Writer and journalist Aatish Taseer returns to India, the country of his birth, to explore the changes in this deeply religious but secular nation.
It takes an in-depth look at tensions between Hindus and Muslims and how the intransigent government of the country's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has fueled anger between Indians of different faiths.
Cows are a sensitive subject in India: sacred for Hindus and a commodity for Muslims. Taseer meets the families of cow traders and herders who have become targets of Hindu nationalist anger.
Aatish also meets Hindus who believe Muslim men are forcing Hindu women to convert to Islam as a form of "Love Jihad" – and discovers how far they are willing to go to prevent the Hindu women to marry Muslim men.
It also examines the country's history of religious rule, dating back to the Mughal Empire and beyond. He seeks answers to why India is in this situation today and what lies ahead for this religiously diverse and secularly-principled nation.
