Prejudice against fat people

Nihal

Available for over a year

A new study is saying we should be more sensitive towards people who are overweight and we should not really be making fun of them because it is a form of prejudice just like sexism or racism. Is Asian culture insensitive towards fat people? Are we far more casual when using terms such as 'moti', 'jadi', 'go-lu' or 'ladoo'? Nihal asks 'Are Asians more insensitive towards fat people compared to other communities?' Listen to some very emotional callers and their experiences on our phone-in.
