28. The Statues are Falling! - a podcast by Bangalore International Centre

Rahul Rao and Poorna Swami discuss whether cities, nations and communities should retain statues honouring 18th or 19th century slave traders and imperialists.

There are movements to bring down the statues of Confederate Generals in the US, Colonial rulers in Europe and Gandhi in Africa – Rahul and Poorna explore if they are morally justified. If they are, where does one draw the line?

Rahul Rao is a senior lecturer at SOAS, London, and Poorna Swami is an independent writer and journalist.
