In this episode, Pragya Tiwari and Mukulika Banerjee take a step back from the news cycle to reflect on the broader question of democracy and how we can ‘cultivate’ it.
They use the idea of ‘cultivating democracy’ as a framework to look at the socio-political faultlines that impact the health of democracies world over.
The discussion is based on Mukulika’s recent inaugural lecture at the London School of Economics. It also links with Pragya’s work as a journalist, on how democracy manifests and operates on ground. This broad discussion on democratic ethos travels from rural farmlands to international universities and attempts to supplement conversations on democratic rights and institutions.
