E20 - The Great Indian Injustice | Ft. Vinush & Naveen

In this episode, we discuss about the documentary “Kakkoos” by Divya Bharathi which reflects upon the unimaginable misery that manual scavengers face in India and how and why such an injustice has not received the kind of attention it should have.

We highly suggest you to watch this documentary to really understand the seriousness and the hardships faced by this issue.
The YouTube link to the documentary : youtu.be/-UYWRoHUpkU

E18 - யார் வந்தேறி? | “Early Indians” book discussion | Ft. Hari Bharathi & Naveen

In this episode we discuss about an excellent book EARLY INDIANS by Mr. Tony Joseph. It won'e be an exaggeration to say that the discussion on this book is indispensable today to keep a clear head amidst the current misleading and dangerous political narratives like "one nation, one religion, one language".
This episode is an attempt to make more people know about this important book written devoid of political appropriations and to provide a scientific basis to support the Cliched saying "Unity in Diversity".
We have tried to speak about the important take aways of the book, but this book definitely promises much more interesting information than what is spoken in this episode.
This book is a must read to know about:

Who are the first Indians?
Who are the Harappans?
Who are Dravidians and Aryans?
Did Aryans invade or migrate from Outside of India?

Book Suggestions:

Somanatha: The Many Voices of a History - Romila Thapar
Early India: From the Origins to AD 1300 - Romila Thapar
Who We are and how We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past - David Reich
Understanding Harappa: Civilization in the Greater Indus Valley - Shereen Ratnagar
