An Ethnographic & Sociological Study of the Delhi Metro w/ Rashmi Sadana

Guerrilla History

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the wonderful Professor Rashmi Sadana to discuss the Delhi metro system from a political economic, sociological, and ethnographic framework, based on her terrific book The Moving City: Scenes from the Delhi Metro and the Social Life of Infrastructure. Talking about the political and sociological dimensions of infrastructure is a critically important topic for us to focus on, and one which we are trying to devote a bit more time to. We recommend also checking out our recent conversation with Laleh Khalili on Red Sea Shipping & the Gaza Genocide to hear a bit more of our discussions on transportation infrastructure.

Rashmi Sadana is Professor of Anthropology at George Mason University and author of English Heart, Hindi Heartland: The Political Life of Literature in India. Keep up to date with the Professor's work by checking out her faculty webpage.
