Like most things meant for the public, and built upon rules invisible to the public, the format of IVR, and its commands (press 1 for x, press 2 for y) encode the limit within which a heavily scripted language operates. anumanlok enters this limit, and expresses how unstable the interdependence of language and meanings are, while still being locked in a code.
The sayings of anumanlok are ordinary expressions which struggle to express caste-oppressions in materially-intersubjective ways, beyond the direct intelligibility of political discourse.
