A Discussion with Professor Ravikant Kisana (aka Buffalo Intellectual) Available on Zoom ID: 856 6301 7127 Pass: 019219 What does it mean to live in a society where the doors look open—but aren’t? Who gets to belong, and who gets left outside?     Join us for an unflinching conversation with cultural theorist and educator Professor Ravikant Kisana, widely known as the Buffalo Intellectual, as we discuss his groundbreaking new book, Meet the Savarnas.     The book turns the spotlight on India’s privileged upper-caste millennials and how their unexamined advantages have shaped the country’s institutions, culture, and future.

The showing of the Film - Inherit the Wind - has been postponed   Join us for an unforgettable cultural evening with Sambhaji Bhagat , a renowned Ambedkarite singer, poet, and performer known for his powerful anti-caste and social justice songs. Blending traditional folk rhythms with sharp political commentary, Bhagat brings the spirit of resistance alive through music that speaks to both the heart and the conscience. Performing primarily in Hindi, his songs confront inequality, injustice, and oppression—offering messages of hope, dignity, and solidarity. Sambhaji Bhagat’s performances are stirring, thought-provoking, and deeply rooted in the Shahu-Phule-Birsa-Ambedkar- Periyarite value system . This is a rare opportunity to witness music that transcends entertainment—music that challenges, inspires, and calls for change.
