About Subversive Spiritualities: Dalit Theology Month
This is the first-of-its-kind Dalit theology podcast engaging with the subversive spiritualities from the sites of subalternities. In this podcast, you will have the opportunity to listen to theological reflections on Scripture, faith, politics and the public sphere. Dalit theology is a critical tool striving for liberation, justice and love in our world filled with conflict, exclusion, discrimination and oppression. You are invited to this chaotic sacred space to listen deeply and be transformed to become a channel of God's justice. Come, let's celebrate subversive spiritualities.
Does interfaith compromise Christian faith? Can we love God while refusing to love neighbours who believe differently? What happens when religion becomes a barrier to love?
As we approach Inter Faith Week 2026, I reflect on these questions through my lived experiences in India and Britain, drawing on Dalit, decolonial and public theology.
I argue that interfaith isn't about making everyone believe the same, but about ensuring everyone belongs.
🎧 Join me in this conversation as we explore how faith can cross boundaries, challenge prejudice and nurture solidarity, justice and shared flourishing.
💬 I'd love to hear your thoughts: Does interfaith challenge our Christian identity, or deepen our understanding of what it means to follow Jesus?
Let's keep the conversation going!

Trick or Treat? Finding God in the Dark and Sharing Love in the Light
Is Halloween really a celebration of darkness, death and evil? Or could it be an unexpected opportunity to discover the divine in the dark and share the light of God's love?
In this episode of Subversive Spiritualities, I explore Halloween through a biblical, theological, intercultural and missional lens. Drawing on my experiences of growing up in India and living in Britain, I reflect on how Christians might move beyond fear and condemnation towards hospitality, hope and love.
Remembering Martin Luther's challenge to the Church on the eve of All Saints' Day in 1517, I ask whether Halloween might become another occasion for reimagining Christian witness.
When the world says “Trick or Treat,” I am reminded that when Jesus was tricked by the powers of religion, law and empire, he responded with the transforming treat of love, grace and forgiveness.
Perhaps our Christian calling is not to curse the darkness, but to recognise God's presence within it and become bearers of light.
Join me as we explore why Halloween need not be a threat to Christian faith, but could become a missional opportunity to practise love beyond boundaries.
