Jilted Indian Pod

It's time for our annual Jilted Indian book club episode! We are joined by resident book expert, fellow shitty Indian, and protest sister, Ishita Patel Kent, to discuss Balli Kaur Jaswal's Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows. Come for a discussion of Desi themes throughout the narrative, and stay for the vegetable metaphors!

1.8.20 Note: We neglected to include a Trigger Warning in the episode itself. There is some talk about child marriage and all that entails in this episode around 31:40 until 32:45. We apologize for the oversight.

In this bonus episode, the Jilted Indians talk about Gurinder Chadha's "Blinded By the Light" a coming of age story about Pakistani-British immigrant family and Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" a story about a family's lie to their dying matriarch. SPOILER ALERTS abound as Miranda and Puja talk about representation, the "Asianness" of these films, and celebrate watching movies written and directed by Asian women. Go see these movies. Special Note: these films inspired a whole Jilted Indian Pod episode on internalized suffering.

Why are we shocked by the mistreatment of the indigenous? Why are we shocked by racism, gender inequality, or police brutality and mass incarceration of black men? The constitution is working. Join the Jilted Indians as we discuss the importance of listening to indigenous voices and building a shared memory of the history of this country on a special Indigenous People's Day episode.

"Oh, it's nothing," or, "It's okay, you're busy and I don't want to bother you," is one thing when you are recovering from arthritis pain, and something else entirely when being hospitalized for something serious. Why is it that brown parents downplay their suffering toward their children, and how has that affected our ability to reach out to others as the next generation? Join the Jilted Indians as we talk generational trauma with friend of the pod and LMFT, Shameela Keshavjee.

The Jilted Indian Podcast was invited to present "A Reimagination of the Yule Ball Gowns" as a live podcast recording at Leaky Con 2019 in Dallas. In this hour, we mercilessly drag the costuming decisions made for the Patil Twins in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie. We pay homage to the Patil Twins and we educate our audience on what Indian fashion actually is because we want #JusticeForThePatilTwins.

It's time for a shitty Indian litmus test with the Jilted Indians! We are in season 3 and we have grown into our shitty Indianness (if you're just now joining us, shitty Indian is a term of belonging FYI). In this episode we check in with where we are as human beings, have we gotten over insufferable shit from our past? Are we halfway there? What about you?

For an episode that was recorded more than two months ago, this episode is timely. What happens when a woman quits the patriarchy? What exactly does that mean and more importantly, what arts and crafts does she/they/he take up with all of the extra energy? A lot is covered in this episode from women's evolutionary superiority (we live longer, ask an insurance actuary) to the women running for president. Join the jilted Indians for a discussion on quitting the patriarchy.
