The government claims zero deaths from manual scavenging between 2021–2025. By excluding sewer and septic tank deaths, it hides the brutal reality of caste-based sanitation work and exposes the gap between law and lived experience.
Over the past 3 years, Gujarat has conducted only 6 awareness camps under the SC/ST Act, marking the lowest implementation rate among all states. This reflects a significant disjuncture between legislative intent and institutional practice in addressing caste-based violence.
Debating Swaraj, a new book edited by @djpolitical, will soon be published by @OrientBlackSwan. The book explores Gandhi’s idea of Swaraj as a living and evolving concept, connecting it to questions of democracy, justice, and people’s participation in today’s political context.
On #AmbedkarJayanti, let’s revisit the overlooked legacy of the Dalit movement in colonial Gujarat. While mainstream narratives center Maharashtra, Gujarat too was part of Bombay Province, where Ambedkar emerged as a pan-Dalit leader as early as the 1920s.

In the latest edition of the EPW, Dr Vikas Pathe provides a comprehensive and analytical evaluation of Poorna Swaraj. Philosophy proper and philosophy practical need to complement each other.

I'm happy to announce the publication of my latest research article, titled "Urban Dalit Identity and Caste in Ahmedabad: Ambedkar’s Vision and Its Reality", published in the journal National Identities (Taylor & Francis Group). @catterall_pp@WeAreTandFtandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Humanity will always be indebted to Ambedkar for imagining a new social language based on new material and new social spheres. Thinking of the continuum as a liminal space is the most pivotal intervention in modern times. ( Contested Representation, Rowman & Littlefield)
Ahmedabad-based researchers and activists organized thought-provoking talk by scholars Akeel Bilgrami and Ghanshyam Shah on Gandhi, Ambedkar, and Caste. The event served as a vital platform for intellectual engagement and meaningful dialogue on anti-caste discourse and activism.
As someone who studied in one of the top colleges of Delhi University and paid an annual fee of about Rs 2,000-3,000 (and received excellent education); it is beyond my comprehension that new universities/ ‘top institutes’ charge a fee of Rs 11 LAKH PER ANNUM for Liberal Studies!
