Nikita Sonavane is a Dalit feminist and lawyer focusing on criminal laws. She is the co-founder of the Criminal Justice and Police Accountability Project (CPAProject) a Bhopal based litigation and research intervention focused on building accountability against the criminalisation of Vimkuta jatis by the Police and the criminal justice system.

Nikita has a BA in Political Science  from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, LLB from Government Law College, Mumbai and LLM from Azim Premji University, Bangalore.

In this podcast we discussed:

  1. History of Vimukta jati, also known as Denotified Tribes and why they are constantly being targeted by police.
  2. Nikita explains how the  whole criminal justice system is designed to harm poor and Bahujans of this country.
  3. What are the ways to look for accountability beyond this compromised justice system?
  4. The questions of representation in the courts and why Bahujans are unable to rise to the top in this system which is based on caste based networks.
  5. Criminal justice system in the age of lockdown and digital era.
  6. Is taking a legal route for casteist comedians and celebs a good option ?
