In this episode, we return to a conversation that we had with Obed Manwatkar during the Stott Bediako Forum. Listen and learn with us about Reconciling East and West: Life and Legacy of ‘Mahatma’ Jotiba Phule and the hope for OBCs in India.
We interviewed Obed about his work with OBCs (Other Backward Classes) and the idea of “debrahminization.” Together we imagined what caste reconciliation could look like and found hope in the God of the OBCs.
