How does Sagarika Ghose deal with accusations – unfair or otherwise – that she’s a ‘nepo kid’ who comes from privilege?
‘I do accept that I come from privilege but my family is self-made,’ she says. ‘...We’re a self-made, educated, Bengali bhadralok family. That does come with privileges but these are not privileges of money or crony capitalism or politics.’
But what about the privilege of birth?
‘I don’t identify with a birth-based category…Perhaps I am what you’d call upper-caste and that’s a privileged category…But it’s not as if I didn’t have to work hard all my life,’ she says.
This and a lot more on the latest episode of What’s Your Ism, where Sudipto Mondal sits down with Sagarika to talk about liberalism, intellectuals in Indian politics, the state of the media, and a lot more.
