Welcome back to a new season of City of Women. As India celebrates her 77th Independence Day this month, we thought it only fitting to begin this season with an interview with oral historian and author Aanchal Malhotra.

As part of our Literary City of Women series, we speak to Aanchal about collecting stories, specifically women’s stories, and the impact they have on those that share them and those that receive them. Aanchal tells us about what it's like to travel to a foreign city for the first time, the vocabulary of trauma and she also reads from her book The Remnants of Separation. 

 To know more about Aanchal and her writing visit her website, and follow her on Instagram and Twitter. 

This episode was edited and produced by Radhika Viswanathan. Our Senior Producer is Menaka Raman. Our Sound producer is Yashwanth Vinay. Our Associate Producer is Ashrita Achar. City of Women is executive produced, hosted, and written by Radhika Viswanathan and Samyuktha Varma. City of Women is a Vaaka Media production.

In City of Women, we explore the calculated strategies, backdoor negotiations, and often absurd lengths women go to have fun and feel free in their city. 

Every Indian woman knows that being out in the city comes with rules - rules that determine who gets to be where and what you can and can’t do. But this  show is not about those rules. It’s about how they get broken, bent, and jumped over when women decide to do things just for themselves.  City of Women is fun, complex, and a bit of a joyride into the minds of women and the streets of Bangalore.
