On the latest episode of Discover Your SecondAct Podcast Season 4, we have an exceptional guest: Prof. Bijayalaxmi Nanda. She is the principal of the ever-prestigious Miranda House, University of Delhi.

With this episode, we wanted to bring to light the fact that, contrary to popular belief, feminism is not a new phenomenon in India.

It is not a buzzword or another Western fad endangering men of our society; it is a multi-generational struggle to address and challenge the capitalistic-patriarchal foundation with a vision to build an inclusive society with equitable opportunities and dignity for all.

In our conversation with Prof. Nanda, we discussed her 3 decades+ journey at Miranda House, learnings from celebrated feminist activists, the evolution of feminism in the 21st century, how the battle of the sexes is a conditioning, and her SecondAct.

Our Key Takeaways:
✅ Not the love for power; the power of love goes a long way.
✅ Patriarchy causes damage to both men and women in society.
✅ More vulnerability is needed in competitive academic spaces.
✅ Women must respect and celebrate themselves.
