Podcast
QuoteUnQuote with KK and Prof Salvatore Babones on The Dharma, Karma and Artha of Indian Democracy. India’s democratic ethos is deeply intertwined with dharma and karma. The wheel in the center of the Indian flag symbolizes this moral cycle—reminding both citizens and leaders of their duties and consequences. Artha is the outcome of the democratic system.
India has its own version of literature, books and writings on democracy and how to rule Bharat right through the Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharat, Chanakiya Niti, etc. But if we were to link these to the neo classical view of Prof Babones, we are going to pull all the issues using the podcast on happiness with Dr Devdutt Patnaik on Dharma, Karma and Artha and map it the concept of Democracy. We will leave the Moksha of the political, the governance, the bureaucratic and the legal constitutional honchos class as a topic for another time for a podcast. This Podcast fully discuss Prof Babones book,
but focus on what’s next and link it to his book and his penchant for Challenging Western academic orthodoxy; Defending empirical rigor over ideological bias; Advocating for culturally grounded models of democracy—especially in non-Western contexts like India.
