About the Talk:
Reparations as a policy measure has been widely used the world over to compensate individuals, groups and communities for historic and continuing wrongs that they have been subjected to. From reparations being paid by Germany to Jewish survivors of the holocaust, to Canadian and New Zealand governments paying reparations to the native communities, in recent time, still other communities have been demanding reparations in addition to affirmative action policies. This talks makes a case for reparations to be paid to the ex-untouchables and ex-cast-enslaved and their descendants, in South-Asia and India in particular, who have faced exclusion, discrimination and loss of economic, political, social, civil and human rights for the longest period in history.
