Debarati runs a digital project called 'Brown Feminist Vegan' and has a great conversation with Dalal about intersectionality and why we need to challenge 'single issue veganism' and Western Vegan narratives. In this conversation, Debarati emphasises how intersectionality is central to their activism, recognising interconnected oppressions like racism, casteism, ableism, and speciesism, drawing parallels between the marginalisation of humans and non-human animals. Debarati critiques mainstream Western veganism for being Eurocentric, consumer-driven, and disconnected from local contexts.
