Saffron Spice with Isha & Shivani

Miscellaneous


Why is it important for every Indian child to be a Doctor, Engineer or Lawyer? When it comes to careers, Indians have been known to gravitate towards the more lucrative and “safer” fields such as engineering, law and medicine. In this week’s episode, Isha & Shivani explore why Indian parents are obsessed with these career options.                           They discuss parental pressures and the value placed on higher education amongst Indians; sharing their own experiences of the expectations they faced during their schooling.   Finally, Isha & Shivani question, what motivates, drives, and challenges Indian immigrants more than others? Is it education, language skills, hard-working culture, values, diversity? They look at reasons why Indians continue to outperform other immigrant communities.  Subscribe to receive notifications about new episodes every week.
