Today is Indigenous People's Day! In the first of two episodes, we discuss how America's foundation of murder, theft, and exploitation continues to bear rotten fruit in the dismantling of native rights. CW: In this episode, we talk about the tragic discovery of indigenous children’s bodies found buried underneath residential schools in Canada. We also discuss the current Supreme Court case attempting to dismantle the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement (Landback), recent news regarding attacks on indigenous rights in Brazil, and the Stop Line 3 movement.

S5.E2 - As the World Burns: The Fight For Native Rights

Remember when we tried to record a season in the midst of a pandemic AND a chronic stress-inducing election in 2020? Lol, and then we couldn't bring ourselves to keep going? Believe it or not, smack dab in the middle of election day and the declaration of Joe Biden as president, in tandem while isolated in our homes, we decided to sit down, watch a Bollywood favorite, Dil To Pagal Hai, and record a roast of it for 45 minutes. It gave us the levity we needed then and since 2021 is no better we decided to release this episode now. We invite you to laugh with us as we discuss this film and share our top WTF moments. Spoiler alert: Once again, in a completely different film, Rahul deserves no one.

S4.B2 - We Approve Kal Penn's Message

On Blackout Tuesday, a number of people posted a black square in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Everyone can agree it is a good thing that more people are aware of the injustices faced by the black community. However, racism and inequity didn't magically disappear that day (as evidenced by the election). So, now what? What should the black square people do next to move our society toward equity? Join the Jilted Indians as they discuss allyship and anti-racism.

S4.E3 - Hey Black Square People!

On the morning of Nov. 7, we peeled our faces from our pillows and (with one eye open) checked our social meeds to learn that Senator Kamala Devi Harris was now MADAM VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT KAMALA DEVI HARRIS (it sinks in more every minute, even as we type this description). In this episode, we share our post-election thoughts and we offer you a bonus: an unreleased segment from our Election Spectacular episode, where we loved on our future Vice President. Grab your chai and your Parle-G crackers. This one's for the books.

S4.BE1 - On Madam Vice President Elect Kamala Devi Harris

As a podcast born from the madness of the 2016 election, it only makes sense that we do an election special. Tune in to hear a special shade tree segment, our thoughts on voting plans and electability. Anju pops off. It's pretty much Miranda and Puja's favorite. Finally, we close with a dramatic reading you won't want to miss. We had to bring the humor. You know what they say, laugh to keep from spiraling--we mean crying. Both.

Chances are, you're quarantined at home. Now you have plenty of time to catch up on some crazy current events in India regarding the most recent heinous acts of the BJP, Hindutva, and the RSS. Our focus is on the anti-Muslim Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Some of you may be thinking, surely this isn't India! But it is...How TF did India get here? The Jilted Indians made this episode to catch you up. For those of you with family in India, and for those of you in the Indian diaspora whose heritage is important to you, press play.

To the shock of everyone who knows her, Miranda sat down to deliberately watch a Bollywood film with Puja. Together, they address the context of this film in the Bollywood timeline, as well as their top WTF moments (i.e., Miss Berganza, the clothes, the religion flipping, and that wedding).

S3.BE6 - Bollywood Watch Party - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

We recorded this in the second week of January but safe to say now, it didn't take long for 2020 to suck. Still, we jilted Indians power through by talking about what we want to focus on doing in 2020, along with lifting up the brown people in politics we are hella excited about. It isn't all rainbows, we had to throw out about 20 minutes of rants and make concise our shade tree segment.

Come for a discussion of Desi themes throughout the narrative, and stay for the vegetable metaphors! 1.8.20 Note: We neglected to include a Trigger Warning in the episode itself. There is some talk about child marriage and all that entails in this episode around 31:40 until 32:45. We apologize for the oversight.

S3.BE4 - Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

In this bonus episode, the Jilted Indians talk about Gurinder Chadha's "Blinded By the Light" a coming of age story about Pakistani-British immigrant family and Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" a story about a family's lie to their dying matriarch. SPOILER ALERTS abound as Miranda and Puja talk about representation, the "Asianness" of these films, and celebrate watching movies written and directed by Asian women. Go see these movies. Special Note: these films inspired a whole Jilted Indian Pod episode on internalized suffering.

S3.BE3 - You Gotta See These Movies

Why are we shocked by the mistreatment of the indigenous? Why are we shocked by racism, gender inequality, or police brutality and mass incarceration of black men? The constitution is working. Join the Jilted Indians as we discuss the importance of listening to indigenous voices and building a shared memory of the history of this country on a special Indigenous People's Day episode.

S3.E5 - Listening to Indigenous Voices

"Oh, it's nothing," or, "It's okay, you're busy and I don't want to bother you," is one thing when you are recovering from arthritis pain, and something else entirely when being hospitalized for something serious. Why is it that brown parents downplay their suffering toward their children, and how has that affected our ability to reach out to others as the next generation? Join the Jilted Indians as we talk generational trauma with friend of the pod and LMFT, Shameela Keshavjee.
