Bombay vs Delhi: Cultural Capital, Political Power & the Male Gaze

Bombay versus Delhi isn’t just a city rivalry—it’s a clash of cultural capital and political power.

In this episode of Not Your Aunty Podcast, Shunali Shroff and Kiran Manral unpack why Bombay is often framed as the cultural capital, while Delhi carries the weight of being the political capital—and how that imbalance shapes everything from public spaces to the male gaze.

From a casual stop in the Qutub area that felt unsettling, to pop culture references like Delhi Crime, the conversation explores why certain cities feel safer, freer, or more watchful than others. Is it history? Is it North Indian patriarchy? Is it power concentrated too closely to politics?

This isn’t a Bombay-good, Delhi-bad conversation. It’s a nuanced look at how cities absorb power, patriarchy, culture, and perception—and what that means for women moving through them.
