Begumpura's streets are bound to be adorned with artifacts that refer to anti-caste histories which are simultaneously everyday in their recurrence since the act of putting these anti-caste 'objects' forth are no longer a strictly political act in this casteless city. This act of remembrance is bound to take up multiple unexpected forms. Here I present a playful utilization of such anti-caste moments, in the form of a bottle reminiscent of the glass soda bottles, that reads "Chavdar's" referring, of course, to the Chavdar lake where the Mahad Satyagraha took place. This artwork in turn, I hope, is raising provocations around nostalgia, memorializability, consumption, and affect.
