In this episode, Lisa Mitchell of the University of Pennsylvania discusses the role of language in Indian politics - and southern India in particular. 

She also explains how even the emergency stop chain on trains can be a tool of political protest. 

The interviewer is the Centre of South Asian Studies' Dr Edward Anderson. 

The South Asia Podcast is a production of Cambridge University's Centre of South Asian Studies.

In each episode we sit down with a scholar who has contributed something extraordinary to our understanding of history, politics or culture in South Asia, and get a deeper insight into their work. 

The second film we visit an English medium private school in Hyderabad which is modelled on the Waldorf Steiner approach. The teachers generally work with the same group of children over several years, moving with them as they progress up through the levels of school. The lessons typically have a relatively slow pace, with a focus on deep learning, reflection and discussion.

In this lesson, the teacher aims to focus on different festivals in India to support cross-cultural understanding of children who practise different religions.

Having the chance to go back to Hyderabad, India for a wedding of our two friends, Preetham and Spandana, was an unforgettable experience. Not only did we have the opportunity to partake in the many ceremonies of the marriage including Sangeeth, Haldi, Groom’s Day, Bride’s Day, Mehndi, and the huge wedding event, we also visited Hitec City, Nalgonda, and Gandipet. The incredible visit included a trip out delivering invitations on a motorbike, dancing choreographed steps to Indian music, and making a trip for Toddy palm wine. The people were all incredibly kind from the families to our amazing hosts. We stayed with four different families, met kids on the streets playing cricket, and enjoyed late nights understanding the culture. This India trip will not be forgotten, and we hope you enjoy us telling our unique story of discovering more reasons why we love to travel so much in this episode of Passport Joy Travel Talk.

Underwear? Guys don’t like to talk about underwear unless they are complaining...that’s likely why I don’t mention mine….but since you asked,  I wear Tommy John!

It's the perfect underwear to keep you comfortable no matter where your travels take you.
