Abstract
In this presentation, Sambhaji Bhagat explores the evolving dynamics of cultural politics in contemporary India, particularly through the lens of folk traditions, resistance art, and the Ambedkarite movement. He reflects on how marginalized voices use poetry, music, and performance as tools for protest and socio-political commentary. Drawing from his extensive experience in “Vidrohi Shahiri” (revolutionary folk performance), Bhagat will discuss how cultural narratives are shaped, suppressed, or amplified in today’s hyper-politicized landscape, and what that means for social justice, caste discourse, and democratic expression.
