We have a grand hypothesis: parenthood becomes inherently toxic because it's used as a tool to resolve parents' trauma. It's akin to a nicotine addiction but worse, because you are ruining another human being. Connect with us on all social media platforms available at privilegecheck.carrd.co !

From perpetuating intra-class love and poor representation of women to Americanizing the needs and desires of the Middle Eastern population, it's safe to say Disney is in a deep, deep, deep abyss of problematic.

This movie is the perfect example of trying too hard to be intersectional and not exploring it. White Feminism and "Male Feminists" Token Representation are just few of our problems with this movie.

She finds a new target in the simple and Hindi-speaking Shefali. But in the process, she ends up ruining her own relationship with close friends.

In this episode of The Privilege Take, we are reviewing a widely acclaimed film, The White Tiger. Directed by Ramin Bahrani and adapted from Aravind Adiga's 2008 Man Booker Prize winning novel of the same title, the movie follows the life of a poor and low-caste driver of a rich Indian family's dive into entrepreneurship with the help of his cunning wit. It stars Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav. This movie is by far our favourite purely because it presents a very raw and realistic take on entrepreneurship. Wholly recommend this to all of you! Connect with us on all social media platforms available at https://privilegecheck.carrd.co/

In this episode we look at a privilege that has been the determiner of socio-economic class for a while now. A privilege that as much as we would like to believe is the product of hard work, but probably isn't always so and that directly puts value on your life by means of determining the amount of respect you receive as a person.

Hi, we are so excited to tell you that we will be launching a whole new segment on our podcast called, The Privilege Take where we will dissect how movies perpetuate the misconceptions one develops and how the characters are molded by the invisible (only to them) privilege around them.

Years later, when Pooja escapes from the brothel where she is forced to work, she bumps into Blackie, now a taxi driver. We have A LOT to say about this and the song is not even the crux of the issue. Connect with us on all social media available at https://privilegecheck.carrd.co/

In this episode we talk about an unorganized religion. Well, it is not really a 'religion' but we call it so because many atheists follow it with the passion of organized religion. An unorganized cult ignorant of the privilege it wields. Connect with us on all social media platforms available at https://privilegecheck.carrd.co/

In this episode we check a privilege that is established as an intellectual stance. If you don’t agree, you really must be Patrick. A privilege, that seems like a neutral way of life but really is just ignorance. Connect with us on all social media available at https://privilegecheck.carrd.co/

In this episode we check a privilege that is such a glorified act. The people who abide by this think they are doing it for the greater good of the society and they preach about the same as well. It is a privilege that is given a high pedestal which makes its practitioners not realize the high horse that they are riding when they ridicule others for not being a part of the deed.

In this episode we check a privilege that we have been talking about in almost every episode now. Not as a topic but we have mentioned it. That’s what this podcast has become for us. It is a privilege that is spoken so much about and so casually that it feels like it is easy to avail. But it isn’t.

In this episode we check a privilege that is known for its boon or bane debate. But something that it is not remembered for, is being a privilege. It is a material, not so physical, that is everywhere yet not for everyone.

In this episode we check a privilege that is considered a right and to some extent, is. But, has this right been molded into a privilege by the few who have access to it?

In this episode, our hosts narrate some anecdotes and shed light on topics they missed in a whole new unscripted episode.

In this episode, we look at an established privilege. This is something that has tried and tested ka thappa and passes every standard of purity test. A privilege that everyone talks about, informed or not. Be it the burden or Lakshmi, each one has heard 'boys will be boys' and every virasaat ka haqdaar and Vaaris has heard 'lekin woh ladki hai'.

In this episode we check a privilege that claims to be a fundamental right by our Constitution. But is this really a right that everybody can literally afford to pay the consequences of?

In this episode we check a privilege that does not stem out of religions but is practiced under its name. A topic that seems to be acknowledged and empathized with but isn't: Caste.
