Description

Unreported caste discrimination, violence and social marginalisation, caste politics, affirmative action, and metropolitan apathy are some of the contours of the present state of India's ancient system of apartheid. ZESTCaste is a no-holds-barred mailing list to reflect contemporary discourses on the subject, promote new thinking, and make accessible the research done on caste over decades. It is also a platform for caste activists and academics to network amongst themselves.

The list will reflect the increasingly high-brow Dalit activism being carried out by such eminent caste activists as Udit Raj, Chandrabhan Prasad, Kancha Ilaiah, VT Rajshekhar, Gopal Guru and S. Anand. Attempts will be made to understand the politics of caste leaders such as Mayawati of the Bahujan Samaj Party, and the OBC leaders Mulayam Singh and Laloo Prasad Yadav.

ZESTCaste will also give space to news reports about caste issues, as well as the academic research by scholars who hide themselves in universities.

This is a high volume documentation and discussion list; you may get up to ten messages a day. So you may want to choose the daily digest option.
