17-02-2021 • 53 mins

This is the second episode of What's a Man? Masculinity in India podcast in which your host Deepa Narayan, an award-winning researcher, explores what power means to young boys and men.

The questions we ask are simple. You will first hear the most common responses about power from some of the 250 middle and upper-class boys (including 7-year olds) and men interviewed for this podcast.

Deepa Narayan then explores the nature of power and its consequences in different models of masculinity. Special Guests include General Panag, a retired army general, Anand Giridharadas, a New York Times Bestselling author and political commentator, and Vishal Talreja, head of an NGO who gave up his CEO role to learn to exercise power in a more feminine way.
