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.
