Join us for an engaging Zoom event with Srirupa Roy as she discusses The Political Outsider: Curative Democracy and the Lineages of Populism. In this illuminating book, Roy examines the emergence of the political outsider as a prominent figure in Indian democracy, emphasizing their role in “curative democracy” aimed at remedying a fractured political system. By analyzing the pivotal events of the long 1970s, including the suspension and restoration of democracy, she reveals how these concepts intertwine with contemporary populism and authoritarianism. Roy’s work prompts us to reconsider democracy through the lens of the Indian experience, offering critical insights into the broader trajectory of global democratic politics.
