Confronting Caste is a podcast series that aims to explore how caste operates as a mode of power and social governance in contemporary contexts across the world. It fosters public discourse around the role of caste as an ideology in the production of culture and the built environment. Each episode takes the form of a conversation between the host and invited academics, activists, artists and other prominent public voices to critically understand a city, an event, and an experience as a product of unequal caste relations.
