Snehashish Das offers a critique of Western universalism and asks "us" to consider why we want to fit Indian icons like Bhimrao Ambedkar and Savitribai Phule into Western categories.

They makes a case for hope by referring to how Begumpura exists in the present, and shares their thoughts on appropriation.
