This story is a part of our edition ‘Pleasure and Danger’. Stay tuned for more stories from the Bolti Kahaniyaan series in this edition.
‘Bolti Kahaniyaan’ is a series of audio stories on gender, sexuality, power, caste, and violence. These stories, selected from Nirantar’s treasure trove as well as from the vast repository of Hindi literature, can be narrated in gender workshops, where these stories can facilitate discussions on serious and complex topics. These stories can also be used by schools, community libraries, youth groups, adult education centres, and men’s discussion groups to kickstart conversations and experience-sharing. Nirantar Trust has used these stories in field workshops and these have led to deep, interesting and even surprising discussions.
