Pankaj Mishra on India as a pluralistic model for Europe

Pankaj Mishra is an Indian author who divides his time between London and India. He compares Europe's community to India's "many religions and languages, and inequalities of caste and class ... Aware that the potential for conflict between religious and ethnic communities was immense, India's founding fathers hoped to build a pluralist democracy. Much has happened since the bloody partition of India to taint their ideals. ... The scale of political-religious violence in India dwarfs anything suffered by western Europe in the postwar era. Yet India's unique liberal tradition, which respects minority identity and community belonging, remains central in the country's intellectual life. ... Postcolonial Indians are bewildered to see liberal politicians and intellectuals in Europe embrace a majoritarian nationalism, recoiling from what, by Indian standards, seems a very limited experience of social diversity and political extremism."
