Portugese, Banned Languages and Grinding Songs

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

What connects the assasination attempt of King Jospeh 1 in Portugal, the ban on the Konkani language in Goa and a story about a young Lord Krishna, whose bravery provided the name of a famous waterfall? And how does it have an impact on almost all our culinary practices as Indians? This week, in the fourth episode of Fabulous Foods, we discover an unlikely music and storytelling tradition which is fast disappearing from our landscape. Tune in, and discover how this tradition encapsulates primal emotions felt by women, and how does it become a benchmark to evaluate countries we travel to.
