Welcome to the very first episode of the South African Spice podcast!
In this episode, we explore the multifaceted identity of South African Indians. Defined by their distinct ethnicity, South African Indians have a rich cultural heritage shaped by traditions, languages, and customs rooted in their Indian ancestry. Despite being classified as a separate racial group historically, they proudly embrace their South African nationality, contributing to the nation's diverse multicultural landscape. The episode delves into the significance of culture, religion, and the complex interplay of race, ethnicity, and nationality, offering a nuanced understanding of what it means to be a South African Indian in today's dynamic and evolving society.
I also explain how I identify as a South African Indian, why I started this podcast, what to expect in upcoming episodes and who you will hearing from in future episodes.
