Hello! Seemingly innocent cultural practices have implicit power structures and I believe in starting discourses for exposing and breaking these power relations. Through the podcast, I will be putting in praxis. Thankyou for listening! Please let me know your thoughts on the talk in the comments below.

    The Republic Day Parade & the Tractor Rally- Nation-state & People-nation. Why 26 Jan? Why tractor?

    Hello! In this first episode of the Podcast, we are talking about the Republic Day Parade and the Tractor Rally in view of the Nation-state and the People-nation. We talk about the distinction between the two, and then we move on to talk about- Why the farmers wanted to organize their rally on 26th January only? Why they used tractor for this? We also try to contextualize the violence that erupted during the rally. For the talk, I have with me Nangsel Sherpa, my dearest friend and someone I look up to! Thankyou for listening!
