Charvaka, Ambedkar & Ravana’s Regret: What’s Your Ism? Reflections | Anand Neelakantan
Update: 2025-05-02
Description
In this episode of What’s Your Ism? Reflections, Sudipto Mondal re-opens his conversation with Anand Neelakantan by focusing on a striking excerpt from Asura—where Ravana, in victory, still yearns for caste validation. This leads to a deeper reflection on who the Shudras really are and what status they occupied in Indo-Aryan society. A philosophical and political unpacking of what Ambedkar understood that Ravana could not.
