The State of Global Democracy: Insights with Professor Rajmohan Gandhi
In this episode of In Conversation With, we are honored to host Professor Gandhi, a distinguished historian and scholar. Join us as we delve into the current state of democracy worldwide, examining whether it is truly in retreat as some argue, or if there are signs of resilience and hope. Professor Gandhi shares his unique perspectives on the rise of far-right movements in Europe, the surprising outcomes of recent elections in India, and the evolving role of India on the global stage. We also explore the enduring influence of Gandhian thought on modern democracy and the power of nonviolent action in today's world. Lastly, Professor Gandhi reflects on the role of scholars beyond academia, drawing from his extensive work in both historical research and public activism.
Our host for this episode is Tripurdaman Singh, a researcher with the Institute's Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.
