On the Move in Mongolia
sound portraits of Mongolian women

There I was, an Indian woman on the move in a strange new land -  Mongolia - and it didn't feel so strange. So much resonated - especially the voices of other women - like Monjago, a nomadic herder, Munkhtsetseg, a horse trainer, Onika, a student, Amgalan, a language teacher and Jainaa, a singer. They made faraway feel like home.  
Produced and researched by Shebana Coelho
