Our increasingly polarized society is now faced with the question: will India follow the ethnic nationalist route that seems to be becoming a global phenomenon? reconciling difference is the attempt of a concerned citizen and scholar to understand the nature of hate and violence prevalent in India, and find practical ways to restore peace and harmony. In his analysis, Rudolf C. Heredia urges citizens to seek frameworks beyond retributive justice.
