20 November 2015: How much is Modi changing India and how should the UK and Europe respond? by Ecfr on Mixcloud

To mark the launch of ECFR's latest collection of essays What does India think, our panel will explore whether Prime Minister Modi faces expectations that are too high – internally and externally – to promote the economic development of India as well as to improve governance. What is the mood in the country and should Europe, India’s biggest market and trading partner, adopt a new strategy?
