The Uproar

Eliana Goldin

Welcome to The Uproar. The Uproar brings you the stories from inside Columbia’s gates that outside news organizations miss or ignore when reporting on Columbia’s central role in university responses to protests, antisemitism, and the war against Hamas. This moment in history can’t go untold, and it’s important that our stories are told by us. We'll engage in difficult questions, and -- hopefully -- everyone will be feel challenged at one point or another. Thanks for being here.

    Interview: Simran claims she was ousted as President of Sikh club on campus for being pro-Israel

    Welcome to The Uproar. The Uproar aims to bring you the stories from inside Columbia’s gates that are often overlooked or ignored when reported on by media organizations profiting off of audience outrage. The Uproar brings you the stories from the students themselves. In this inaugural episode, I interview Simran, the former co-President of Columbia Seva, Columbia’s main student group for Sikh students on campus. Simran claims that she was ousted from her presidency for being pro-Israel. All information in this podcast about her resignation following alleged anti-Israel bias came from Simran herself. Simran and I sit down to talk about her experience as President of Columbia Seva once she began expressing her pro-Israel views, the current campus climate surrounding pro-Israel politics, and what it’s like being pro-Israel from a non-Jewish perspective. The interview starts at 3:30. If you are interested in sharing feedback on this episode or wish to get in touch, feel free to email me at columbiatheuproar@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram @ theuproarpod. This episode was edited by Jessica Weinfeld. She’s a legend. Original music by Marc Luban. I knocked on his door in the middle of the night, asked him if he could put some music together for me, and after a lot of back and forth, he produced this awesome work. Also a special thank you to Quinn Waller, a podcast producer for Tablet Magazine, who both gave me recording space for this episode and helped me throughout the editing process on numerous occasions.
