À propos de cet audio

Today’s episode of Why This Now? by Re:Set sheds light on the experience of living in India as a Black person.

Wildlife conservationist Monica Fatogun, singer and music journalist Robert 'Bob' Omulo, model and karaoke host Princeton Ugoeze Aguocha, and President of the Nigerian Association in Bangalore and IT professional Timmy Iwoni share their stories of facing racism and discrimination in their daily lives while finding housing and jobs, being heckled on the street, or dealing with law enforcement in the country. We touch on the colonial roots of India’s obsession with fair skin, the appropriation of Black culture amongst Indians, stereotypical representation of Black people in Bollywood, and the mental health effects of it all.
