In this episode of the BhaJuPod, we have a special guest, special because he shares his first name with our most devoted listener. In yet another episode of the 'Discovering our politics' series, our guest talks about going from an apolitical, privileged kid who advocated for Pappaji, to someone who regretted it months later. Today, he is one of the most vocal liberal voices on social media. In a fascinating take on soft bigotry, and how it is inherent to even the most 'liberal' household in India, we do a deepdive on how latent hate can shape electoral politics. Also, how Pappaji's solar cell manhole covers won him an election. Listen to this pod for a rich, nuanced take on why the politics of the average, privileged Indian is easy pickings for majoritarian movements.
