episode Burnings, Beheadings and Bleeding Breasts cover

Description

If you think Romeo and Juliet is heartbreaking, this story is not for you... Shreya and Diya dive into one of the most famous Indian (Tamilian) plays ever written- 'Silappatikaram'. A tale full of affairs, betrayals- oh, and that one decapitation. Listen in to the perceptions and stereotypes present in 5th century India- the ideals of a perfect woman, what constitutes justice- and how the actions of one person can change the fate of an entire city. Intro: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)
