- Coke Studio: Love from India and Pakistan
A 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 separate due to social, cultural and political situations..In case you do not know, South Asia is an umbrella term used for the Indian subcontinent, it spans major landmasses from the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. People from this region are also part of the growing diaspora across the world, especially in the West. I hope I can bring stories, ideas and generate curiosity about lives, lived experiences and cultures from this beautiful region. Namaste!18 min - Raja Ravi Varma I Indisputable Father of Modern Indian Art

#49 Tanshi
.Tanshi is a Delhi-based queer handpoke tattoo artist. Tanshi is a young artist who is creating beautiful tattoos using the handpoke technique, which in my basic understanding is almost like an analog way doing tattoo as opposed to doing it with a machine. They are less invasive, less painful, and “less intimidating” than a machine-done tattoo. The designs are original and unique. Tanshi is known for quirky flash designs which are hand poked.I was able to talk about great topics ranging from handpoke tattooing to life in general to perspectives of being a queer artist working in urban India. I hope I was able to provide a meaningful conversation. I enjoyed my chat with Tanshi, hope you enjoy it too..Welcome to A Very South Asian Podcast!
