Or as we say in Hindi: Log Kya Kahenge? That's it; the (in)famous line we’ve grown up hearing from our Desi mums when we are about to do something that to them is worthy of bringing shame to the family. Got caught in public holding hands with a lover? What will people say? Can’t cook an Indian meal to save your life? What will people say? Who’s going to marry you? Went to a relative’s house and filled your plate with too many samosas? What will people say? They’ll think your parents didn’t teach you any manners!
In this episode we explore what the very legitimate fear of others’ opinions means to us as the new wave of young South Asian adults living in the diaspora. Do we still genuinely care what other people think of us? Have we taken our parents’ and grandparents’ deep-rooted fears of what other people will say and simply translated them into our context, rather than eradicating the mentality completely?
