The Role of Religion in National Identity | Expert interview Fernand de Varennes | ICHR-project

In this video, Dr. Fernand de Varennes, Former UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues, explores how national identity often reflects the religion and language of the majority, and how this can sometimes lead to the marginalization of certain minorities, with a focus on the situations in Assam, India, and the Rohingyas in Myanmar.
