This is a BBC Documentary Video. Narendra Modi ( now the Prime Minister of India ) served as the Chief Minister in the Indian state of Gujarat, from 2001 to 2014. During his tenure, he was marked by controversy, particularly in relation to the 2002 Gujarat riots, in which more than 1000 people, mostly Muslims were killed and 150,000 people displaced.
