Final Solution was shot over two and a half years by the Indian filmmaker Rakesh Sharma. It tells the story of a massacre of Muslims committed in the western state of Gujarat. It investigates the relationship between the BJP and those who instigated, and actually carried out the killings.

For outsiders, it has three merits. Firstly it is an extraordinary and convincing film. Secondly, it offers a very rare insight into the details of democracy in India, and one that shouldn't encourage people to be snooty about its practices.

Thirdly, it alarmingly suggests that Adolf Hitler's and Benito Mussolini's inventions were not confined to Europe. The BJP dresses up in saffron gear, but its conduct is that of a mid-20th-century fascist party. It is capable of fomenting plots in order to legitimise violence, and it nurses the most violent racial hatreds. Although the BJP's vote went down in the last elections, it is hard to watch this film and not be alarmed by the prospect of Hindu fascism.
