What does it mean to inherit more than just money, like expectations, silence, and systems that need rethinking?
In this episode, author Keshava Guha joins Aashna Malhotra to discuss The Tiger’s Share, a novel that explores how family duty, gender, class, and climate intersect in the heart of Delhi.
