What’s This Podcast
About?

Likhe Jo Khat Mujhe, a podcast series in Hindi from Radio Azim Premji University, highlights the unheard voices of everyday Indians. Hosted by Mayur Trivedi, an experienced development practitioner who teaches the Master of Public Health programme at Azim Premji University’s Bhopal campus, this show brings to life stories that reflect the complexities of poverty, marginalisation, and societal norms through imagined letters received from various people. Each episode presents a letter to the researcher from someone at the margins of society—a taxi driver questioning unsolicited health advice on his tobacco habit, a pastoralist navigating life in the wilderness while confronting societal pressures on contraception, or even the researcher’s mother who led a life under patriarchy questioning her son’s newly acquired gender sensibilities. Although fictional, these letters are inspired by real-world observations from fieldwork. They capture the complexities, frustrations, and emotions of individuals often reduced to case studies or statistics. Through heartfelt storytelling, Likhe Jo Khat Mujhe invites listeners to engage with these perspectives, cultivating empathy and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the millions of Indians living in the shadow cast by the juggernaut of progress and development.
