Pregs Govender, deputy chair of the South African Human Right Commission (SAHRC), expressed the same apprehension about fragmentation (in the context of human rights and the associated movements) in a talk on "Human Rights in an Unequal World: Accountability to People who are Poor" in the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance (CSLG), JNU, Delhi. Though she was talking about human rights, but her apprehension about fragmentation could be important to understand the challenges or advantages to the deployment of differentiation in the notion of citizenship. Whether fragmentation is good or bad, challenges or advantages depends on how one frame the question and the exploratory or intended aim of the question. If the aim is to construct people's experiences in an abstract way, fragmentation is obviously a challenge to it. On the other hand, if the aim is to deconstruct the abstract notion of people's experiences fragmentation is a boon to it. In the latter case, the aim is to harmonize people's differential experiences not through relegating the differences but by synchronizing differences through the tool of what John Rawls called 'Reflective Equilibrium'. Fragmentation is also a boon in some other sense. The same difference does not have equal chance of articulation in different locations/spheres. The same women's issues get articulated through political and electoral domain in South Africa, but the case is quite different for India. In India, women's issues have seen the high chance of articulation through judicial-bureaucratic domain than the electoral-political domain. In brief, the same issues, if get articulated through different arenas/domains, require different logic of articulations, different strategies and the different mode of interactions, even though the abstract aim remains the same. Thus, differential imaginations of citizenship are not the vices even though it might be the hindrances for highly cherished policy makers.

Abstract:
The balance of accuracy and precision is important in the task of concept formation. When a concept contains many sub-concepts the challenge becomes to balance the precision aspects at all fronts of sub-concept formation. Being precise on one sub-concept level at the expense of others leads to conceptual fallacy. The notion of Global citizenship faces the similar kind of dilemmas.
