The inCulture Room Episode 4 – Rahul Ram

Rahul Ram is a bass guitarist, singer, comedian, composer, and activist. A member of one of India’s pioneering rock outfits, “Indian Ocean”, Rahul’s image is beyond legendary amongst independent music circles in the country. He is also a member of the hugely successful political satire comedy troupe, Aisi Taisi Democracy, alongside Varun Grover and Sanjay Rajoura. With a career that has been as diverse as it has illustrious, just to listen to Rahul recount his experiences and share his insights has been a gift in itself. In our conversation, he discusses the benefits of the virtual gig, the effects of state censorship on comedy, his own personal journey as a musician, and answers questions for our quickfire #opionated series!

About Us

Anant Shah

Anant Shah- Founder

Anant Shah (just as his Instagram bio says) has always been interested in connecting people though their different cultures. He is drawn to this goal, given his background of a family of artists, as well as his work at several different organisations such as the People Tree with Orijit Sen, The Conflictorium in Ahmedabad and The UN (AIDS) Communications and Global Advocacy Team in Geneva. As a graduate of History and International relations at Ashoka University, he co-founded and set up the Ashoka Literature festival in 2019. Longing to increase this critical discourse on contemporary and traditional Indian Cultures he finally decided to start InCulture.

Kartik Sundar- Founder

Kartik Sundar loves nothing more than opining on cultural content. An avid writer for many publications, the decision to start one of his own came from recognizing a substantive lack of critical discourse around Indian culture today. He graduated Ashoka University with a degree in History & International Relations and wishes to complete further education with a focus on media and cultural studies.

Who We Are

We at inCulture are looking to shed light on what we see as an emerging new Indian culture as well as paying dues to the traditions that have been integral in shaping the current space. We want to try and create a space where critical reflection on cultural events, individuals, works of art, or practices can be fostered. Rather than exist as a cultural news outlet that merely serves as a bulletin board for the latest releases, inCulture will look to curate multi-medium pieces that seek to inform readers about aspects of our culture that make you think beyond an immediate reaction. In particular, we strive to look critically at Indian culture by investigating it under four distinct categories – film & theatre, music, spaces, and society.
