India A Story in the Making with Loveena Tandon

“Trump’s attack on Iran was an act of extraordinary stupidity.” In Episode 47 of India: A Story in the Making, Sir Vince Cable, former UK Business Secretary, former Liberal Democrat leader, and now Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics and in Shenzhen, China, joins me for a wide-ranging, candid, and no-holds-barred conversation. We talk about Iran, Trump, the fading power of the West, and the rise of India and China and the critical mistakes that could still slow India’s growth, from its missed manufacturing moment to the challenges of reform in a complex democracy. Cable reflects on why he believes India is already a significantly bigger power than Britain in many ways, why globalisation is breaking down, and whether institutions like the UN and NATO can still do the job they were created for. We also get into the darker undercurrents of power in Britain — Epstein, Prince Andrew, Peter Mandelson, along with Britain’s colonial hangover, Westminster’s blind spots on India, and what a new world order could look like by 2050. Drawing from his book Eclipsing the West: China, India and the Forging of a New World, shortlisted for the Westminster Book Awards and soon to be published in India by Juggernaut, Cable lays out a world in transition, and the choices that will define what comes next.

By April 2025, India had the world’s second-largest road network, and NHAI built 5,614 km of National Highways in FY 2024–25, beating its 5,150 km target (Gov. of India data).There is still more to do, with 13,400 km more in the pipeline over the next three years. With pollution rising, renewable energy is often seen as the future.But there is a catch. What is it? Watch this full conversation with Amrit Chandan, an Indian-origin entrepreneur featured inForbes 30 Under 30, who may have found part of the answer. BOTH, NOT HALF, on India: A Story in the Making, with a few British Indian myths gently (and hilariously) busted along the way. 📺 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions 🎙️ Podcast – Smart Link:https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe 💬 Join Our Discord Community:https://discord.gg/p2UYt9uV5d Please do like SUBSCRIBE AND CONNECT ON DISCORD.

New Campus Conversations strand of India: A Story in the Making. In this episode, we ask Gen Z what the “trad wife” trend means to them and whether young men are becoming more traditional while young women move in the opposite direction. This comes against the backdrop of a global study across 29 countries by Ipsos and King’s College London, which reveals something striking, nearly a third of Gen Z men believe a wife should always obey her husband. But what do young people themselves think? From King’s College London to the London School of Economics and beyond, we speak to students in honest, unfiltered conversations about dating, gender roles, independence, money, and changing expectations in relationships. From who should pay on a first date…to whether marriage is still the goal…to what feminism really means today…this is a generation negotiating love, power, and equality in real time. And in India, the story becomes even more layered, where rising feminism coexists with deeply rooted traditions. 💬 What do you think? Share your thoughts and send us topics for future campus conversations. 🎙️ FULL EPISODE LIVE ON: 📺 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions 🎙️ Podcast – Smart Link:https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe 💬 Join Our Discord Community:https://discord.gg/p2UYt9uV5d ( REPORT: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/almost-a-third-of-gen-z-men-agree-a-wife-should-obey-her-husband ; https://www.kcl.ac.uk/assets/news/iwd-2026-global-charts-final.pdf ) Learn more about your ad choices.

A global study across 29 countries reveals something unexpected, among many other things. Are young men becoming more traditional… while young women move in the opposite direction? And in India, the story gets even more layered. We spoke to Gen Z to understand what’s really going on.

A new global study on gender attitudes by King’s College London and Ipsos, covering 29 countries and more than 23,000 people aged 18-75, raises some fascinating and worrying questions. ( REPORT: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/almost-a-third-of-gen-z-men-agree-a-wife-should-obey-her-husband ; https://www.kcl.ac.uk/assets/news/iwd-2026-global-charts-final.pdf ) The findings really got me thinking. If Gen Z men are becoming more traditional, in some cases even more traditional than their grandfathers while Gen Z women are becoming more progressive and identifying as feminists, what happens next? Will they struggle to find partners? And what does this widening divide mean for relationships, marriage, and the future of gender equality? In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, Leaving Men Behind, I sit down with Professor Heejung Chung, Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London, to unpack the findings. We talk about: • Why Gen Z men appear to be moving toward more traditional gender attitudes • Whether the “tradwife” trend on social media reflects reality • Why many young women feel men have not kept pace with change • What this could mean for relationships and family life • And why India emerges as one of the most fascinating, and complex cases in the study Some of the findings about India genuinely blew me away. If gender roles, expectations, and the changing dynamics between men and women in the Gen Z world, and how Gen X, Boomers and Millennials fit into this shift interests you, then Leaving Men Behind, is the episode for you.

A global study by King’s College London’s Global Institute for Women’s Leadership and Ipsos surveyed 23,000 people aged 16–75 across 29 countries. And some of the findings totally blew me away! Are Gen Z men becoming more traditional?Do Gen Z women actually prefer traditional roles more than we think?And why does India stand out in some of the most interesting ways? Released to mark International Women’s Day, the study suggests attitudes toward gender roles may be shifting,sometimes in unexpected directions. In this episode, I speak with the woman behind this remarkable research, including their work examining the “tradwife” phenomenon, a social-media trend romanticising traditional gender roles that has been exploding online, particularly on platforms like TikTok.
