An absolute masterclass by Dr Rahul Sonpimple~ diagnosis of the crossroads where the anti-caste movement finds itself. Babasaheb's name is everywhere, but Ambedkarite parties at their weakest. What happens to the movement? Where does it go? What questions we need to ask? 

In this Post-Bahujan Era-- what is the future of Dalit assertion & identity?
A must-watch, agenda-setting episode!

Student suicides in top educational institutions have been peaking, there is rampant casteism across Indian universities. Against this backdrop we talk to Advocate Disha Wadekar who moved the Supreme Court on behalf of the mothers of the Dr Payal Tadvi & brother Rohith Vemula. Her interventioned resulted in the Supreme Court asking for data on caste discrimination on Indian campuses. 

What this means for SC ST OBC students in Indian institutions, caste discrimination & law-- she unpacks for us in this stellar episode!

Oi happy new year babies, only 2 ways out from here-- grow up OR go crazy.

There is no other way out of here, we cannot keep pretending things are great-- everything is falling apart. We cannot keep pretending Vir Das is talented/hot/funny. We cannot. We must not.

High time children! Grow up OR grow crazier. Lean into the dark side. Be demented, be unhinged. Be interesting. Don't be like Vir Das.

For the first time in 25 years, Indian urban (savarna) elites are no longer relevant to the discourse in politics, economy, society and culture. From woke hipsters to hustle tech bros-- all soft elites are now irrelevant.

It's that beautiful time of the year when sad, single, savarna millennials will get together for the 'Diwali Party' while savarna gen Z monsters will take a break from demanding action & accountability to return home from Sonepat colleges to take selfies in ethnic wear with their bigoted, fascist-minded parents ~and all this playing out to the tune of 'Chaiyaa Chaiyaa' in the background. Truly a blessed time!

Coldplay concert tickets are unavailable and elite savarns are very very angry about it. Ladoos at Tirupati have been found to be tainted and a young woman died of overwork at E&Y. An action packed episode.

Folks are "accidentally" killing people on "suspicion" of transporting beef, an old uncle is bullied by dudes on a moving train, elite schools are banning non-veg tiffin boxes & kids think Kalki 2898 AD is based on history-- in the middle of this social breakdown, your therapist asks you to ground yourself by touching grass.

Welcome to hell!

Our esteemed Lordships at the Supreme Court has spoken. SC/ST "creamy" layer should be skimmed they have suggested helpfully. An utterly, butterly episode deliciously unpacking the judgement on SC ST subcategorizing & privilege.

A deep dive on US 'Empire' from Gramsci, Adorno, Chomsky & Howard Zinn with special mentions to Kurt Vonnegut & Malcolm X ~ the Buffalo puts on his US history/politics "hat" literally & figuratively & breaks down Trump's rise, Biden's descent, Kamala aunty stepping up.
Is this the collapse into 'big' evil or have we seen that already under smoother (war) criminals like Obama, Clinton & Bush.

Airports are falling apart, streets are flooded, air is unbreathable, its so hot that ACs are blowing up-- who is responsible for this? who created this mess?

PS. stop blaming the politicians & enjoy the IPA!
