‘Prevailing discrimination and inequality obstruct people from becoming knowledgeable’
Saraswathi, a social activist, said that the prevailing caste and gender-based discrimination and inequality have deprived people of becoming knowledgeable. Tashi Choedup, a transgender person and a human rights activist based in Hyderabad, said that people loved binaries very much and were comfortable with the idea of man and woman. “Whenever people ask me what it would be like being a trans person, I turn around the question and ask them what qualifies them as a man or a woman,” she said. The second day of the convention included dialogues on Swaraj, knowledge in development discourse and people’s movements, artificial intelligence, art, and knowledge questions.
