In season 3 of the Ala podcast, we hold a series of conversations with educators, academics and activists on Education in Kerala. In this episode, we speak with Dr Amal Pullarkkat, faculty at MG University, on the crisis in the Indian higher education landscape and the dwindling of democratic educational spaces in India.
