India's Ongoing Brutal Caste System: A Woman's Perspective

Globally, many individuals grapple with oppressive caste structures that condemn them to lives marked by degradation, oppression, and poverty. These enduring systems of racial, religious, and color discrimination remain prevalent. For instance, in India, the Dalit community (the lowest class of people) continues to battle for the same rights that Black Americans secured half a century ago.

Join us today as we spotlight Kamna Singh, a champion of the underrepresented in India who has defied all the cultural limitations to become a Ph.D. student in a country where this is a monumental and challenging fete. Her area of study is Black women writers in America. She uses the inspiration of Bell Hooks, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison to help her encourage Indian women to battle for their rights in the world’s largest Democracy.
