The Longest Constitution with Priya Mirza

Caste and access to work

Is discrimination visible? Or just felt?

In this episode of The Longest Constitution, we look into the history of caste-based discrimination and why our constitution is committed to overcoming that. And most importantly how from B.R. Ambedkar’s experiences to questions about the necessity for reservations, we look into how the constitution proposes to undo caste-based discriminations and the journey towards that goal.
