Virt India
Indian democracy has long been hailed as an expression of hope and possibility for the postcolonial world. Beyond the tropes of the world’s largest democracy, however, is the truth that India remains a deeply unequal society where millions must fight for their fundamental civic and socioeconomic rights, often in the face of a hostile State. How has the human rights landscape in India evolved over time? How has civil society fared under successive Indian Governments? What lies ahead for the country?
Join us for a conversation with Aakar Patel (Chair, Amnesty International India) and Meenakshi Ganguly (South Asia Director, Human Rights Watch), to understand the evolving human rights landscape in India on Wednesday, the 25th of May, from 6 – 7PM PST.
Organized through the CSA-Markaz Fellowship program
Speakers:
Aakar Patel, Chair of the Amnesty International in India
Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director at Human Rights Watch
