It's Valentine's Day and love is being celebrated across the world. But the way we seek love has vastly changed, and India is no exception.
Technology and modern living have morphed how we find romance and express love. While popular culture continues to be overwhelmingly straight, many are breaking free of the default 'hetero' norm, to acknowledge their preference for non-heterosexual sexuality.
In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we ask: what are the different faces of modern love? Has the idea of romance changed? And how is it affecting our psyche, interactions with people, and the way we look at relationships?
Presenter: Devina Gupta
Contributors: Dr Pragati Singh, founder, Indian Aces asexual community, identifies as demisexual; Anika Verma, human rights campaigner, identifies as polyamorous and bisexual; Debolina Dey, assistant professor, identifies as lesbian and queer
