Ep 51. Counting Castes: Census & Savarna Anxieties (w. Sumit Samos)
Caste census announcement is probably one of the biggest policy interventions in independent India-- now that the fog of war is lifting, the incredibly talented Sumit Samos breaks it down for us. Also breaking a few savarna academic egos along the way for fun.
PS. Apologies for the bad network & technical difficulties. This show has no budget for better production levels. --------------------
