About this listen

A new month and a new Uncuff India episode!

This episode examines the perceptions regarding the police and its relationship with different individuals and groups on the basis of their social identities. The police system is slowly becoming a weapon of choice for ensuring discipline and the episode dives into the values that guide this. The episode also explores the messaging around the police force and the multiple ways in which it is expressed and/or experienced.

We are joined by the passionate Neeraj Shetye in this episode. Neeraj is the Partnerships and Communications Manager at the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD) at Somerville College, University of Oxford. Prior to OICSD, Neeraj worked at the Oxford Internet Institute as a Research Support Officer. Neeraj consults for grassroots collectives in India on program design and outreach.

P.S. One of our upcoming episodes also explores the relationship of the police with dissent and dissenters.

We are once again accepting submissions for the Uncuff India prize. You can find more information about it here: https://bit.ly/UncuffIndiaPrize_MoreInfo
