Ep 51. Counting Castes: Census & Savarna Anxieties (w. Sumit Samos)

Caste census announcement is probably one of the biggest policy interventions in independent India-- now that the fog of war is lifting, the incredibly talented Sumit Samos breaks it down for us. Also breaking a few savarna academic egos along the way for fun.

PS. Apologies for the bad network & technical difficulties. This show has no budget for better production levels.

Ambedkarite professor/researcher rants a lot about the social life & absurdities in India. Is occassionally funny but mostly mediocre.
