Why We Need to Speak of Caste in #Bengal
Dr B.R. Ambedkar and Rabindranath Tagore never met. But their ideals overlap. There is no better place than Visva-Bharati to reignite discussions on caste.

Though we claim that we want women to be independent, through the stories and mythologies of mother goddess worship, we are taming the goddess.
Anthropologist @SSarveswar on how worshipping of mother goddesses in India has changed over the years.

My new pitch analyses how mythologies and iconographies pertaining to the mother goddess's worship are altered or refurbished to suit the political and social ideology. Thanks to the @scroll_in team for this opportunity.
In an era in which our political leaders privilege homogeneity, it is important to preserve the diversity of our mythologies and ensure that our mother goddesses are allowed to stay strong and furious, rather than attempting to tame them through stories and iconographies.

My students (Naina, Ankita and Riya) and I, tried to analyse what makes Santiniketan so attractive apart from the Tagore's influence. We used Anthropology of Space to examine this question. Your comments are welcome.
