Democratic politics in India faces a deep challenge, with consolidation in India's media landscape, the weaponisation of law, and the erosion of institutional independence in the midst of politics of religious polarisation.

How should we make sense of Indian politics in flux? How can aspiring politicians, activists or citizen make a meaningful intervention? Join Yogendra Yadav, former academic and a political activist, and Maya Tudor, Professor of Politics and Public Policy, for an open and frank discussion about how we make sense of India's political developments of the last decade.

Please note this event takes place in person only.
