Civilizationalism - The East (Part 2) with Anvesh Jain

In this two-part conversation, I discuss civilizationalism as a new force in global politics with Anvesh Jain. Part 1 covers the Western half of Eurasia &#8212; the West and Russia, while Part 2 covers the Eastern half of Eurasia &#8212; India and China. In Part 2 we discuss why the state-society power balance is so different in India and China, whether civilizationalism in Asia is a new form of anti-colonialism, the role of religion in India and China, Confucianism and state ideology, how the British changed the caste system, tianxia as an inter-civilizational system, the dynamic between cultural Sinification and modern notions of Chinese ethnicity, the difference between civilizational capacity and civilizationality, whether Indic civilization is constitutional, why the BJP are rehabilitating Gandhi, whether Nepal is the &#8216;real Hindustan&#8217;, why East Asian civilizationalism is marred by geopolitics, where America fits within civilizationalism, why Western policymakers must get to grips with civilizational thinking, whether civilizationalism can contribute to world peace, and many more topics. <br/><br/>You can see the visual overlay that follows our conversation on YouTube.
