A Very South Asian PodcastCoke Studio: Love from India and PakistanA Very South Asian Podcast w/Anushray I In today's episode, we discuss Coke Studio, a popular music television programme and a part of the international music franchise.

"Coke Studio has always been successful in the Indian subcontinent. Coke Studio Pakistan and India are almost like siblings, with overlapping styles and substance. Unique distinctions as well."

But, as an Indian, I feel joy going through Coke Studio Pakistan’s comments sections. Indians love Pakistani artists, people and culture. There is this overwhelming cultural undercurrent of two siblings alienated from each other. They love each other dearly, but they have to...

Self-awareness is freedom: Though it is quite scary but necessary. The real challenge that presents itself is both explicit self-awareness but realizing the judgements that other people have of you doesn’t all translate into what and who you really are.

I learnt that admitting your shortcomings is excruciating, but it indeed develops a self-image that you can envision in your own head which isn’t a by-product of some religious dogmas or advertising machinery. Natural confidence stems from the way you look at yourself. When you look at the mirror in the morning: do you despise yourself? or do you narcissistically worship yourself? or do you look at yourself as someone you really care about? These kinds of self-questioning are the initiation for self-examination to...

In this episode, we look into the philosophical insights of the Indian Netflix show Sacred Games. The show touches upon ideas of accelerationism, nihilism, Hindu mythological concepts of Satyug, Tamas and Kalyug. This show really dwells into human conditions of us vs them narrative, and our growing discontent for the world we live in and the future to come. The idea of a return to Satyug over self-worth is problematic, and the philosophies that the shows drudge upon is eye-opening and deep.

Indian Elections are one of the biggest democratic elections in the world where there are 900 million eligible voters who are voting for 543 Members of Parliament. This election is crucial in determining if the current Prime Minister Modi will be back again in power (which is very likely). This episode discusses the right-wing rejuvenation around the globe and how Modi’s India is turning into a very likely fascist regime which is supported by Hindu narrative, curbing of minority rights, media freedom and dwindling democratic institutions.
