On this special Valentine’s Day episode of the JHR Podcast, we shine a light on a bold movement defying societal norms in India -- the India Love Project. Launched on Instagram by journalists Priya Ramani, Samar Halarnkar and Niloufer Venkatraman, this initiative documents and celebrates inter-faith, inter-caste, and LGBTQ+ love stories in a country where such relationships often face intense scrutiny and resistance.
JHR Executive Director Bill Killorn hosts this episode. He sits down with Priya Ramani to discuss the project's origins, its impact amid rising Hindu nationalism, and how storytelling has become a powerful tool for challenging prejudice and promoting inclusivity. From viral social media posts to an Amazon Prime series, the India Love Project has grown into a beacon of hope and inspiration for couples daring to love beyond cultural constraints.
An uplifting conversation about the power of love, the role of journalism in shaping narratives, and why standing up for choice matters now more than ever.
