India is grappling with mounting challenges to its democracy – a surprising 2024 election, intersecting economic and political insecurities, and stress tests for its human-rights-based constitution.

Anand Grover, a world-renowned lawyer and human rights activist, will join Professor Michele Bratcher Goodwin and Professor Matthew Kavanagh for a conversation about the current state of India and what the challenges to democracy reveal about the future of law, health, and human rights in a multi-crisis world.
