with J. Sai Deepak
What does it really mean to decolonise?
In this powerful and incisive interview, the famous author and Indian Supreme Court Advocate, J. Sai Deepak, shares his thoughts on the urgent need for a mental de-coloniality.
We discuss the vital role of the British Hindu diaspora, the "self-loathing tendency" he believes is holding the community back, the colonial biases within India's constitution, and the grand vision for a future 'Pax Indica'. This is a landmark conversation that challenges us to rethink the very foundations of modern Indian and Hindu identity.

Over the past three centuries we have seen wealth harnessed by individuals, organisations and governments to drive the engine of progress, yet there is a growing consensus that we need to fundamentally shift our paradigms around wealth creation and align market players to more sustainable ends.
Wealth
A civilisation’s corpus of literary and artistic work acts as a storehouse of collective cultural experience and learned wisdom, against which we can examine and evaluate the sustainability of modern phenomena such as identity politics. This vertical aims to use sustainable measures of progress, which may be encoded in ancient literature, to challenge both the postmodern upheaval of ideas and also grand institutions like the scientific method.
