Navid Kalhoroudi

*What does it mean to be a nation? Are we one?* We started this episode of “Baziya” by asking Navid Kalhoroudi: why don't we feel, the way we used to, that there is a single “us”?! To be “us”, do we have to think alike? Is the majority always right? What can keep different people together? And when “the people” stand against “the people”, which “us” are we even talking about? This episode is about one of the hardest questions we face today: Is there still something that connects us, the people of Iran? Navid Kalhoroudi — researcher and political analyst, a political science graduate of Kharazmi University and the University of Tehran, and a former lecturer at the University of Tehran — is this episode's guest. Dr Kalhoroudi, whose research covers political thought, national identity and Iran's social and political change, answers questions about today's divisions in Iranian society, unity, disagreement, what people expect of one another, and what it means to be “a nation”.
