The most important cultural resource that India has to protect, foster and offer to the world is its legacy of pluralism, belief in all its multiple faith and traditions, Gopalkrishna Gandhi has said, cautioning that he fears this may be squandered by “sheer default and neglect.”
Mr. Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, was in conversation with economist Swaminathan Aiyar and venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani at a panel discussion at the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) New York.
The panel discussion at the Asia Society in New York on Wednesday was moderated by Ramu Damodaran, a Senior Fellow at the Center for Social and Economic Progress in New Delhi and Honorary Adviser to the Permanent Observer Mission of the University for Peace to the United Nations.
