‘Indian men are facing a loneliness epidemic and we’re not talking about it’

Somewhere between Amitabh Bachchan’s Angry Young Man and Rajesh Khanna’s “Pushpa, I hate tears”, a new Indian man was born whose emotional range began with anger and ended with hatred. Sarthak Gupta, a counselling psychologist at Lissun, says, “It was like they were subtly letting us know that anger is the only acceptable emotion for a man.” Psychologist Vishnupriya Bhagirath says, “Indian men are facing a loneliness epidemic and we are not talking about it enough.”
