Prest Theatre, FBE Theatre 1, Room G06. 111 Barry Street, Carlton VIC 3053
India is one of the world’s oldest and most diverse civilisations and the largest democracy in the world. However, freedom of expression for many Indians is increasingly at risk. As the country approaches its 70th year of independence, concerns about liberal freedoms are growing with increasing sedition charges and the steady rise of identity politics.
Hosted by Asialink and the Australia-India Institute, one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals, Ramachandra Guha, will share insights on freedom of expression in a multicultural and secular India, and discuss the challenges for India’s democracy in the years ahead.
