Acclaimed poet and critic, K. Satchidanandan, speaks on Upholding India's Pluralism at the Idea of India conclave. Emphasising that plurality is central to a genuine understanding of the idea of India, he says that though people at large see diversity as natural, colonialists and fundamentalists have always seen it as an obstacle. He makes a distinction between people's idea of plurality, the market idea of plurality and the statist idea of plurality and juxtaposes them with Hindutva thought, which sees people as a monolith. Recognising Hindutva's fascist nature, he says that resistance from the people, although more difficult, is more necessary at this juncture.
