Welcome to the first episode of What's a Man? Masculinity in India podcast where your host, Deepa Narayan, guides you through an auditory experience exploring what it means to be a man today. Based on over 200 in-depth interviews with middle and upper-class men in Delhi, Mumbai, and other cities. It features special guests Amish Tripathi - India’s superstar mythologist, and Sushant Digvikar - a gay man, actor, singer, and drag queen, we’ll explore how the myths and expectations of being a man box many into a narrow definition of masculinity--damaging men and perpetuating gender inequality.
