Shreya Ghoshal on patriarchy in India
On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Shreya recently wondered why there weren’t enough female singers in top 50. “Fact is India thoda sa patriarchal hain. Aaj bhi (India is patriarchal, even today). Leave concerts, see number of songs on charts. Tell me how many songs are there which are sung by females,” she said, adding, “This was not how it was in our country. It is very ‘now’. This lopsidedness has come now.”
