“We live in complicated times. India is bursting with creativity. But the dark shadows of authoritarianism are also hovering over us, putting us all in often uncomfortable and sometimes dishonourable positions. We will have to find principled and intelligent ways of overcoming this condition.” ExVice Chancellor & Professor, Pratap Bhanu Mehta, in his farewell letter to his students at Ashoka University.

We’re honoured to have played host to one of the foremost intellectuals of our nation, Professor Pratap Bhanu Mehta, when he joined us at The Quorum in Gurgaon for a revealing conversation about the state of democracy, freedom of expression, and secularism in India, with journalist & author, Rajdeep Sardesai.

We are privileged to be sharing with the world, the ideas, opinions, and thoughts that were discussed and uncovered with The Q Community. We look forward to having Professor Mehta back at The Quorum in Gurgaon as well as Mumbai for many more impactful conversations and worldchanging ideas, in the very near future.
