Episode 6: Should I Wear a Bindi to Coachella?

In episode 6, my friends Ariya and Insia teach me all about being Indian-American hotties. They explain the religious, linguistic, and cultural dynamics, as well as the difference between appreciation and appropriation of Indian culture. They strongly recommend starting your Bollywood journey with the films “Devdas” and “Kabhi Kushie Kabhie Gham.” Plus, they urge listeners to learn more by researching Hindu nationalism (extra relevant this week) and the hijra community!
