#21 Casteism in Indian Stand-up comedy

Anurag Minus Verma Podcast

Here we are discussing the calling out of Indian Stand-up comics or their casteist tweets along with a sociological questioning of the stand-up scene in India. The podcast also discusses caste beyond reservations addressing certain themes which performative woke figures fail to address.
