AmbedkariteMarxist on Marxism, Gandhi & EWS Reservation

Hello and Welcome to yet another episode of The Skeptic Show. In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to Lakshya. Lakshya is the founder of an Instagram page "Ambedkarite_Marxist" where he talks about Social and political issues. He has also completed his MBA from IIM. Coming back to the episode, we talked about a bunch of stuff. Firstly, we talked about Marxism and how to judge historical figures like Ashoka, Mughal Rulers and Gandhi. We also talked about Reservation and why he thinks EWS Reservation is discriminatory. Then, changing the flow of conversation, we pondered over God, Religion and finding meaning and purpose in a godless meaningless world. Then we ended our conversation by talking about Prostitution and whether it is a free choice.
