Abstract: Drawing on her recent book (Stanford University Press, 2024), Srirupa Roy will examine how the political outsider came to be a valorized figure of Indian democracy, tasked with the urgent mission of curing a diseased and broken democratic system.
Jointly sponsored by the “South Asia’s Freedom in Global Perspective” Seminar of the Weatherhead Center, the Harvard Asia Center, and the GSAS Workshop on “Indian Ocean Worlds”.
