Land isn’t just soil—it’s identity, history, and belonging. But what happens when caste determines who owns, who belongs, and who is displaced?
In this episode of Caste Conversation, youth share their lived experiences of connection and belongingness with their ancestral land, the impact of urbanization on Indigenous identity and the ongoing struggles for land rights while reflecting on the intersection of caste, land, and belonging. Beyond personal experiences, this episode also explores land policies, questioning whether they truly protect marginalized and Dalit communities or reinforce existing inequalities. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on how caste continues to shape our relationship with land, identity, and belonging.
What sets Caste Conversation apart?
Each episode dives into critical intersections of caste with topics like climate, justice, digital equity, and gender dynamics. Through these 12 thematic areas, we aim to foster empathy, solidarity, and collective action against caste-based discrimination, sparking a ripple effect of awareness and empowerment.
