Join us for an illuminating evening with renowned anti-caste scholar, historian, and activist Suraj Milind Yengde, as he presents and discusses his landmark new book: Caste: A Global Story.
In this groundbreaking work, Suraj reveals how caste is not confined to India but exists across the globe—from Britain to Bahrain, Canada to South Africa. Through history, ethnography, archival research, and personal narrative, he traces caste’s presence among indentured labourers in the Caribbean, migrant workers in the Middle East, and South Asian diaspora communities worldwide.
Following his short presentation, Suraj will be in conversation with the host, followed by a lively Q&A session with the audience.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of today’s leading Anti - Caste intellectuals and activists, whose work challenges us to rethink inequality and build solidarity across movements. Also livestreamed on Zoom (ID: 856 6301 7127 & Pass: 019219)
