Ep. 03: Why We Need Reservation

On an all-new episode of "Uncle, Please Sit!", hosts Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani take on a topic that arouses a lot of passionate, and often ignorant, debate among people.

This week, the guys talk about Reservations. They explain why Reservations are essential in an unequal society like India and debunk the standard Uncle opinions around it, like "oh it should only apply to creamy layer", or "it's been 70 years, how much more time do they need."

They also look deeper into the effects so far of reservations, both in education and the public sector, and come away realizing that much more needs to be done.

Tune in to find out why the topic of Reservations needs a nuanced and empathetic look.
