Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The three largest democracies—India, the USA, and Indonesia—are now led by **authoritarian figures** who utilize celebrity and social media to attain power.
  • India's **Narendra Modi**, Donald Trump, and **Prabowo Subianto** of Indonesia exemplify a shift where voting undermines liberal democracy rather than supports it.
  • The article argues that global electoral outcomes show a rejection of **liberal values** like tolerance and openness, rather than democracy itself.
  • This trend is attributed to **three global crises**: terrorism, economic collapse, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have diminished faith in liberalism.
  • To combat this erosion, the author emphasizes the need for a **cultural and spiritual movement** to foster collective human values over partisan politics.
