What’s your ism? Prakash Ambedkar on the legacy, struggles and future of Dalit politics

In this episode of What’s Your Ism, Sudipto Mondal speaks to Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar about Maharashtra’s power structure and the most contentious issues in Dalit Ambedkarite politics in India today.
