    What Congress manifesto actually says about 'wealth redistribution'

    Usually, manifestos exist on the sidelines of Indian politics – they are barely even read. But for this election, the Congress manifesto is creating waves for its programme of social and economic equity. Prime Minister Modi has accused the Congress of wanting to "redistribute" the wealth of Hindus to Muslim – a point that fact checkers have said is false. The Congress has also been criticised by many for being too aggressively "socialist" and attacking private property. To explain and unpack what the Congress says about equity and redistribution, for Scroll Ideas, Shoaib Daniyal talks to Praveen Chakravarty, a key member of the party's manifesto committee.

    What is it like being a Muslim in India today?

    With 200 million Muslims, India has the third largest population of Muslims of any country on the planet. For nearly a millennium now, Muslims have been a part of India’s mainstream, contributing to its art, culture, politics and economy. However, of late, many Muslims feel a sense of alienation – even of siege – as a new majoritarianism grips India. In this new book, “Being Muslim in Hindu India”, veteran journalist and commentator, Ziya Us Salam details instances of Muslim marginalisation in India. Scroll Ideas speaks to Salam, currently an Associate Editor with the Hindu in Delhi, to understand how things got to such a stage and what young Muslims should do to navigate the current circumstances.

    What does Hindutva popular culture look like?

    Hindutva is India's most powerful and popular political ideology. Yet, there seems to be little study of how it works on the ground. Kunal Purohit's new book "H-Pop: The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars" fills that gap by looking at the popular culture of Hindu nationalism. We talk to Kunal to explore his research and understand how Hindutva became as widespread as it did. This is a special episode of "Scroll Ideas" recorded in The Bookshop in Delhi in front of a live audience. Host: Shoaib Daniyal Producer: Karnika Kohli Assistant Producer: Avinash Kumar
