Abhijit Iyer Mitra: Was Indian Independence a result of Hindu resilience to genocide & colonization?

In this interaction, hosted by Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar, Mr. Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, outspoken commentator on contemporary socio-political and strategic realities of Hindus, in a modern Purvapaksha that addresses Dharma, realities of Hindus, modern 'ecosystems', tendency of Indians to undertake isomorphic mimicry, the true essence of Independence of a people beyond political liberation, Partition, nature of democracy, role of intelligentsia and indigenisation of defense procurements . Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar with Abhijit Iyer-Mitra discuss how Dharma has been the cornerstone of the Indic civilisation over millennia, infusing us with a certain resilience and cosmopolitanism, and yet today we see our way of life and our people facing various existential threats, arguably more so around our collective consciousness and ethos as a people. The need for decolonisation is pertinent, as is assessing and understanding the intricacies and nuances of problems we face as a people.
