"Birth" encompasses a multitude of social, cultural, and political dimensions. Whether considering human rights, power dynamics in families, bodily autonomy, government schemes, hospital protocols, reproductive rights, or policies, all the macro and micro aspects of our existence that constitute 'Life' impact a woman's birth.

Today, I'm joined by Sanjana Krishnan, a Political Scientist by profession, with a passion for regeneration. She is the co-founder of the Beejvan Biodiversity and Collaborative Research Foundation and also a home birthing mother of two daughters, who enjoys learning about various indigenous healing modalities.

Together, we delve into:

1. What is Politics and how it intertwines with our social and cultural fabrics, impacting a woman's birth experience.
2. Gender Roles and Power Dynamics.
3. Social Positioning and Power Dynamics in families affecting Birth.
4. Government Policies and Schemes affecting Birth.
