Instead, it is the symptom of a larger malaise: the death of dialogue and the rapid rise of a binary public discourse. Over the last five years I have flagged this problem of a binary discourse in several columns (citing two: India’s binary obsession and The shrinking space for dialogue). The growth in social media has created the perfect ecosystem for the spread of a binary discourse. This is exactly the problem with a binary discourse narrative. If not the Indian Republic is at risk of being overwhelmed by the threat from within.
