About
What would you choose if your religious identity challenged your life? Survival or standing up for the Muslim in you? 'To be, or not to be, that is the question’ - a state of constant confusion that being a Hindustani Muslim (or Indian Muslim) brings with it. 'Main Bhi Muslim', the podcast, is born out of this confusion that co-hosts Mariyam and Sabika aka 'The Shayari Teller' will bring to your ears fortnightly, on Friday evenings. The podcast is a surreal reclamation space for individuality and plurality within the context of being an Indian, being a Muslim and everything in between. Give your good ear to their coming-out podcast, to hear out their long-closeted Inner Muslim. You're warmly welcome to join this journey, where these two Hindustani Muslims share their lived experiences and expectations to just be... to just breathe.
