In this episode, Atharva and Atish explore the many manifestations of the notion of honour. What precisely is honour? Is it merely an archaic formulation that is today the force for such evils as bigotry, sexism, and honour killings; or does it masquerade as something else, something novel and essential today, in these post-industrial times? How's honour related to and distinct from duty, and self-esteem? We discuss these questions and more, with special regard to the Indian subcontinent's long history of understanding these concepts in all their multitudes.
