I was in tears when I looked at insights about the podcast. Thanking each one of you for the love extended to my podcast & my thoughts 🙏🏻I am sorry for being away! The world around changed in these 06 months & so did I. I am back again to bid goodbye for Season 1 of the show. This episode includes small yet impactful examples of our help that we can extend to stop gender inequality. I am pledging for ‘Gender Equality for 2024’. Are you with me? A small surprise at the end of the episode.

Welcome to Episode 09 of The समानता Show. I apologise for the delay in the release of this episode. This episode will leave parents thinking of their contributions towards gender equality. Before recording this episode. I sat down with my nephews & asked them to one of these - A Pilot, An Astronaut & A Doctor with a name. What you see on the cover of this episode is what they have drawn. Out of my 4 nephews, only one drew a female. A pilot - Meera. The others drew Dr. Drishaan, Dr. Maulick & Astronaut Tom. This is a sad reality that out kids think of a man whenever powerful career options are talked of. It is time to question our generational parenting.

The समानता Show’s team met the transgender folks in Chandrapur & here is what they have to say! This episode includes a raw unscripted recording of a community that is asking a few questions & seeking support from the society! It is a small step towards equality. A demand to have better laws, medical infrastructure & protection to this beautiful community! I stand with them & I hope one day each one of you will also stand for them! Link to the national portal for Transgender Persons is here - https://transgender.dosje.gov.in/. I request you guys to listen to the entire episode as it has a special guest speaking their hearts out for your support! मैं हाथ जोड़ के शुक्रिया करना चाहती हूँ। करीना चौधरी और सजना का मुझसे मिलने के लिए और अपना वक्त शो की टीम के साथ बाठने के लिए ।

I stand with each one of you & support you in your journeys! All this while The समानता Show talked about Male & Females. Gender Identity is not limited to biologically assigned genders but goes beyond that. This podcast covers aspects of the LGBTQ community, understand their side & do not blame or discrimate them for being a certain way! Do not fake to fit in! Be who you are! This is a gift of acceptance to my friends who are Lesbians, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Intersex or Asexual!

Last week, we had a chance to watch The Kerala Story! We have some indifferent observations for you from a perpective of Gender Equality. Indian parenting today forms the basis of any value. The समानता Show brings in the comnection between Indian parenting, The movie - The Kerala Story & Gender Equality. The freedom that we do not give our children but end up giving them in the later years of life only brings in misuse & instance like The Kerala Story!

बहू कोब बेटी जैसे रखेगे, क्यों भाई ? क्योंकि बहू की इज़्ज़त नहीं होती, उनके साथ हमेशा ख़राब व्यवहार ही होता है? Because in our society we think daughters are treated well but not daughter in laws. If you can imagine your daughter/son to be in a place like your husband or wife & treated in the same manner that you are treated right now & makes you happy & content? If yes, you are a gem my friend! But, if it does not make you happy or leaves your worried, you know what you have to change!

We explored Gender Stereotypes, Impact of these stereotypes on genders & what has happened because we follow them. In this race we are humans first & our genders come later. With this beautiful quality of humanity, can we help people cope up with the impact of gender inequality. Listen to find out how we can.

Bharat Bhagyavidhata! Till this day & age there are laws which supports a specific gender. When we think deep, yes! They are still there & we live with it. Our generation is the most evolved & capable to drive changes. It is our time to change!

A father & son visit the stadium to witness a match. As soon as the son entered the seating area he mentioned to everyone around. ‘I’m proud to be a son of the opening bowler of today’s match’. How is this possible? Listen to find the answer. You will be shocked!
