For his new book, A Question of Order, Basharat Peer spent a year and a half traveling across India and Turkey to uncover the alarming, illiberal drift these countries have engineered and the terrible human toll it has exacted. Through a combination of right-wing populism, majoritarian politics, and aggressive nationalism, the two countries provide a shocking warning to what many say are the same strongmen tendencies spreading across the globe—including here at home.

Join New America NYC and The India Center Foundation for the release of Basharat Peer's A Question of Order and for a conversation on what seem to be illusory promises of liberal democracy and the people fighting to protect it.
