Scripting the Change: Season: Tendupatta; Pimp: The State

Anuradha Ghandy was a Central Committee member of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) whose decades-spanning revolutionary career included the Indian student movement, the trade union movement, and work in the CPI (Maoist)-led people's war. Remembered by her comrades and the communities she worked and fought with as a tireless revolutionary, she is best known outside of India for her work on women's issues and questions of caste. Scripting the Change is a collection of Comrade Anu's most important works on the above-mentioned issues, as well as pieces on the revolutionary movement in India more broadly.

This episode contains the essay "Season: Tendupatta; Pimp: The State."
