It was important to highlight how Narendra Modi is governing India and causing massive democratic deficits. Such voices would never find a place in the official G20 or C20 engagement groups.

This is why the We20 Peoples’ Summit was organised between August 18 and 20, 2023 by the Working Group on IFIs at the HKS Surjeet Bhavan of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Modi could have issued a direction to all his cabinet colleagues and ensured there were ministry representatives attending and listening to what people from across India – most of who had come with their own resources – were saying. Was the Modi administration so scared of learning the truth that it instead chose to shut down the We20 Peoples’ Summit?
