Listen on

Episode notes

Relive some of the highest-rated, most listened-to episodes of That Desi Spark on The Greatest Hits! 

Jasvinder Sanghera came home from school at the age of 14 to find out she was promised to be married. Running away at great personal risk, she was supported by her sister, who herself was married young and died by suicide after suffering from abuse. These experiences led to the founding of Karma Nirvana, an organization in the UK that has helped over 30,000 people, most of whom are of South Asian descent, escape from honor-based violence, forced marriage, and domestic abuse situations.

Listen now to this interview with Jasvinder, conducted during Season 3 (then The Woke Desi).
