Cage Tiger: How Too Much Government Is Holding Indians Back
The mommy makes tape is a podcast that attempts to start conversations around motherhood and maternal mental health. Priya, Gunja and Bakule talk about what it's really like to be a mum in India. They also share their thoughts on the subject of parenting with us.
India is like a caged tiger -- and the cage is unseen by most and difficult to break through. Subhashish Bhadra joins Amit Varma in episode 333 of The Seen and the Unseen to describe the many ways in which the Indian state holds back the Indian people -- and also to introspect on his own journey.
