Professor Apoorvanand teaches Hindi at Delhi University, commentates on sociopolitical issues, produces literary and cultural critiques, and frequently lends his voices to progressive causes. For his activism, he has sometimes faced heat from the authorities. Early this month, his phone was seized and he was questioned by the Delhi Police about his role in the protests against the Citizenship law which they have alleged caused the communal violence in the city in February.

Apoorvanand speaks with Chahak Gupta about his interrogation, his ideological leanings and his position on violence.
