Madhavi Menon is a scholar of desire and our first guest on our season, Possibilities of Love! This conversation is rooted in Madhavi’s incredible book “Infinite Variety: A history of Desire in India”. We talk about colonialism, caste, hindu mythology, Sufi poetry and darghas as a site of desire, yogic and tantric paths, adornment, the institution of marriage and love stories that capture our imagination! This episode speaks to an expanded landscape of history and ideological shifts of desire, and how desire is the rawest form of us🔥
