The concept of civilisation, by a span of millenia, precedes the concept of nation state. In an information age, what we need is a civilised society in continuous pursuit of liberty, equality and fraternity more than a democratic society defined by periodical elections. For this, we need to conjure bridges across nations, not construct walls to reinforce boundaries that are characterised by animosity for the ‘other’. In this, if the ‘other’ at times takes the form of a majority, it is, for the most part, due to our intolerance.
