A Very South Asian Podcast w/Anushray I In today's episode, we discuss Coke Studio, a popular music television programme and a part of the international music franchise. . "Coke Studio has always been successful in the Indian subcontinent. Coke Studio Pakistan and India are almost like siblings, with overlapping styles and substance. Unique distinctions as well." . But, as an Indian, I feel joy going through Coke Studio Pakistan’s comments sections. Indians love Pakistani artists, people and culture. There is this overwhelming cultural undercurrent of two siblings alienated from each other. They love each other dearly, but they have to separate due to social, cultural and political situations. . In case you do not know, South Asia is an umbrella term used for the Indian subcontinent, it spans major landmasses from the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. People from this region are also part of the growing diaspora across the world, especially in the West. I hope I can bring stories, ideas and generate curiosity about lives, lived experiences and cultures from this beautiful region. Namaste!
