Most of us are familiar with the sentiment. Shame can be crippling for one's mental and overall health and is a frequent reference for what is acceptable behavior in desi society. But why is shame such a large factor of desi culture? In this episode we explore shame and its ties to South Asian history, mental illness, and the desi condition as well as ways to take our power back and cope by silencing shame.
