    Ep 39. Pure Veg Social Breakdown

    Folks are "accidentally" killing people on "suspicion" of transporting beef, an old uncle is bullied by dudes on a moving train, elite schools are banning non-veg tiffin boxes & kids think Kalki 2898 AD is based on history-- in the middle of this social breakdown, your therapist asks you to ground yourself by touching grass. Welcome to hell!

    Ep 38. Creamy Castes

    Our esteemed Lordships at the Supreme Court has spoken. SC/ST "creamy" layer should be skimmed they have suggested helpfully. An utterly, butterly episode deliciously unpacking the judgement on SC ST subcategorizing & privilege.

    Ep 37. The Trumpire Strikes Back

    A deep dive on US 'Empire' from Gramsci, Adorno, Chomsky & Howard Zinn with special mentions to Kurt Vonnegut & Malcolm X ~ the Buffalo puts on his US history/politics "hat" literally & figuratively & breaks down Trump's rise, Biden's descent, Kamala aunty stepping up. Is this the collapse into 'big' evil or have we seen that already under smoother (war) criminals like Obama, Clinton & Bush.

    From NEET & UGC NET, to coaching class mafia, to private universities erasing caste-based affirmative action, to Not-Found-Suitable scams, to student suicides, to Teach for India, to NCERT tweaks, to changing SC/ST overseas scholarship policies, to everything.. its all broken.

    Reactions to the Lok Sabha 2024 election results.

    Ep 33. The ripped social fabric of small-town India (w. Annie Zaidi)

    as Lok Sabha elections wind down, amid talk of seat numbers & voter percentages, we try to look at the softer idea of social fabric & civility which has broken down across small-towns, especially in north India.  Annie Zaidi, one of my favorite contemporary writers, shares some of her insights & experiences about what it means to be Muslim, what it means to feeling belonging in a society that has changed in ways that votes cannot fix.
