Abstract

The renowned American lawyer Cass Sunstein, in his splendid book Why Societies Need Dissent,2 explicated the view long held amongst exponents of theoretical democracy that dissent is the leaven which propels societies to be productive, innovative, creative, attractive to human beings from diverse cultural backgrounds; that dissent unleashes the regenerative capacities which enable societies to thrive and not atrophy.
