In this interview recorded in 2020, the late Professor Jagdeep S Chhokar explains how the nexus between politics and big business in India became stronger after the Bharatiya Janata party came to power. One of the founders of the Association for Democratic Reforms that has spearheaded reforms to election processes in the country, Prof Chhokar explains how Indian and foreign corporate bodies fund political parties and election campaigns. RIP Professor Chhokar. Indian democracy has become stronger because of your path-breaking initiatives and will be all the more weaker without you.
