In this session, Joy Ma and Dilip D’Souza - authors of the book “The Deoliwallahs” - recount a forgotten chapter from India’s history in 1960s. They look at history to bring perspectives to the present, be it constructing laws to recreate citizenship categories or to ‘mark’ certain groups to build a narrative about disease and exclusion.

Srinath Raghavan, professor of history and international relations at the Ashoka University and Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, moderated the discussion.
