"Play is a superior form of seriousness. Playfulness allows a possibility of self-discovery, a possibility of surprise. Gandhi was an ethical clown. Europe is afraid of the outsider. The problem of dealing with migration is the problem of dealing with outsiders' permanence. Europe is faced with the territoriality of fears, India is faced with the territoriality of time. India is afraid of its insiders. Public intellectuals synthesize visions, play the role of dissenters, and are hearing aids to the silences of modernity." Dr, Shiv Vishvanathan, it's a great pleasure listening to you.
