An Audience with Sathnam Sanghera
The Asian Communications Network (ACN)—co-founded by our CEO,?Farzana Baduel—continues to lead essential conversations on the future of global media.?
At An Audience with Sathnam Sanghera, the acclaimed author and journalist delivered a thought-provoking discussion on Britain’s imperial legacy and its modern-day parallels. He explored how the East India Company once shaped the British state—much like Big Tech now wields influence over the U.S. government. The names have changed, but the power dynamics remain?familiar.
Sathnam also spoke candidly about the growing backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion, the dangers of manipulated narratives in the digital age, and why history seems to be repeating itself in real-time.
Hosted by Farzana Baduel,?the evening was an important?reminder that the past isn’t as far behind us as we think.
