Jyotsna Mohan Bhargava worked with NDTV for fifteen years as a senior news anchor and senior news editor. She is a columnist for newspapers and digital publications in India and abroad. Her latest book, “Stoned, Shamed, Depressed” covers topics that are as taboo in the mainstream media as they are at the family dinner table. But should they be? Through a series of interviews with psychologists, surgeons, principals, and of course the youth themselves, Jyotsna throws a light on the unfortunately hidden lives of India’s teens. In our conversation, we discuss drug abuse, examination pressure, gaming addiction, and much more!
