Parents, Power & Politics ft. Syed Muzammil Shah - Thinksome Podcast#4

In this podcast, we explore the dynamics of power in human interactions. As a child, the earliest experience of politics we all have is Family Politics. Almost all of us have seen it, have gone through it, have benefitted from it, have lost to it and what not. It is frowned upon to look at the system of family from the perspective of a power structure. The discussion was focused more on this aspect of the family system. It was super cool having ‪@syedmuzammilofficial7067‬ over for this discussion as he is one of those few people in Pakistan who dare to question and do not shy away from dissecting sociopolitical power structures.
