Uma Bhandary describes what it was like growing up in India

Description

In this interview, conducted November 25, 2018 in Dallas Texas, Saira Shetty interviews her grandma Uma Bhandary. Uma recounts what life was like growing up in South India during the mid 20th century. She shares stories about her childhood and details what her parents were like. She also explains traditional gender roles and describes how marriages worked in India at the time. Her marriage, along with many other young women living in India, was arranged. This means that she had little to no say of who she was going to spend the rest of her life with. Instead, her parents arranged for who she was going to marry. In the end, everything worked out, since I, her grandchild, was the one conducting the interview.
