What’s Your Ism? Reflections – Episode 3
In this third episode, Sudipto Mondal reflects on his conversation with Dr. Raees Muhammad — formerly Ravichandran Bathran, scholar, activist, and founder of Dalit Camera. The discussion moves beyond religion and resistance, into a quieter but more powerful space — the toilet. From Raees’s reflections on ritual purity and his conversion to Islam, to Slavoj Žižek’s classification of toilets as ideological structures, and Milan Kundera’s theological riddle about God and shit, Sudipto asks: how does a civilisation that denies its own shit justify its obsession with purity? This is not about provocation — it’s about confronting what caste tries hardest to hide.
