About this listen
We define a state as the entity that has a monopoly on violence. But does political authority lead to political legitimacy? How do we define legitimacy? What happens without it? How should we approach it as citizens.
Welcome to Episode 98 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.
In this episode, Ajay draws from political philosophy to expand on the intricacies of the concept of political legitimacy. And at the end, Amit gives an impassioned monologue on why it may not even matter in India!
