Hi, I’m Sukhraj Singh from Sikh Archive and welcome to the 20th episode of our Podcast series of conversations with historians, authors, academics and researchers on topics related to their areas of expertise on Sikh or Panjabi history.


In this episode we are joined by Dr. Suraj Yengde, who is a public scholar and the author of the bestseller “Caste Matters” and co-editor of award winning anthology “The Radical in Ambedkar”.  


We discuss his personal profile where he describes his upbringing being born and brought up in Nanded, his own articulation of the caste system, his impression of Sikhi as an anti-caste philosophy as well as the role of the Khalsa and the relationship between Dr. Ambedkar and Sikhi.


I am a big fan of Dr Suraj Yengde’s work and really admire his critical voice and it's an honour to be conducting this interview with him. I am really looking forward to sharing with you all.
