AB - India, with a rich history of more than 5000 years, the last seven decades of which have been as a modern independent state, is a vibrant democracy in which freedom is cherished, if not always realized, as society progresses amid contradictions and paradoxes. In this article, the author argues that only creative debate and dialogue can make India a viable player in the globalized world of today. In the first part, the author highlights the contribution of Amartya Sen, who equates genuine freedom with enabling development and fostering the capabilities for all citizens. He then turns to the present state of political freedom and democracy in India through the analysis of Mukulika Banerjee. This takes him to the problem of corruption in India and the promise and failings of the Anna Hazare movement’s attempt to address it. In the final sections the author turns to literary and journalistic depictions of Indian modernity that lead him the conclusion that only respectful, on-going dialogue among all players can merge the entangled stories of India within a global Indian identity.
