Manu is always a delight to listen to. Every time he gives an interview, there's so much to learn about our history!

Both manu and the interviewer are a delight to listen..Manu's knowledge and insight into history is commendable ..He has so much to say on every aspect discussed.The topics put forth by the interviewer also keeps us engrossed rather than the cliched ones..

One of the nicest episodes. Loved listening to the stories. More power to women!! 🎉

Great stuff .. please keep these episodes coming... Thanks

These talks should reach a wider audience especially youngsters who are fed mostly doctored history on social media and may be even in schools

Couldn't agree more

Towards the very end, there is a reference about the history of indentured labour. It is worthwhile to mention here, Amitav Ghosh's Ibis trilogy

This is a truly fantastic series...Kudos to SparX for conceptualising and presenting such interesting topics with Manu Pillai...Congratulations and may you build many more such series....🙏

Thank you for another fantastic episode. Very interesting questions and even more interesting examples. Feeling sad we have only one more episode with Manu.

Manu being delightful as always. Brilliant episode! ❤

so much to learn and unlearn!

Such interesting stories in this episode

Such amazing talk..always delighted to hear from Manu

Such a delight to hear this guy 😍. Watched all three episodes in one go.

The irony two men discussing women history. A women historian included in the discussion would have added a lot of value.

I would like to add a point for how the poets convey their poems in history, …earlier temples used to be and still are in some places a part of community centres for villages -where women used to go everyday earlier.Everyone collected to temple for the activities of music, dance ,marriage , festival. Which happened in and around the temple. it’s still a case in Himachal Pradesh many villages. I have also seen in Goa stages made with temple where Goans meet and sing together and worship.

I can listen to these stories all day ❤

Hearing these stories, it just seems shrewdness is a tool to success.

Excellent. Some minor corrections, Bahinabai was not Brahmin but Mahajan.

Hi! Mahajan Bahinabai is a later figure from the 19th and 20th centuries. We are speaking of Bahinabai of the 17th century who lived in Shivaji's time.

Maharashtra the land of reformers.

True. I find Maharashtra history and people (and food also with its unique complex flavours) very interesting. You see so much of contradictions which makes it fascinating. The land of reformers, yes, but also the land of Golwalkar, Savarkar, Nagpur RSS ideologies, and Savitribhai Phule, and several other forward thinking women. The contrast between Mumbai and Pune in history is also very interesting. You have Bollywood and also some fascinating independent Marathi films. And Mumbai itself is such a contradiction in itself, which makes it the most interesting Indian city for me.

Correction - Bahinabai was not a brahmin.
