Brian Klaas, Helena Kennedy, Salman Khurshid, and Sunil Khilnani in conversation with Ornit Shani

The idea of democracy is under interrogation around the world and democratic practices are under siege. A panel examines definitions of democracy, seeking to understand the fundamental principles that enable ‘the rule of the people ’. Ornit Shani is a scholar of the politics and modern history of India and the author of the recent How India became Democratic. Brian Klaas is an American political scientist and columnist at the Washington Post as well as a Fellow in Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Baroness Helena Kennedy is a barrister, broadcaster, writer, and Labour member of the House of Lords. Sunil Khilnani is a scholar of Indian history and politics, best known as the author of The Idea of India. Salman Khurshid is an eminent Indian politician, lawyer, and writer. This distinguished panel comes together to discuss the unsteady dance of democracy in the face of global capitalism, the political backlash, and neo-religious regressions in India and across the world.
