how does deepavali, police brutality and gatekeeping intersect?
Deepavali Valthukkal! We hope you've had a wonderful Diwali and ate lots of food and sweets and that you're continuing the festivities wherever you are! We thought it would be fitting that we do an episode on Diwali and what we typically do. We also discuss COVID-19 and how that's affected everyone's celebrations and the recent news on another case of police brutality in Malaysia among the Malaysian-Indian community. We also touch on the gatekeeping of identity and "not being Indian enough" as a struggle some of us go through. Tune in to hear more! Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @auntyplease. The episode is out now on Spotify, Apple iTunes, and Anchor! Let us know what you think!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aunty-please/message
