Just as India's aspiration has lifted to building 'world-class' statues, temples, bullet trains, airports and digital systems, the undermining of some of the real achievements of democracy, federalism and nation-building stand in the way.</p><p> </p><p>“A Sixth of Humanity”<em> </em>is an attempt to trace how one of the largest and most diverse countries in the world, uniquely and daringly, attempted four concurrent transformations—building a state, creating an economy, changing society and forging a sense of nationhood-under conditions of universal suffrage.</p><p><strong>Event Details</strong></p><p>This event is open to Harvard ID holders only and registration is required. The event will be recorded.</p><p>The Ash Center encourages individuals with disabilities to participate in its events.
