Transculturating Snakes and Ladders: Decoloniality and Boardgames

This July at the KCC Library, join us for a Library Talk that reshapes how we think about childhood games and colonial history.

Transculturating Snakes and Ladders: Decoloniality and Boardgames 🎲
A talk by Dr. Souvik Mukherjee—renowned Game Studies scholar and professor at Cultural Studies at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences.

Discover how Snakes and Ladders and Ludo were once tools of moral instruction and philosophical learning—before colonial rule transformed them into mere “leisure games.”
Learn how play itself carries legacies of resistance, pedagogy, and power.
