Protests interview

15:28-16:38 : caste system didn’t completely leave India, it just changed shades.
Caste system is not a movement as such but it is a silent fight against
discrimination. Inter-caste marriages have been successful and “people look
forward to marrying the highest caste”.
Question: you said that in a protest, its important to have a majority. In terms of
shaheen bhaag protests, mostly Muslim women were protesting there and
because it was affecting a certain religion so the people from that religion only
came out. If a minority feels something and the people are less, do you think the
protest is less signification than when the majority does it?
20:00-20:58 : the protests started from Assam initially but it had subsided by the
time shaheen bhaag happened in Delhi. The people who felt threatened did not
reach out to the government in the way they could have.
Question: can you explain us what right-wing ideology means and how does it
play a role? What are the boundaries?
23:20-24:05 : president Putin is the flag bearer and they do not want to
associate with their communist past whatsoever, to an extent that addressing
anyone as a ‘comrade’ casually is a punishable offence.
24:14- 24:42 : they (Russia) would never like to be cornered for the fact that they
don’t represent the minorities or the marginalized communities because they
think they have appointed them on the highest positions of the country.
Question: what do you think about cyber activism?
Its easiest to mobilize people on the internet and phone calls because of how
much time we spend on the internet during the day.
Question: many of the people in our country don’t have access to the internet so
don’t you think they would be on the losing end or receive much less than the
privileged people?
