In the first episode of our new podcast series for 2020, Ten Minutes India, we speak with Dr Roja Singh.

Roja Singh's critical ethnography on caste and gender is rooted in interactions and lived experiences in communities of Dalit women in Tamil Nadu, India. Situated in transnational feminist discourses, Singh's perspective as a Dalit woman, provides an intersectional social analysis of power structures that sustain caste dominance in South India today.

Senator Lisa Singh was the first woman of South Asian heritage to be elected to Australia's Parliament. She spoke to Dr Priya Chacko about why Australia needs to forge stronger bonds with India and what steps can be taken to strengthen the bilateral relationship.
