Dheepa Sundaram Distorts the Hindu Festival of Durga Puja As Caste Oppression

On Day 3, Session 1, Dheepa Sundaram, Assistant Professor, Hindu Studies, Critical Theory and Digital Religion at University of Denver, said: “So, what’s worse than being demonized, is being erased, in my view. And so, there is no space to trend an Adivasi hashtag. There is no space, for example, to trend when Durga Puja trends, #DurgaPuja, to trend #MahishasuraCasteOppression, which is a hashtag often promoted by Dalit groups during that time.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZLGr5qlwaY at 1:00:48
