West Indies Cricket, Jackals and Mariamman Temples
Manage episode 321730681 series 2575536
In the early 2000’s, a concerned government official approached Dave Martins. Dave was an iconic musician from the Caribbean, who was the lead vocalist of the band Tradewinds. Someone who had his finger on the pulse of the Southern Caribbean islands. The government official asked him to write a song to quell the ethnic violence in Guyana. In another time, at the turn of the 20th century, Tamilians from Madurai and Dindigul were flocking the ports of Pondicherry, Karikal and Madras waiting to board ships for a better future.
What could possibly connect the ethnic violence in Guyana to the ports of Tamil Nadu? This week, in the eight episodes of the series, The Great Migration, we trace the history, mythology and stories of indentured migrants. We discover what connects West Indies Cricket, Jackals, the Mariamman Temples of Tamil Nadu and the Sheetla Devi temples of North India, and what they teach us about the human race.
