Democracy is meant to reflect the will of the people, yet when demographic segmentation is weaponized, this often fuels the politics of projection. Fault-lines are drawn to define the exercise of othering: us vs them. At the heart of global debates about power, identity, and democracy, lies the concept of majoritarianism. In an era where the voices of majorities are often framed as inherently oppressive, it's easy to overlook the complexities that shape these narratives. But what if, in various contexts, the idea of a "tyranny of the majority" is not just oversimplified, but fundamentally flawed? In this episode of Satya Samvad, we explore these questions through the lens of the book The Majoritarian Myth by Prof. Kausik Gangopadhyay. This provocative book challenges the conventional understanding of majoritarianism, particularly in Bharat, where the term has become a buzzword for various sections of the political spectrum. The conception of linear theories of social evolution (LTSEs) and instances of conflict and polarization in modern society is deliberated on.
