'Extraordinary ... exposes a powerful alliance, hidden from the global attention and media' - Ilan PappeUnder Narendra Modi, India has changed dramatically. As the world attempts to grapple with its trajectory towards authoritarianism and a 'Hindu Rashtra' (Hindu State), little attention has been paid to the linkages between Modi's India and the governments from which it has drawn inspiration, as well as military and technical support.India once called Zionism racism, but, as Azad Essa argues, the state of Israel has increasingly become a cornerstone of India’s foreign policy. Looking to replicate the 'ethnic state' in the image of Israel in policy and practice, the annexation of Kashmir increasingly resembles Israel's settler-colonial project of the occupied West Bank. The ideological and political linkages between the two states are alarming; their brands of ethnonationalism deeply intertwined.Hostile Homelands puts India's relationship with Israel in its historical context, looking at the origins of Zionism and Hindutva; India’s changing position on Palestine; and the countries' growing military-industrial relationship from the 1990s. Lucid and persuasive, Essa demonstrates that the India-Israel alliance spells significant consequences for democracy, the rule of law and justice worldwide.

On October 7, just hours after the Hamas-led attacks in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu received his first call from a world leader. It did not come from Washington or London, but from New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call set the tone for what followed: unconditional political, diplomatic, and economic support as Israel went on to decimate Gaza in an act of genocide.While much of the global attention has focused on the Western involvement in the war on Gaza, The Architecture of Complicity shifts the focus on a decisive but unexamined actor - India. It documents how India, an influential player in the Global South, enabled this violence through diplomatic shielding, rhetorical alignment with Israel's 'counter-terrorism' discourse, increased trade and through the recruitment of Indian labour to replace expelled Palestinian workers.Drawing on original reporting and analysis, Azad Essa shows how Gaza became a key site for the consolidation of India's authoritarian project, revealing how the self-described 'world’s biggest democracy' moved closer to become the world's largest fascist state.
