The Crisis of Extremes: A meditation on Indian politics: SU Current Affairs Lecture Series
Developments in India since the mid 1980?s signify the breakdown of consensual politics and the ideal of composite Indian nationhood. Communal animosity has corroded the social conscience, contributed to a disregard of human life, and led to the decay of a reliable criminal justice system. Radical rhetoric these days covers all shades of the political spectrum – the reality today is that extremism is a mainstream phenomenon. We need to rediscover the virtues of moderation.
