Prevent dismantling of Indian secular democracy: Chomsky

‘Richness, variety come from the differences among us’

Voicing his concern over a perceived rise in efforts to dismantle the Indian secular democracy and establish a Hindu ethnocracy, eminent thinker Noam Chomsky has called for efforts to prevent it.

“India had been a flourishing democracy and a model to the world in many ways. To see that destroyed is a real human tragedy and every effort should be made to prevent it,” he said.

He was interacting with the audience after delivering online the CA Sheppard Memorial Lecture, organised by the Department of English, St.Berchmans College, Changanassery, on Monday.
