: Contemporary Debates and Mario Vargos LlosaContemporary Debates and Mario Vargos Llosa.
Mario Vargos Llosa is a Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, essayist and college professor. In 2010 he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat"
He expounds on his theories of freedom and the individual and talks about his new book, La llamada de la tribu, or, The Call of the Tribe, which argues in favor of liberal thought in reference to seven influential authors: Adam Smith, José Ortega y Gasset, Friedrich von Hayek, Karl Popper, Raymond Aron, Isaiah Berlin and Jean-François Revel.
Mario Vargas Llosa opinions on the issues related to 'liberals', 'nationalism', 'populism', 'greatest challenge to Democracy', 'intellectual honesty', 'literature and morality', political correctness and freedom', and 'technology' .
Liberalism :
Liberalism doesn’t just embrace, it actually stimulates difference. It recognizes that society is composed of very different kinds of people and it’s important to keep it that way. It’s not an ideology; an ideology is a secular religion. Liberalism defends some basic ideas: freedom, individualism, the rejection of collectivism and nationalism . Fascism and communism have attacked liberalism strongly, mainly by caricaturing it and linking it to conservatism.

Nationalism:
Llosa speak about Nationalism as a kind of racism. He says that, if we believe that belonging to a certain country or nation or race or religion is a privilege, a value in itself. So nationalism is good but now a days we find people do lot many wrong things on the name of nationalism.

Gretest Challange to Democracy :
The remarkable thing about our Democracy is that a poor , illiterate , low skilled , ridden with Religious/caste/regional divisive forces , Country liberated from colonisation What is seen is not the truth in this post truth era but it has hidden reality which operates by the powerful people/companies like now Jio has control over the public as having all data of public. People even don't have freedom of speech or to raise voice against injustice.So, Democracy is just the illusion not really present in our society.
