Media, Politics and the Burden of Representation: 60 Minutes with Arunava Sinha

Arunava Sinha is a prolific literary translator and the Books
Editor at Scroll.in. He also teaches Creative Writing at Ashoka
University in New Delhi. In this episode of the Big Turtle we
talked about the Burden of Representation faced by diaspora
writers in the West, the differences in approach between Indians
writing in English and those writing in Indian languages. Further
we discussed whether partisanship in journalism induces further
polarization and the "echo-chamber" effect. We concluded our chat
with a discussion on the pros and cons of the Farm Bills and the
notion of pan-hindu solidarity as espoused by the BJP.
