    Just Checking in with Rashmi Sadana
    Oct 28 2024
    Welcome to the Inner Loop Radio in our latest segment of Just Checking where we bring you our sub-series by Leeya Mehta: Writers with Pets in Solariums. In this fifth and last edition for the year, Leeya Mehta talks with her friend, non-fiction writer Rashmi Sadana. We are calling this episode: Maybe We Can All be a Little Like Luna: a Conversation with Rashmi Sadana. Dr. Rashmi Sadana is an urban ethnographer and Berkeley-trained cultural anthropologist who has been writing about the city of Delhi for the last twenty years. Her most recent book is called “The Moving City” and tells the story of Delhi’s new subway system from the perspective of the people who ride it. It’s a story about the radical possibilities and concretized inequalities of the city. It’s also the author’s love letter to the city. Rashmi teaches at George Mason University and is otherwise at the beck and call of a gray tabby called Luna. References to Books: Rashmi Sadana, “The Moving City” Rashmi Sadana, “English Heart, Hindi Heartland: The Political Life of Literature in India” Dinaw Mengetsu, “SOMEONE LIKE US” Yahica Dutt, “Coming Out as Dalit: A Memoir” Isabel Wilkerson, “Caste” BR Ambedkar, “The Annihilation of Caste”
