‘Secret Life of My Vagina’ examines South Asian female sexuality

‘Secret Life of My Vagina’ examines South Asian female sexuality
(Brown Daily Herald)
The monologues are among the first in the United States to address the sexuality of South Asian women. Last year, two South Asian cultural organizations at Stanford University hosted “Yoni Ki Baat: Talks of the Vagina,” addressing similar issues. Indian filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s 1999 film “Fire” chronicled a lesbian relationship, triggering strong condemnations and acts of vandalism at theaters that showed the production.

Great Hindi title, unless somebody mistakenly translates it as “douchebag,” but that’s unlikely. More power to the vagina!
