- Ep4: Ashok - The legend of AshokavadanIn this brand new episode, meet the Ashok of the ancient Indian legend - Ashokavadan - written sometime in the 2nd or 3rd century CE. This legend tells of Ashok's transformation from a cruel version of 'Chandashok' to the pious image of 'Dharamashok'. This episode will tell you why, and how he undergoes this transformation. But even more importantly, it will show you how legends create larger-than-life images of their heroes and their purposes. Written in the 2nd-4th century CE, the Ashokavadan carries that image of Ashok which had survived for nearly 500 years after Ashok's death. Most of the sculptures in Sanchi and other Buddhist sites are inspired by the stories of the Ashokavadan, and the larger collection of stories, Divyavadan, that it is part of. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ranjit-pawar6/message4|25min

- Ep 10: The Forgotten Era - Begum Sumroo_Part 1This brand new episode kicks off a journey into an era of Indian history that is the least understood in the country. Learn about a time when civilizations clashed and collapsed to mark the end of one empire and the start of another, less benevolent rule that would push Indian into poverty and loss of identity for a long time to come. Begum Sumroo is one such character who played an interesting role, though on the fringes of this historical battleground. Her life is made more interesting by the fact that she boldly ruled in a world otherwise dominated by men alone, and the many romances in her life that would also impact the politics of her day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ranjit-pawar6/message10|18min
