A podcast about ideas and ideologies.
This is episode one of What's your ism? — a podcast by The News Minute, with host Sudipto Mondal, that will grapple with all the impressive ‘isms’ from Marxism, Feminism, Ambedkarism to religious systems, and their inherent contradictions.
It’s an attempt to understand academics, activists, politicians, artists, rebels and even ‘wannabe’ revolutionaries who are in search of grand unified theories to solve the world’s problems.
In this episode, we discuss the future of the Ambedkarite anti-caste struggle, woke culture, Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA alliance with our guest Suraj Yegde, a global anti-caste scholar and activist. The postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Kennedy School also elaborates on the question of categorising Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims under the Scheduled Castes.
Tune in.
