Caste still shapes India in ways most people don’t fully understand.

In this episode of Dostcast, Ravikant Kisana breaks down how caste quietly determines access to power, influence, and opportunity in modern India. From elite media networks to business communities, we explore how historical hierarchies continue to affect who rises, who gets heard, and who gets left behind.

Ravikant talks about why he identifies as an Ambedkarite, how caste and pedigree influence entry into elite circles, and why certain communities appear to dominate specific professions. We also discuss media power structures, the role of identity in shaping ambition, and why some people choose not to play the traditional “game” of influence.

This conversation dives deep into India’s social structure, the psychology of caste, and what it means for merit, identity, and social mobility in modern India.

In this episode of Dostcast, Vinamre reacts in real-time to the chaos unfolding online — from serious geopolitical escalations to unhinged memes that turn global anxiety into viral content.

As hashtags scream “WW3”, timelines are flooded with breaking news, war maps, conspiracy threads, AI-generated visuals, and dark humour. But what’s real? What’s propaganda? And why does the internet turn every global crisis into content within minutes?
