EP 73 - Challenging Gender Stereotypes - Rajat Mittal

This Friday, 23rd April is World Book Day and the Pop duo have an author on this episode, Rajat Mittal. Rajat Mittal is an engineer turned creative & author. He has co-authored three books for young women, namely Menstrupedia: Friendly guide to healthy periods, and two editions of She Can You Can: The A-Z Book of Iconic Indian Women. 

Earlier this year he started a monthly newsletter called Boyish. It discusses how gender stereotypes affect boys in India and telling inspirational stories of Indian men who defied these stereotypes. Rajat is a loving dad to his two-year-old son. 

Nadir Pop and Peter Pop speak to Rajat about this journey as a author, working on two books and the inspiration behind Boyish. They also discuss the changing gender stereotypes and the role that the media plays in it.
