Intellectuals and scholars from India, Europe and other parts of the world will debate the issue of increasingly "pluralist" and fast-evolving democracies under pressure by populist movements, now often expressed by ethnic-religious radicalism, anti-politics, 'majorities' expressing resentment against minorities, rejection of dialogue and by widespread conflict.
FREE ENTRY - The conference will be held in English
