Download or read book Between Hope and Despair written by Rajeev Bhargava and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's collective ethical identity is under duress. We don't seem to currently agree on what our collective good is. Some groups believe that India is finally rediscovering its Hindu identity and becoming a great nation-state. For others, this change has brought us on the verge of losing our civilisational character of being inclusive but not any less Hindu or Indian. Rajeev Bhargava believes that the legitimate concerns of all those disenchanted with the idea of an inclusive, pluralist India can actually be addressed within the basic framework of India's constitutional democracy. Through these short, elegant and lucid reflections, he takes the readers back to the founding narrative of the republic, suggesting that if we get the fundamentals of our original ethical vision right, then, we might yet save our country from further polarisation and may even heal some of its divisions.
