Send us a text

Behind Delhi’s grand monuments lie forgotten women, silenced voices, and untold truths.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden histories of India’s powerful women — from Mughal harems to queens like Raziya Sultan and Jahanara Begum.
Through stories of Partition, refugee trauma, and Indira Gandhi’s formative years, we explore how emotional scars shape personal and political legacies.
Nitika Arora, co-founder of Darwesh Heritage Walks, brings these stories alive through a feminist lens of storytelling and performance.
We also delve into Delhi’s spiritual underworld — haunted havelis, jinns, and the unseen energies that still haunt the city.
More than history, this is a journey of memory, identity, and reclaiming the voices we were never meant to hear.
