This special launch podcast marks the unveiling of The Other Side of the Wall by Raja Rao Pagidipalli, a powerful collection of 50 poems tracing the lived realities of caste oppression, resilience, and hope. Divided into five chapters—Shadows of the Past, Personal Chains and Pain, Illusions of Justice, Modern Struggles and Exploitation, and Rising Flames of Resistance—the book ( https://amzn.in/d/hZciC6o ) captures voices silenced by history yet ignited by defiance. In this podcast, Raja Rao shares not just verses, but lived experiences: from manual scavengers and silenced women to children locked away from dignity. It is at once a testimony, a mirror, and a call to action. This podcast is an invitation to look beyond the wall—to question, to feel, and to join the journey toward equality.
