His research and writings in political theory focus on comparative political secularism, multiculturalism, and religious and secular identities. He is a spirited defender of the principled distance model of Indian secularism, responding deftly to internal and external critics. In this conversation, Bhargava joined Berkley Center Senior Fellow José Casanova to discuss Indian secularism, as well as comparative secularism globally. They examined the particular challenges that majoritarian Hindu nationalism presents to Indian secularism, the relationship between dual global crises of secularism and of democracy, and how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting both. They also discussed U.S.-Indian relations in the context of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. This conversation was the seventh in the Global Religious and Secular Dynamics Discussion Series.
