  • Do we really need a caste census? ft Anand Teltumbde and Yogendra Yadav

    Do we really need a caste census? ft Anand Teltumbde and Yogendra Yadav
    Jan 25 2026
    Few policy ideas in India have generated as much political heat as the caste census. From television studios to opinion pages, the argument is no longer just whether a caste census should be conducted, but what it is meant to achieve.

    Is the exercise simply about collecting data? Does it focus only on historically marginalised communities? And can the act of counting caste alter social identities themselves?

    In this episode, host Sandip Roy asks these questions to social activist and writer Anand Teltumbde, author of The Caste Census, and Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj India, who also serves as the national convenor of the Bharat Jodo Abhiyan.

  • Anuradha Roy on leaving city life for the mountains

    Anuradha Roy on leaving city life for the mountains
    Jan 4 2026
    The mountains are often imagined as an escape from city life. A place to visit, slow down, and leave behind. But for writer Anuradha Roy, they are something else entirely. The hills near Ranikhet are where she and her husband chose to move, turning a neglected cottage into a home over more than two decades, shared with family, animals, and a carefully tended garden.

    In Called by the Hills, Roy reflects on a life lived close to nature but never apart from its pressures, documenting both its quiet rewards and the damage caused by climate change and unchecked development in the Himalaya.

    This week on the podcast, Anuradha Roy joins host Sandip Roy to talk about what it means to make a home in the mountains.

  • How colonialism shoved India's queer history into the closet ft Sindhu Rajasekaran

    How colonialism shoved India's queer history into the closet ft Sindhu Rajasekaran
    Dec 14 2025
    June is Pride Month around the world but does India need to march to that calendar? More Indian cities now hold Pride in winter, when it’s cooler and the streets are fuller. And that practical shift opens a bigger question, why has India so often taken its cues from the West when our own queer histories run deep?

    And this week host Sandip Roy is joined by writer Sindhu Rajasekaran, whose new book traces how the British reformed and silenced India’s queer futures, to take a look at erased lineages and what they mean for Pride in India.
