Suraj Yengde

Global anti-caste scholar and activist Suraj Yengde discusses the future of the Ambedkarite anti-caste struggle, woke culture, Rahul Gandhi, and the INDIA alliance. He also talks about categorising Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims, the significance of politics, spirituality, and Buddhism, the influence of Kanshiram in making Periyaar a well-known figure, and the complexities of Dalit identity within religion and caste.

Suraj Yengde, a first-generation Dalit scholar, challenges deep-seated beliefs about caste in India. He discusses the multiple humiliations faced by Dalits, the glass ceiling they encounter in various fields, and the need for unity within the Dalit community. Yengde explores the parallels between caste oppression and other forms of discrimination like race and gender. He also touches on topics such as feminism, radical love, and humor in the context of casteism on a transnational level.
