On March 13th, 2024, Our Co-Founder and Director, Anita Lal, led the launch of OVERCASTE.
Dates of exhibit; Mar 18-28 and May 4 - Sept 2
Join us for OVERCASTE at Burnaby Village Museum from March 8-18, until 4:30pm daily. Admission is free!
Harsha Walia’s reminder lands deeply: caste abolition isn’t a historical idea — it’s work we still owe each other today. When we talk honestly about caste, we’re making space for dignity, safety, and belonging in our own communities.
#EducateAgitateOrganize
Today, we ignite a campaign rooted in truth-telling and collective liberation, a platform for the leaders pushing caste justice forward. This is what solidarity looks like: community leaders stepping forward, naming caste, and refusing silence.

Sept 6, 1995. Amritsar.
Jaswant Singh Khalra stepped out to wash his car.
Police pulled up. He was taken in daylight, in front of his neighbors.
He never came back.

Authoritarian tactics don’t stay in the past. They shift. They adapt.

The aim is the same: silence dissent, punish activism, intimidate communities.
Naming these tactics matters. Forgetting only serves the oppressor.
#KhalraWeek2025
Punjab silenced Khalra at home.
Now the same playbook shows up abroad.
