Politics is the art of listening | Hertie School, Berlin | Rahul Gandhi

At the Hertie School in Berlin, I spoke about politics as the art of listening and how it shapes democracy, production, and India’s future in a noisy world. What we are witnessing in India is an attack on the core idea of the Constitution that every Indian has equal value, regardless of caste, religion, language, gender, or state. When the voting system is weakened, the message is clear - some lives matter more than others. That is not democracy. India’s democratic experiment - an economic and political union of 1.4 billion people - is not just an Indian asset; it is a global public good. Protecting democracy in India means protecting democracy everywhere. And most importantly, India needs a democratic model of production - one that creates jobs, spreads opportunity, values skills, and delivers real economic growth with dignity. Done right, this model can help fuel global growth and offer the world a more inclusive path to prosperity. #rahulgandhi, #राहुल_गांधी _ • Vote Chori: votechori.in • WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va4UV6wEgGfQZv5KY12z • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rahulgandhi • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rahulgandhi • Twitter: https://twitter.com/rahulgandhi • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rahulgandhi _ ⓒ Copyright and ownership of this audio-visual content belongs to Rahul Gandhi.
