Shreya Ghoshal Highlights Gender Disparity in Indian Music Charts

Shreya Ghoshal, a prominent Indian playback singer, discussed gender disparity in India's music charts during a podcast with Raj Shamani. She noted that unlike global charts where female artists often lead, Indian charts feature few women, reflecting broader societal patriarchy. Ghoshal highlighted that earlier generations, including Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, saw strong female dominance, but recent years show a decline in female representation in top songs.
