A recent episode of the show Made in Heaven featured Radhika Apte playing a Dalit academic character. A subsequent controversy stemmed from a Dalit writer claiming that Apte's character was based on her, without any credit. The filmmaking team's response included a mention that the idea of 'coming out as Dalit' was coined by Professor Sumit Baudh. Baudh, Professor and Executive Director, Centre on Public Law and Jurisprudence at the O.P. Jindal Global University, talks to Ketaki Desai about the episode, Dalit movements in the US and casteism on college campuses.
