DESCRIPTION:\n'Caste\, Diaspora and the Future' : SASI Symposium\nWHEN: Wed
 nesday\, December 2nd\nTIME: 10AM - 12PM (PST)\nZoom Link: https://us02we
 b.zoom.us/j/89747827428m.us/j/89747827428\n\n\n\nThe issue of caste has re
 surfaced as a determining marker of identity among the diasporic Indian co
 mmunity. It had always existed\, albeit in obscure forms.\n\nHowever\, in 
 the recent decades it has taken a robust turn through cultural artefacts a
 nd rehashing of a caste pride in a mostly white majority culture. A counte
 rculture under the vestige of Ambedkarite\, Dalit-consciousness provided a
  direct critique to the caste equations in the diasporic society.\n\nIn th
 is talk Dr. Yengde takes a look at the kinetic sources of caste and its po
 rosity among the diasporic Indian society. The ambiguity of caste identity
  was so ingrained in the habits of ‘lower castes’ diaspora that it was
  left to forgetfulness. However\, the cultures and lived realities of oppr
 essed caste groups remained intact in their worship\, eating habits and in
 termarriages among others.\n\nOne significant departure of the Dalit or Sh
 udra diaspora was the obfuscation of lowest categories attributed to them.
  However\, the question endures: how well did the categorical smokescreen 
 help in penetrating a dominant caste oppression under the guise of minorit
 y person of color?\n\nDr. Yengde’s presentation will be followed by a Q&
 amp\;A moderated by SASI Director Dr. Satwinder Kaur Bains.\n\nAll are wel
 come to attend this free online lecture
