This summer, I interned at legal-political think tank DAKSH, an organization that researches and advocates for governance and judicial reforms in India. One project I worked on was about the first sedition court case in India, which involved questions centering colonialism, freedom of the press, modernity versus traditionalism, and women’s rights. Sedition law persists in India today, long after the end of British rule. The final podcast episode by Leah Verghese, for which I was a research assistant and helped write parts of the script, is pasted below. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

Very interesting podcast! An uncomfortable context, but a very important topic.
