Description

This week, host Sumedha Mittal is joined by the Wire’s Sukanya Shantha.


Sukanya talks about her report on India’s prisons where prisoners were allotted work on the basis of their caste. She says that the Chief Justice of India eventually expressed concerns over the “most disturbing” practice and said he would direct the government to take action. She also delved into other such colonial rules that are still in practice. 


Tune in.
