| Opplysninger | Critics of cosmopolitanism often assert that it is arrogant, giving too little attention to local ties and non-universalist moral views. This book argues that an appropriate response involves not a retreat from cosmopolitan principles but support for regional and global political institutions more clearly oriented to political humility, where individuals could give broader input and lodge challenges as formal equals. It is centrally informed by the work of Indian constitutional architect and social campaigner B.R. Ambedkar, who championed forms of domestic political humility against the segregation and "arrogance" of caste. It also draws on extensive field research among Indian Dalit activists who have used UN human rights bodies to press for domestic reforms, their critics in the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, and UK "Brexit" supporters denouncing European Union regional democracy.
