Indian Empire The Indian Empire is a podcast that aims to politicize the so-called upper caste apolitical class of India. The podcast is run by an "upper" caste man. The goal is to focus on the manners in which caste operates in Savarna (caste Hindu) spaces, how caste is invisibilized, yet practiced in everyday life. The title is based on the idea of imperial tendencies of "India" as a nation. 57f3d60d-eb52-4aae-a64e-36cec6bfaa01 The Indian Empire is a podcast that aims to politicize the so-called upper caste apolitical class of India.
