Prof. Kaushik Gangopadhyay in conversation with Akshay Raghav discusses his book
'The Majoritarian Myth: How Unscientific Social Theories Create Disharmony'.
The book analyses why majoritarianism is a deeply flawed idea and challenges conventional perspectives on Societal Dynamics. The book, scientifically and engagingly, demonstrates that it is flawed to blame the majority for any social intolerance. He also goes on to discuss what he calls
Linear Theory of Social Evolution and Disharmony and Majoritarianism in Global Media.
