Campus Cast - Radio Azim Premji University - 26th January 2023

Episode 1 Campus Cast is a lively radio magazine produced by Radio Azim Premji University. Exactly how lively? Episode 1 sets the trend, riffing on the Republic Day sentiment with a jaunty take on the Preamble to the Constitution of India. Making holiday travel plans for Republic Day? Make a quick dash to Dhammagiri Buddha Vihar on the outskirts of Bengaluru. And while you’re there, you can’t help but glance at a portrait on the wall — of course, it’s Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution of India. Discover the tenets of Ambedkarite Buddhism, also called Navayana, a more modern and people-oriented interpretation of the faith as Ambedkar practiced it. Catch up with the news around campus in our Notice Board segment. Listen and share. And tell us what you think of this show.
