Is India the Next Authoritarian State?
from Kwok ’n’ Roll · host Kwok Pui Lan
Postcolonial theologian Kwok Pui Lan dialogues with Indian ecofeminist theologian Aruna Gnanadason — former director of the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation program of the World Council of Churches — to ask the question no one in faith circles wants to answer: Is India sliding toward authoritarianism, and what does the church do about it? From the uncanny parallels between Modi and Trump, to the BJP's manipulation of the women's movement, to what indigenous Indian women can teach the global church about earth care and resistance — this conversation is urgent, grounded, and prophetic. Aruna Gnanadason is the author of Listen to the Women, Listen to the Earth, and a decades-long leader in Asian feminist and ecofeminist theology.
