A group of Indian-origin academics in Britain has slammed the BJPs prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his authoritarian nature which they said can only weaken Indias democracy. Around 75 academics from universities across Britain, led by Chetan Bhatt of the London School of Economics, Tuesday expressed their collective concern over the upcoming government in India, through a letter, titled The idea of Modi in power fills us with dread to The Independent newspaper in Britain. Among others in the group are Oxford Universitys Nandini Gooptu and Cambridge Universitys Joya Chatterji. We are deeply concerned at the implications of a Narendra Modi-led BJP government for democracy, pluralism and human rights in India, the group said in the letter.
