The Reserved Compartment ( Part 2) on Pause with Nandini

Send us Fan MailPart 2 of a conversation with four of the five founding members of The Reserved Compartment - Aleena, Gautam, Daniel and Abhijit. The Reserved Compartment is a pioneering, community-driven initiative to amplify Dalit, Ambedkarite, gender-inclusive voices through spoken word poetry, storytelling, music, and performance. By reclaiming the term "Reserved Compartment," which historically refers tosegregation, they are creating a platform for subaltern narratives to challenge caste, gender, and other intersecting oppressions. Rooted in the legacy of the Bhakti movement, the Ambedkarite jalsa-shahiri tradition, and the Dalit Panthers, they aim to move beyond tokenism, ensuring the art and lived experiences of marginalized artists are honoured with dignity.Share, like, subscribe as always.Thank you for listening!
