| Institution: | Indian writer and historian. Among his many books are An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World and From the Ruins of Empire. He recently spoke to NPQ about the themes of his new book Age of Anger—the revolt against cosmopolitan elites, the “subjectivization of ‘facts’” and the fragmentation of the media. “Complacent elites” enabled “a treacherously volatile troll in the White House,” he said, and we're also “plunging faster into the endgame of a whole civilization.” This piece has been edited and condensed for clarity. |
