Tejasvi vs Sowmya: Class, caste and counterculture in Bengaluru South
Bengaluru South is not just about IT parks, malls, and ‘pure veg’ food joints. Swanky glass-fronted buildings hide decades of social dominance and it has expanded to economic clout. Still, there’s a counterculture in the making.

Did Periyar call for a genocide of Brahmins?
In hierarchical societies, reformers challenge the status quo with provocative and uncivil speech. Accusing them of hate speech is ill-intentioned. Karthick Ram Manoharan writes.

State benefits doled on caste lines are also leading to ‘caste ferocity’ in society: Madras High Court

Caste Hierarchies Are Not Just About Purity or Dominance, They Are Also About the State
'We propose a polythetic definition of caste, that is, a definition that invokes a number of different criteria, not all of which will necessarily be present in every case and no one of which is all-determining or ever-present.'

Indians, Episode 6: Khajuraho and the World of Tantra
Khajuraho was the capital of the Chandelas who built 85 temples between 900–1150 CE. The 25 that survive are now famed for their fine sculpture, including graphic sex on their walls. In the late first millennium, such temples arose across India, at Badami, Mathura, Konark, etc. Who built them and why? And how did Indians of that era turn into today’s woeful prudes easily scandalised by such erotica, no hint of which appears on their modern religious monuments?

Indians: The Ikshvakus of Andhra Pradesh
Archaeological sites like Keeladi have pushed back the rise of complex societies in south India to at least the 6th century BCE. In the late first millennium BCE, a ‘cultural package’ from Aryavarta began moving south. It would radically reshape the religions, languages, and social norms of south India...

Colonial and casteist ideas still shape criminalisation and policing in India

Court Orders FIR Against MLA Bal Mukundacharya in Assault Case: Accused of Spitting and Kicking Dalit's Chest
Mukundacharya had won the Hawa Mahal seat by defeating Congress candidate RR Tiwari by a thin margin of 974 votes. He went around his constituency shutting down shops selling non-vegetarian food a day after being elected and later apologised for his actions after people complained about him to the National Human Rights Commission.
