In the context of the discussions on BP about the nation-statesĀ of India and Pakistan, this is a very important debate.
For more than a century, the nation-state has shaped how we organise the world, offering unity for some and division for others. In this Doha Debates Town Hall, filmed live in partnership with the Bradford Literature Festival, we ask: Where does national belonging come from? Is it defined by culture and citizenship? Or does it go beyond the nation-state? Moderated by Malika Bilal, this live debate brings together guests Shashi Tharoor, Wael Hallaq and David Engels, along with university students from Qatar Foundationās Education City and beyond, to discuss the future of the nation-state on the same stage, in front of a live audience.
The Indian Muslim girl at 34:15 is the most interesting.
Yes, I thought her pushback to Shashi Tharoor was very well done.
Personally, I was most impressed by Dr. Wael Hallaq who argued that the entire model of the nation-state is flawed.
Is he the chap!
Conflicting incentives. She’s a liberal journalist out for attention.
