Bloody Kamina: The Dalit Drag King Redefining Caste, Gender, Identity, and Faith!
In this episode of Drag Me to Heaven, I sit down with Bloody Kamina, a trailblazing Dalit drag king from Bangalore, who is using their platform to challenge not only gender norms but also caste-based discrimination. Bloody Kamina, known for their bold performances, is an advocate for Dalit rights and incorporates their anti-caste and Buddhist beliefs into their art. Through drag, they challenge societal expectations and offer a powerful voice for those who have been marginalized.
We delve into how their drag journey intersects with their Buddhist identity, which emphasizes equality and social justice, and how it influences their approach to confronting caste-based oppression. Bloody Kamina speaks openly about the dual struggle of being both a queer artist and a Dalit, sharing their experiences with resilience, activism, and the importance of using drag as a form of resistance. This episode is a deep dive into the power of drag as a tool for social change, offering a fresh perspective on caste, identity, and the fight for equality in India.
