung tâm Nghiên cứu Quốc tế (CERI), cho rằng « Ấn Độ hiện không chỉ đang xây dựng một Hindu Rastra – một quốc gia Ấn Độ giáo, mà cả một Hindu Raj – nghĩa là một Nhà nước Hindu » (Tạp chí Questions Internationales số ra tháng 3-4/2021). Điều nghịch lý của nền dân chủ sắc tộc – một thuật ngữ do nhà xã hội học Israel Sammy Smooha đề ra để mô tả bản chất mâu thuẫn của chế độ Nhà nước Israel – buộc phải dựa trên những giá trị của chủ nghĩa cá nhân. Một số cột trụ của nền dân chủ vẫn tồn tại như các cuộc bầu cử vẫn được tổ chức đều đặn (ở mức tối thiểu), một nền tư pháp tương đối độc lập tạo vỏ bọc cho Nhà nước pháp quyền, và nhất là một nền báo chí có vẻ tự do cho thấy vẫn có tiếng nói đối lập, một sự đa dạng nào đó. Nhưng các công dân lại không được hưởng tất cả các quyền như nhau. Cộng đồng chiếm đa số áp đặt các biểu tượng bản sắc dân tộc của mình, cách thức sống và sự thống trị xã hội – chính trị đối với các sắc tộc thiểu số. Giới trí thức : Nạn nhân của Hindu hóa xã hội Chính ở điểm này người ta thấy rõ có những điểm tương hợp giữa chủ nghĩa dân túy và chủ nghĩa chuyên chế, như nhận xét của ông Christophe Jaffrelot : « Trên thực tế, rất nhiều phe dân túy đã vượt qua một bước mới : Tiếm lấy hết quyền lực. Chúng ta thấy sự trỗi dậy một chế độ chính trị mới trên khắp thế giới. Họ cần các cuộc bầu cử, đơn giản chỉ vì tính chính đáng của các chế độ dân túy – chuyên chế đó cần có được sự chấp thuận của người dân thông qua lá phiếu cử tri. Điều này đúng cho cả ông Erdogan, Bolsonaro thậm chí cả với ông Putin... » (France Culture ngày 01/05/2021) Xu hướng này đã được ông Narendra Modi thúc đẩy nhanh ngay từ nhiệm kỳ thủ tướng đầu tiên. Tiến trình Hindu hóa đã được thực hiện trong lĩnh vực công và những nạn nhân đầu tiên của làn sóng chủ nghĩa dân tộc Hindu là những tầng lớp trí thức, bị lên án vì tư tưởng « chủ nghĩa tự do » - một thuật ngữ kể từ giờ mang nghĩa xấu. Hệ quả là theo nhà nghiên cứu và nhà báo Ingrid Therwath, sự tự do ngôn luận ở Ấn Độ hầu như rất hạn hẹp. « Vụ ám sát nhà báo Gauri Lankesh tháng 9/2017 vẫn còn in đậm trong tâm trí. Người này bị sát hại chỉ vì cô ấy đi điều tra về những thành phần dân quân tự vệ người Hindu cực đoan (…) Các phóng viên điều tra, nhà báo độc lập và nhà báo đối lập phải chịu nhiều áp lực về thể chất, vật chất. Các ban biên tập thường xuyên bị sách nhiễu trên bình diện pháp lý, thuế khóa. » Quá trình Hindu hóa này còn thể hiện rõ qua việc viết lại lịch sử đất nước, thanh lọc sắc tộc trong bộ máy chính quyền, các công sở, dẫn đến tình trạng kỳ thị sắc tộc, rồi hình thành một cơ chế gọi là « cảnh sát văn hóa » nhằm ngăn cản các cuộc hôn nhân hỗn hợp giữa những người Ấn giáo và Hồi giáo. Trong khuôn khổ dự án « Quốc gia Hindu », chính quyền các bang do đảng BJP lãnh đạo còn ban hành nhiều đạo luật nhằm bảo vệ loài bò – con vật linh thiêng, biểu tượng của Ấn Độ Giáo, hay ngăn chặn sự đa dạng tôn giáo trong những thành phố lớn, bằng cách nghiêm cấm người Ấn giáo bán bất động sản cho những người thuộc các tôn giáo khác… Chủ nghĩa dân túy : Những nhà quản lý tồi Như cách nói của nữ ký giả Therwath, một chương « Ấn Độ thế tục của Nehru » – vị thủ tướng đầu tiên của Ấn Độ độc lập, tạm thời bị khép lại. Ấn Độ đang hướng dần đến một Nhà nước Ấn giáo – một Nhà nước dân chủ sắc tộc. Nhưng khủng hoảng dịch tễ xảy ra cho thấy rõ « những người mang nặng tư tưởng chủ nghĩa dân túy là những nhà quản lý tồi », theo như cách đánh giá của ông Christophe Jaffrelot. Trong cảnh hỗn loạn vì thiếu các phương tiện y tế và thuốc men trị bệnh, cách thức tốt nhất để ông Modi xử lý khủng hoảng là phủ nhận thực tế. Cũng như bao nhà lãnh đạo chuyên chế khác, từ Donald Trump cho đến Bolsonaro, hay như Erdogan, ông Modi « chưa bao giờ thừa nhận đó là một thất bại, một cú tát hay tất cả những gì gần giống với một sự đại bại cả » (The Print, được Courrier International ngày 06/5/2021 trích dẫn). Bất chấp dịch bệnh bùng phát mạnh trở lại ở Bombay, nhưng thủ tướng Modi trên diễn đàn Davos vẫn hùng hồn khẳng định « Ấn Độ đã thoát dịch, đất nước kể từ giờ sẽ dẫn đường nhân loại chống virus corona ». Với ông Jaffrelot, đó cũng chính là biểu hiện của « hội chứng chủ nghĩa dân túy-dân tộc », những hội chứng mà người ta có thể nhìn thấy ở Bolsonaro, Donald Trump, và giờ là ông Modi. « Đây chính là điểm yếu lớn thứ nhất, là kẽ hở cho những người mang tư tưởng chủ nghĩa dân túy – dân tộc khi cho mình vượt lên trên cả các chính sách của Nhà nước (…) Narendra Modi giờ đây không còn là người trần nữa mà tự cho mình đang trở thành một thánh nhân, một nhà hiền triết. Từ khi xảy ra khủng hoảng Covid, ông tự tạo cho mình hình ảnh nhân vật được biểu tượng bởi bộ râu bạc phơ mà ông cố tình để dài quá mức, để nói rằng tôi bây giờ ở nơi khác. Tôi là một nhà hiền triết, đúng hơn là một lãnh đạo tinh thần cho Ấn Độ, một vị giáo chủ cho thế giới ». Phủ nhận sự thật và những lời dối trá Nỗi ám ảnh Ấn Giáo hóa đất nước và nhà nước lớn đến mức khiến ông Modi xa rời với thực tế hiện tại, bỏ qua nhiều vấn đề kinh tế - xã hội cấp bách khác của đất nước, và đi đến một dạng phi lý, một yếu tố khác thúc đẩy nhanh dịch bệnh bùng phát ở Ấn Độ. Chuyên gia Christophe Jaffrelot giải thích tiếp : « Bởi vì khi người ta đã thần thánh hóa, đương nhiên họ được quyền có một lễ hội tụ tập đến hơn một triệu người, rằng người ta có thể dùng các sản phẩm từ bò để chữa bệnh và bộ trưởng Y Tế còn cấp phép chính thức cho các loại giả dược do những người thân cận với chính quyền chế ra. Ở đây người ta không chỉ có thuyết âm mưu, thông tin sai lệch, thông tin giả là những điều thường thấy ở phe chủ nghĩa dân túy, mà còn cả chuyện thần thánh hóa cả bộ máy phủ nhận sự thật và chuyên tung ra những lời dối trá ».   Tờ Caravan, một trong tạp chí độc lập chỉ trích chính phủ Modi mạnh mẽ nhất cho rằng sự suy sụp của Ấn Độ hiện nay còn là « hệ quả không thể tránh khỏi từ sự ủng hộ mù quáng » của người dân dành cho « một chính phủ chống trí thức ». Ông Christophe Jaffrelot, cho rằng cách điều hành chính phủ theo kiểu của ông Modi chính là sự chối bỏ những lời khuyên can, sự bác bỏ mọi ý kiến có thể đối nghịch với ông. Vì xung quanh ông Modi chỉ là những "Yes Men", chưa bao giờ dám nói những lời « nghịch nhĩ », nên người ta cũng không thể nghe được những điều các bang nói về tình hình ở địa bàn. Vẫn theo nhà Ấn Độ học, « cuộc khủng hoảng chế độ liên bang mà người ta đang thấy tại Ấn Độ hiện nay còn là một trong số những triệu chứng khác của những người mang tư tưởng dân túy – dân tộc. Trong bối cảnh dịch bệnh dữ dội, việc chính quyền các bang phải mua vac-xin với giá cao hơn so với giá mua của chính quyền liên bang, là điều chưa từng thấy. Việc phải mua vac-xin để tiêm ngừa đã là một sự lệch lạc trong tình cảnh hiện nay, nhưng giá bán khác nhau đây lại là một sai lầm khác. » Tóm lại, nỗi ám ảnh « Một Quốc gia Ấn giáo, Một Nhà nước Ấn giáo » của ông Narendra Modi và đảng BJP đã đánh quỵ Ấn Độ, biến đất nước thành một « gian phòng của mọi sự kinh dị » !

Most people who work on India regularly refer to India as the world’s largest democracy and the most enduring democracy in the developing world. However, they often have to footnote such statements with the caveat that India experienced a twenty-one-month period of Emergency Rule in the late 1970s during which democracy was placed in cold storage.A new book, India’s First Dictatorship--The Emergency 1975-1977, by Christophe Jaffrelot and Pratinav Anil breaks new ground in providing us with a comprehensive history and political analysis of this exceptional period.

Producer and Host: Sneha Visakha Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode Outro Music: Opheliea's Blues by Audionautix In the ninth episode of the Feminist City, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Dr. Mohsin Alam Bhat, Associate Professor, Jindal Global Law School. He is the principal investigator of the Housing Discrimination Project (HDP), a three-year empirical research project on urban rental housing discrimination in India. In this episode, they discuss the housing discrimination project and the nature of rental housing discrimination against Muslims in Indian cities such as Delhi and Mumbai. Dr. Bhat explains the modalities and narratives that underpin discriminatory practices against Muslims in the city and how ‘access' to housing networks differs for different groups in the city. He also highlights the need to understand the cost and impact of discrimination, not merely in terms of outcomes, but as an ongoing, affective process, that results in the construction of exclusionary cities. They also discuss the role of law in addressing discrimination and the importance of multidisciplinary engagements with the law.

While the notion of democracy had its birth in Ancient Greece and gained currency in the 18th century revolutions in France and America, it was in the 20th century that it became a global aspiration. Yet each nation that professes allegiance to democracy has a shifting definition of what the concept entails. A distinguished panel of speakers examine the constitutional safeguards as well as the civic attitudes that define the critical parameters of democractic process. Christophe Jaffrelot's recent publications include India’s First Dictatorship: The Emergency, 1975-1977, The Majoritarian State: How Hindu Nationalism is Changing India, and Dr. Ambedkar and Untouchability: Analysing and Fighting Caste.

Last week, India’s ruling party (the BJP) passed the Citizenship Amendment Act. The legislation grants a clear path to Indian citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Opponents pointed out flaws in the law almost as soon as it was introduced. The law fails to mention Muslim minorities who face persecution in their own countries, such as the Rohingyas in Myanmar. Critics see it as the latest step in the Hindu nationalist government’s steady march toward a Hindu nation-state. The move follows the revocation of Kashmir’s autonomy this summer, and two million people losing statehood in Northeast India after being left off of a national register of citizens. The list requires citizens to provide documents to prove Indian ancestry. Many Muslims fear that the National Register of Citizens will be enacted across India, leaving religious minorities in the world’s largest democracy in danger of losing their home. Union Home Minister Amit Shah twisted history to provide justification for the Citizenship Amendment Act, shouting to his colleagues in Parliament that decades ago it was the now opposition, Congress Party, that divided India and Pakistan along religious lines. As Indian historian Romila Thapar wrote in The New York Times earlier this year, “extreme nationalists require their own particular version of the past to legitimize their actions in the present.” This week, we go back to a piece reported by OTM Producer Asthaa Chaturvedi. She examines how Hindu nationalists are rewriting Indian history in the world’s largest democracy, with journalist Shoaib Daniyal, political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot, and sociology professor Nandini Sundar.

Pour éclairer les tensions récurrentes et même les combats épisodiques entre Inde et Pakistan, le Collimateur de l’IRSEM reçoit cette semaine Christophe Jaffrelot, directeur de recherches au CERI de Sciences Po, auteur notamment du Syndrome pakistanais (Fayard, 2013) et de L’Inde de Modi (Fayard, 2019). Avec Alexandre Jubelin, il commence par revenir sur la longue histoire des guerres indo-pakistanaises, qui commencent dès l’indépendance de 1947 par rapport à l’empire britannique et à la discorde autour du Cachemire (2:25) et se prolongent au cours de la Guerre froide (8:00), notamment en 1965 (13:30) et en 1971 (20:00). Puis ils abordent l’arrivée progressive du nucléaire dans cette relation à partir de 1974 et des premiers essais atomiques indiens (26:00), jusqu’à la période de diversification du conflit vers une dimension non-conventionnelle, au cours des années 1990 (30:00). L’étape suivante est le 11 septembre puis l’intervention américaine en Afghanistan, qui place le Pakistan dans une situation compliquée face à son allié américain, entre proximité avec les talibans et aide aux Etats-Unis (34:00), qui se complique encore avec le rapprochement de ces derniers avec l’Inde (40:30) puis avec les interventions de drones sur le territoire pakistanais et l’élimination d’Oussama Ben Laden (42:50). Enfin, ils abordent le durcissement récent et les tensions depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir de Narendra Modi en Inde en 2014 (46:50) — et du cas d’école que représente le conflit dans la réflexion sur l’arme atomique (53:15).

This week on the Grand Tamasha podcast, we bring you some special bonus content--a conversation Milan recorded with political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot in June 2019 in the aftermath of the momentous Indian general election. Christophe is one of the world’s best-known scholars of India, having written some of the field’s foundational texts dissecting caste politics and Hindu nationalism. In his conversation with Milan, Christophe discusses the factors that led to the BJP’s crushing victory in the 2019 election, starting with the magnetic charisma and “national populism” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two also debate the long-term implications of the election for the construction of a Hindu rashtra (nation), the future of secularism, and what the election portends for the future shape of politics in India’s south.
