Diksha Basu on feminism in India

 

Diksha Basu is an award-winning novelist and journalist. Diksha generously cracks open her heart open so that she and Gabe can carefully examine the contents therein. And what they find is her fabulous grandmother as well as her squad of powerful and hilarious aunts: these women in Delhi have not just shaped who Diksha is but have armed her with invaluable tools to contend with the messiness of life.
