I draw on my personal and research experiences to place common issues facing desis in a larger social and economic context. Weaving together narratives, opinion, research, and clips from over 100 interviews with Indians on three continents, this show puts forward the issues that preoccupy Indian dinner parties in a not-so-India West framework.

Desi Dilemmas Draws you in... 
By: yeshaji
Smitha Radhakrishnan puts her sociological and storytelling expertise to good use in drawing you in to her fascinating, insightful and intelligent podcast on the dilemmas of South Asians the world over. In the vein of an NPR show (like a Desi All Things Considered) Smitha makes this topic intriguing to all, Desi and Non-Desi alike!
