In this episode of South Central, hosts Dhanya Rajendran, Pooja Prasanna, and Leena Reghunath first discuss the Bajrang Dal attack and consequential arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh-- Sister Preethi Mary and Sister Vandana Francis--both part of the Sister Assisi Mary Immaculate Convent. They are joined by senior advocate and founder of the Human Rights Law Network, Colin Gonsalves, who speaks about the trend of right-wing attacks on Christians in the country. In the second part of the discussion, the panel looks at the TCS’s decision to lay off staff and whether big companies can force employees to leave. The panel also weighs in on whether AI plays a part in this, pointing towards an impending employment crisis. The hosts are joined by guests Sriram Rajagopal and A Welkin.
