This podcast explores South Asian history and culture from the perspective of South Asians themselves.

Episodes
EP 76: The South Asian Diaspora on Indigenous Lands
North America looks the way it does today because European settlers took land that Indigenous peoples were already living on. They did this through unfair treaties, wars, forced removal, and taking land by force. Historians call this settler colonialism — when newcomers move in, push out the original people, and build a permanent society on their land. And this didn't end in the past. It still hap
EP 75: South Asians Are Facing A Modern Day Health Crisis
This episode could save your life! Across the world, South Asian communities are facing an alarming rise in heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes, and high blood pressure. And it's not just affecting older people. Young people who are fit, thin, and have no family history are showing no symptoms until it's too late. But this crisis runs deeper than diet or lifestyle. Our health risks are rooted i
EP 74: How Ancient India Ruled The World
If you ask someone what ancient India gave to the world, most people will probably say "yoga." But for over a thousand years, India was an intellectual, cultural, and spiritual centre of the world. From astronomy and art to literature, language, religion, and philosophy, India was a powerhouse of ideas that traveled far beyond its borders. So why don't more people today know about this part of Ind
EP 73: How Israel Sold 'Homeland Security' to India
When we hear the phrase 'homeland security,' we usually think of the United States. But long before 9/11, Israel was already building a model —one based on occupation, surveillance, and control. After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, India promised it would never be caught off guard again. But instead of rebuilding from within, it became one of Israel's biggest customers. Not just for weapons, but for sur
EP 72: Deepa Mehta

Each of her films tells a different story, in a different way—but what ties them all together is her deep and unwavering love for her people. She captures their history, their joy, and their sorrow with honesty and grace. Her films are bold. They're vi
EP 71: The Making of Indian-Occupied Kashmir
When countries in the Global South gained independence from European colonial rule, they didn't fully break away from the systems imposed by their former colonizers. While they became independent nations, they continued to follow the same ideas about borders, governance, and state power—ideas shaped by colonial rule. In other words, they removed foreign rulers but didn't necessarily rethink the st
EP 70: Anglo-Indians
During colonial rule of India, relations between British men and Indian women became regular practice, and over generations a large and growing 'mixed race' community developed. They would come to be known as Anglo-Indians and have their own distinct identity. Anglo-Indians held a unique position at the crossroads of race, color, and class. They were never fully colonizers nor colonized, but somet

EP 68: Kerala and the Arab Gulf
Kerala was once one of the poorest states in India. However, in the 1970s, the oil boom in the Gulf sparked a surge in demand for labour which was largely filled by Keralites, thus transforming the fabric of Kerala society forever. When we talk about migrant labor, we often focus on the economic side. But we forget that cities are not just built from stone and bricks. They are also built on dreams

EP 65: British Asians of the 1970s and 80s

EP 59: Portuguese Goa
When we think of Goa, we usually think of beach parties, vacation, or that movie Dil Chahta Hai, but Goa was once the headquarters of the Portuguese empire in the East for 450 years. They were the first colonial powers in the subcontinent and the last ones to leave. The Portuguese brought a different face of Christianity and they used it to impose their rule over Goa. They planned for Goa to be th
EP 58: Saket Soni
In 2006, just after Hurrincan Katrina, hundreds of Indian workers were lured to the United States with false promises of a green card and forced to work under grueling working conditions at a shipyard in Mississippi.
