El presente artículo desarrolla una historia comparativa de las trayectorias de las sedes del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura en México e India durante la década de 1950. El planteamiento central de este escrito es que las actividades promovidas desde ambas sedes desempeñaron un papel central en el establecimiento de una cultura liberal de elite articulada en torno a la denuncia del peligro que el totalitarismo de izquierda representaba para el futuro de ambos países y, por extensión, para el resto del Tercer Mundo. En una época en la que la batalla por las ideas definía no sólo las coordenadas geopolíticas globales, sino también la orientación subjetiva y las aspiraciones de los intelectuales cosmopolitas del Tercer Mundo, esta cultura de elite fue central para la consolidación de un nuevo consenso intelectual definido por el anticomunismo y la defensa del liberalismo como único horizonte político.
