I am always interested in India's history because there are so many lessons that Americans can learn through reading Indian history. Such as how India put together it's constitution versus how America put together it's constitution. It seems to me that it is difficult for constitutions to work when they have to balance so many competing interests. But India seems to be holding better together lately. America seems to be fracturing badly beyond repair. And a look at India's history might be instructive as to why this is so much the case.
America seems to be fracturing, as does the West. And there is too much violence. This is the same in India. Here, I have noticed the first steps where people are resisting violent groups that claim to represent Hinduism. We shall see. The question always is: what is history?
