Abstract

The recent arrest of Newsclick editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha is a chilling development in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign of repression against free media. The current "moral panic" being mobilized against Purkayashta, Sam Popowich notes, represents Modi's attempt to gain popular legitimacy for his Hindutva program and silence dissent.
