Podcasts about Kerala

This week, we're joined by Andrew Clarke of Acme Fire Cult for an episode that goes everywhere — from fire cooking and restaurant building to addiction, recovery, music, and the moments that change a life. This is a conversation with a true original: chef, restaurateur, former Maverick of the Year, co-founder of Pilot Light, plant medicine facilitator, and owner of what may well be the best facial hair in London.We recorded this one at Acme Fire Cult in Hackney, and Andrew paints the full picture of how the restaurant grew from a scrappy lockdown car park operation into one of London's most unique dining experiences. He talks about starting with barely any money, serving on palm leaf plates because proper crockery was out of reach, and slowly reinvesting every pound back into the space. There are brilliant details throughout — the dark walk down Abbott Street before you reach the yard, the old wine bar they inherited, the butternut squash cooking overnight in residual heat, the signature leeks with pistachio romesco, Marmite bread made from brewery yeast, and the way Acme turns into a “curry house” each winter inspired by his travels through Mumbai, Goa and Kerala.But what makes this episode really special is just how much Andrew gives us. He shares stories from his childhood eating pie, mash and liquor, his early years wanting to be a professional musician, playing in metal and hardcore bands, DJing to fund his record habit, and drifting into kitchens almost by accident. He takes us through working at places like The Square, St. John, Anchor & Hope, Rita's, Brunswick House and St Leonards, with all the chaos that came with it — tattooed chef prejudice in old-school kitchens, sleeping on banquettes, wild post-service nights, and the intensity of trying to create great food while his life was unravelling behind the scenes.This episode also gets incredibly raw. Andrew speaks movingly about depression, cocaine addiction, telling his dad he didn't want to live anymore, and the long road back through honesty, friendship, therapy, men's circles and plant medicine. He tells unforgettable stories — a terrifying first ayahuasca ceremony in a blacked-out room in Essex, reviving a collapsing croquembouche at a wedding, a non-paying table turned into tequila-shot regulars, and the mad reality of building restaurants with brilliance and dysfunction happening at the same time. It's hilarious, heavy, generous and packed with hard-won wisdom — and by the end, you'll understand why Andrew Clarke is one of the most compelling figures in hospitality today.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

Since its discovery in 2014, the Keeladi excavation near Madurai has emerged as one of India's most contested archaeological sites – celebrated by some as evidence of an early urban civilisation in South India, and dismissed by others as an exercise in political mythmaking. In her latest book, The Dig: Keeladi and the Politics of India's Past, journalist Sowmiya Ashok traces the accidental unearthing of this ancient settlement and the political storm that followed. Her journey moves across India's archaeological landscape – from early Iron Age sites in Tamil Nadu to the Harappan site of Rakhigarhi in Haryana, and the lost port of Muziris in Kerala. Along the way, she speaks with archaeologists while enduring the blazing heat, clings to precarious platforms at a roaring jallikattu arena, and even samples fragments of ancient pottery at an excavation site. Sowmiya Ashok speaks to Kulasegaram Sanchayan about The Dig. - 2014ஆம் ஆண்டு கண்டுபிடிக்கப்பட்டதிலிருந்து, மதுரைக்கு அருகிலுள்ள கீழடி அகழாய்வு, இந்தியாவின் மிக அதிகமாக விவாதிக்கப்படும் தொல்லியல் தளங்களில் ஒன்றாக மாறியுள்ளது. தென்னிந்தியாவில் ஒரு நகர்மயமான பண்டைய நாகரிகம் இருந்ததற்கான சான்று என சிலர் இதை போற்றினாலும், மற்றவர்கள் இதை அரசியல் நோக்கமுடைய வரலாற்றுக் கற்பனை என நிராகரிக்கின்றனர். இந்தப் பின்னணியில், The Dig: Keeladi and the Politics of India's Past என்ற தலைப்பில் சமீபத்தில் ஒரு நூலை வெளியிட்டுள்ள பத்திரிகையாளர் சௌமியா அஷோக், கீழடி என்ற பண்டைய குடியிருப்பு எவ்வாறு தற்செயலாக வெளிப்பட்டது என்பதையும், அதனைத் தொடர்ந்து எழுந்த அரசியல் புயலையும் விரிவாகப் பதிவு செய்கிறார். தமிழ்நாட்டின் இரும்புக் காலத்திற்குரிய ஆரம்பகால தளங்களிலிருந்து, ஹரியானாவின் ஹரப்பா நாகரிகத் தளமான ராக்கிகடி, கேரளாவின் மறைந்துபோன துறைமுக நகரமான முசிறி வரை – இந்தியாவின் பல தொல்லியல் நிலப்பரப்புகள் வழியே அவரது பயணம் விரிகிறது. அந்தப் பயணத்தில், கொளுத்தும் வெயிலில் அகழாய்வு தளங்களில் தொல்லியலாளர்களுடன் உரையாடுகிறார்; ஆர்ப்பாட்டமான ஜல்லிக்கட்டு அரங்கில் நடுங்கும் மேடைகளில் தன்னை நிலைநிறுத்திக்கொள்கிறார்; அகழாய்வுத் தளத்தில் கிடைத்த பழங்கால பானைச் சில்லுகளையும் சுவைத்துப் பார்க்கிறார். ‘The Dig' என்ற அவரது நூல் குறித்து, பத்திரிகையாளர் சௌமியா அசோக், குலசேகரம் சஞ்சயனுடன் உரையாடுகிறார்.

At just 16 years of age, Raul John Aju already has a formidable stack of achievements under his belt.The teenager from the Indian state of Kerala runs his own company creating artificial intelligence tools, advises governments on how to use the tech, and teaches students how to engage with it in their professional and personal lives.His prodigious activities have earned him the moniker “AI Kid of India” at home, and an invitation to speak at the recent 2026 India AI Summit, where he met politicians and top officials – including UN chief António Guterres.UN News's Anshu Sharma sat down with Raul at the summit and asked what had got him interested in technology at such a young age.

Yoga today is widely understood as a physical practice centered around flexibility and postures. However, its original intent goes far beyond the body. In this episode, we discuss how yoga is not an activity performed for an hour a day, but a lifelong process of refining awareness and transforming the way we perceive ourselves and the world. We examine why suffering has traditionally been the starting point for yogic enquiry, how identity and conditioning shape our experience of reality, and why true yoga involves freeing ourselves from deeply rooted mental patterns rather than simply improving physical capability.Episode Highlights: Why yoga was never meant to be limited to physical posturesThe true goal of yoga: moksha and the removal of sufferingWhy suffering and crisis often initiate deeper spiritual enquiryHow identity itself becomes a source of sufferingThe original definition of asana, according to PatanjaliThe importance of relaxing effort and cultivating awarenessHow yoga transforms personality, perception, and life experienceEpisode Timestamps:00:00 – 05:00: Yoga is more than a physical practice05:00 – 10:00: Yoga as a path, not an activity10:00 – 15:00: The deeper goal of yoga: removal of suffering15:00 – 20:00: Why a crisis often becomes the doorway to yoga20:00 – 25:00: How the mind shapes your entire experience of life25:00 – 30:00: Moksha, desire, and freedom from mental bondage30:00 – 35:00: Chitta vritti and breaking free from conditioning35:00 – 40:00: The illusion of identity and the source of psychological suffering40:00 – 45:00: Spiritual identity and the subtle ego trap45:00 – 50:00: The true meaning of asana according to Patanjali50:00 – 55:00: Effortlessness and the transition into deeper states of awareness55:00 – 60:00: Yoga as a complete system for inner transformationAbout Prasad Rangnekar:Prasad Rangnekar is an internationally respected yoga teacher known for his deep study and teaching of traditional yoga philosophy, especially the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. His work focuses on restoring the original intent of yoga as a path of inner transformation rather than merely a physical practice.About Dr Vignesh Devraj Dr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

In this episode of Dream Malayalam, I sit down with Ashin Krishna, founder of Altersage Innovations, the startup behind CocoBot — described as the world's fastest, lightest, and most advanced coconut harvesting machine. Kerala faces a growing shortage of skilled coconut climbers. Harvesting is risky, physically demanding, and increasingly unsustainable. Instead of accepting the problem, Ashin asked a bold question: How can I solve this problem? From prototypes and early failures to building a real tech startup in Kerala, Ashin shares the mindset, challenges, and vision behind CocoBot. We discuss innovation in agriculture, building hardware startups in India, and why world-class technology can emerge from local problems. This is more than a robotics story. It's about courage, persistence, and creating solutions from the ground up.

The headlines of the day by The Indian Express

Rare earth elements (REEs), a group of 17 minerals, have become central to global industry and geopolitics. They power electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, semiconductors, consumer electronics and advanced defence systems. While moderately abundant, they are difficult and expensive to extract and process. China has built overwhelming dominance in this sector, controlling nearly 90% of global processing and about 70% of production, despite holding only around 30% of global reserves. In 2025, China imposed a series of export restrictions on these elements, disrupting supply chains worldwide. Since then, supply restrictions have eased since then. For India, the vulnerability was stark. Despite holding around 8% of global reserves, the country produces less than 1% of global output and imports to meet its requirements. In a bod to increase domestic capacity, the government launched the ₹34,300-crore National Critical Mineral Mission in January last year, and followed up in the Union Budget this year. In her Budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the government's plans to set up dedicated rare earth corridors in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and manufacturing of Rare Earth Permanent Magnets. Can meaningfully reduce India's dependence on imports, strengthen strategic industries, and position the country as a serious player in global advanced-material supply chains?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Ayurveda's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts of Agni. Often translated simply as “digestive fire,” Agni is far more than digestion. It is the body's intelligence to transform food into energy, nutrients into tissues, experiences into learning, and stress into resilience. When this ability weakens, stagnation begins. And stagnation, Ayurveda says, is the starting point of disease.Episode Highlights:Why Agni is considered the essence of lifeHow digestion, immunity, and clarity are all expressions of AgniThe difference between Ama (toxins), Ojas (resilience), and Kapha How does lifestyle shape Agni far more than medicinesWhy are autoimmune diseases not randomSrotas: The intelligent functional pathwaysTimestamps: 00:00 – 05:30: What Truly Governs Health?05:30 – 11:00: What Is Agni Beyond “Digestive Fire”?11:00 – 16:30: Levels of Agni in the Body: From Digestion to Tissue Formation16:30 – 21:30: How to Assess Your Agni?21:30 – 26:30: Agni Beyond the Gut: Mind, Vision, Skin & Metabolism26:30 – 35:30: Strengthening Agni the Right Way35:30 – 41:00: Ancient Bodies in a World of Excess41:00 – 46:30: Mental Stress & Agni Breakdown46:30 – 52:00: Pratyaparadha: When Intellect Turns Against Health52:00 – 57:30: Agni, Ojas & Manas: The Triangle That Runs the Body57:30 – 1:00:00: Autoimmunity Through an Ayurvedic Lens1:00:00 – 1:05:30: Srotas: Rethinking Disease Pathways1:05:30 – 1:11:00: Structural vs Functional Srotas1:11:00 – 1:16:30: How the Body Decides What You Become1:16:30 – 1:21:30: Agni, Dhatu Agni & Why the First Conversion Matters Most1:21:30 – 1:27:00: Can Biomarkers Measure Agni? 1:27:00 – 1:29:30:Treating the Person, Not the ReportAbout Dr Vaidya M PrasadDr. Prasad M, a postgraduate in Ayurveda, has been practicing Ayurveda since 1996.

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry. Javiera Barandiarán is Associate Professor in the Global Studies program at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  Sandra Elizabeth is a graduate student enrolled at the Department of Sociology in Shiv Nadar University, Delhi- NCR. Her research relates to water- control projects implemented in a low- lying, deltaic region in South- West Indian state of Kerala called Kuttanad– which is dubbed as the state's rice granary.

Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry.

Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Kerala and Tamil Nadu, scheduled to have Assembly elections soon, and stressed the need for a double-engine government. The term double-engine government refers to having the same political party (in this case, the Bharatiya Janata Party or its allies in the National Democratic Alliance) in power at both the Centre and in a State. Critics of this model include Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who has asked how Opposition-ruled States are doing well without a double-engine government. Does a double-engine government ensure growth? Louise Tillin and Yamini Aiyar discuss the question in a conversation moderated by Sai Charan. Edited excerpts:Does the discourse around a double-engine government imply an inherent bias against non-BJP/non-NDA governments in the States? Guests: Louise Tillin is Professor of Politics at King's India Institute, LondonYamini Aiyar is former President and Chief Executive of the Centre for Policy Research and senior visiting fellow at Brown University Host: Sai Charan Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Learn more about your ad choices.

durée : 00:58:57 - Le Book Club - par : Marie Richeux - De son enfance dans le Kerala auprès d'une mère hors du commun, à ses premiers combats contre le gouvernement indien et ses succès littéraires, Arundhati Roy raconte, dans son dernier livre "Mon refuge et mon orage", une vie de résilience et de lutte. - réalisation : Vivien Demeyère - invités : Arundhati Roy Écrivaine et militante indienne

En avril 2002, dans le village de Plachimada, au Kerala, une poignée de femmes issues de communautés autochtones se dresse contre l'une des plus puissantes multinationales du monde, Coca-Cola. Peu après l'ouverture d'une usine d'embouteillage, les puits s'assèchent, l'eau se pollue et les terres agricoles deviennent infertiles. Les familles tombent malades, les récoltes disparaissent et la vie quotidienne bascule. Face au silence des autorités et au déni de l'entreprise, les femmes organisent un sit-in permanent devant l'usine. Jour après jour, sous la pluie et la chaleur écrasante, elles tiennent bon. Leur lutte, non violente et déterminée, attire l'attention des scientifiques, des ONG et des médias. Les analyses révèlent une contamination grave des nappes phréatiques et des sols. Le combat devient juridique, politique et symbolique. Après deux années de mobilisation, la justice ordonne la fermeture de l'usine. Cette victoire locale marque un tournant mondial dans la lutte pour l'eau comme bien commun.

It's Friday, February 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 21 of 22 churches destroyed in Christian town in Myanmar since coup On January 30, the Burma Research Institute released a scathing report detailing destructive attacks, murders, and harassment of Christians and churches since the military coup in 2021 that forcefully took control of Myanmar, reports International Christian Concern. Some of the key findings include: 21 out of 22 churches in Thantlang Town, a majority-Christian town, have been destroyed and the town's population displaced since 2021. More than 340 churches and Christian buildings have been destroyed. 149 Christians murdered and 218 imprisoned from 2022 to 2025. One unnamed church leader, who is still living inside Myanmar, testified powerfully that the faithful are now scattered across jungles, remote areas, and informal shelters, struggling to preserve their faith and communal life under constant threat and insecurity. Pastor in India forced to eat cow dung After accusing a pastor in Odisha, India of forcefully converting Hindus to Christianity, a group of Hindu nationalists forced him to eat cow dung and drink sewer water, reports International Christian Concern. The incident occurred on January 4th, but only became widely known in recent days, prompting nationwide outrage and criticism. A mob of 40 people, reportedly affiliated with the Bajrang Dal — the militant wing of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh — stormed a home during a prayer meeting in Parjang village, and accused the pastor of conducting “forced religious conversions.” Pastor Bipin Bihari Naik was dragged from the house and beaten with sticks. His face was smeared with red vermilion. Sandals were hung around his neck. He was then paraded through the village for nearly two hours. Pastor Naik was eventually taken to a local Hindu temple, where his hands were tied to a metal rod, and he was forced to consume cow dung and drink water from a sewer. They also tried to force the pastor to chant Hindu slogans, but he refused to do so. In a statement on X, Pinarayi Vijayan, the chief minister of Kerala, wrote, “Forcing a human being to eat cow dung is a deeply inhuman act, emboldened by the silence and complicity of BJP-led governments.” Landslide in Congo kills 200 miners A landslide last week collapsed several tunnels at a major coltan mine in eastern Congo, leaving at least 200 people dead in the rebel-controlled site, reports the Associated Press. The collapse occurred  Wednesday at the Rubaya mines, controlled by the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, after heavy rains caused several hand-dug tunnels in the unregulated mine to cave. The M23 rebels and the Congolese government traded accusations over responsibility as reports from the remote region began to emerge. The collapse is one of the deadliest disasters in years in an area already facing a humanitarian crisis and ongoing conflict. Trump announced prayer gathering to rededicate America to God Appearing at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump explained that the Department of Education will protect the right of public school students to pray. TRUMP: “Today, I'm also pleased to announce that the Department of Education is officially issuing its new guidance to protect the right to prayer in our public schools. That's a big deal.” (applause) President Trump also announced that Americans are invited to attend a special prayer event on the 250th birthday of America in our nation's capital. TRUMP: “In the last 12 months, young Americans attended church at nearly twice the rate as they did four years ago to support this exciting renewal. This morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17, we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray. We're going to rededicate America as one nation under God.” (applause) Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie addresses kidnappers of her mother In a tearful video posted Wednesday on Instagram, “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie — flanked by her sister, Annie Guthrie, and her brother, Camron Guthrie, pleaded for more information from the possible kidnapper of her 84-year-old mother, saying her family is “ready to talk,” reports NBC News. GUTHRIE: “Our mom is our heart and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you. And we are ready to listen.” In the Instagram video, Savannah thanked the public for “the prayers for our beloved mom,” Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen Saturday night in her home outside Tucson, Arizona. She was reported missing after she did not show up for church.  Nancy had no cognitive issues, and her disappearance was not linked to dementia. Blood was found on the front porch of Guthrie's house. DNA analysis has confirmed the blood belongs to Nancy Guthrie. A doorbell camera to her home was disconnected and removed at 1:47 local time and at 2:28, Guthrie's pacemaker was disconnected from her phone, an app shows. Fox10 TV reports that investigators are taking seriously a ransom note sent to a handful of media outlets connected to her disappearance. Heith Janke, the FBI chief in Phoenix, announced that they have arrested Derrick Callella in Hawthorne, California. Shocking lessons taught on college campuses today And finally, according to Students for Life's January newsletter, college students are being taught shocking lessons – often paid for by our tax dollars. * Harvard University has a class called, "Come hammered. Get Nailed: Safe Sex Under the Influence.” * Ohio State University features a class entitled, "Fighting Abortion Stigma with Planned Parenthood." * And Grand Valley State University has one called “Breaking Up with Purity Culture.” If that's not enough, they'll be encouraged to write Valentine's Day “thank you” cards to abortionists! The truth is many colleges have turned into little more than recruitment centers for Planned Parenthood's bloody business by first encouraging students to experiment sexually and then funneling vulnerable young women to abortionists to “take care of” or murder the natural consequences of sex – precious little babies. Campus missionaries with Students for Life are confronting the Culture of Death with three outreaches. First, setting up Cemetery of Innocents displays that visually expose the gruesome reality of abortion featuring 1,102 bright pink crosses commemorating the preborn babies aborted by Planned Parenthood every day. Second, hosting table events that spark one-on-one conversations with pro-abortion college students. And third, screening the pro-life movie Unplanned which tells the incredible conversion story of Abby Johnson, who was a Planned Parenthood director-turned-staunch-pro-life-activist, after she witnessed a preborn child squirming for its life away from an abortionist's tools during an abortion.

Last month, during the joint session of the Karnataka legislature, Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot walked out of the House after reading only a few lines of his customary address prepared by the State Cabinet. The Chief Minister accused the Governor of violating his constitutional obligation and indicated that the government was considering approaching the courts. The incident followed similar developments in two other Opposition-ruled States. In DMK-ruled Tamil Nadu, Governor R. N. Ravi walked out of the Assembly without delivering his inaugural address. In LDF-ruled Kerala, Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar omitted portions of the speech cleared by the Pinarayi Vijayan Cabinet. Should the practice of Governors addressing the State legislatures be scrapped?

Lets understand what healthy boundaries truly mean, not as rigid walls of protection, but as living, conscious guidelines rooted in self-knowledge. This conversation looks at why boundaries keep shifting, how attachment and detachment coexist, and when boundaries turn self-destructive. We discuss how the body communicates its limits through signals like fatigue, digestion issues, skin breakouts, and even chronic disease and why ignoring these signals comes at a cost. This episode is for anyone who feels “bad at boundaries” and is ready to replace control with clarity, fear with awareness, and resistance with conscious choice.Episode Highlights :Healthy boundaries are not walls or emotional prisonsHow self-knowledge determines the quality of your boundariesRecognizing self-destructive boundaries How your body “keeps the score” Baby Steps for Healthy Boundaries Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - 05:00: What are Healthy Boundaries? 05:00 - 11:00 How do you know your boundaries are healthy? 11:00 - 19:30: Love-Hate Relationships 19:30 - 35:00: Know Body to know your Boundaries 35:00 - 42:30: How to address pent up feelings42:30 - 46:00: Self-love in the purest form Guest Profile: Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

The conversation touches on real-world victories and tough lessons, from engaging companies on issues like slave labor in supply chains to transforming retirement portfolios to better reflect Christian ethics.Whether you're an investor, a professional, or simply seeking to do good through your daily work, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and actionable steps on living out your faith in every area of life.GUEST BIO:Robin John was born in a small village in Kerala, India, and immigrated to the United States at the age of eight.

Deep Cosmopolitanism: Kutiyattam, Dynamic Tradition, and Globalizing Heritage in Kerala, India explores the extraordinary past and present of Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater, the world's oldest continuously performed theater. Recognized as India's first UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of humanity, the matrilineal temple art of Kutiyattam has been performed by men and women in Kerala, India, since the tenth century C.E. This book illustrates how Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater has encountered multiple forms of cosmopolitanism over the course of its thousand-year history. Exploring how Kutiyattam artists create meaning out of their deep past through everyday narratives and reflections, author Leah Lowthorp traces the art's cosmopolitan encounters over time, from the premodern Sanskrit cosmopolis to Muslim sultans, British colonialists, Communist politics, and UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. In so doing, Lowthorp fundamentally rethinks the notion of cosmopolitanism from a non-Western perspective with premodern roots and offers a critique of the colonialist undertones of how international heritage organizations like UNESCO conceptualize peoples and traditions around the world. Diving into an ethnographic exploration that considers Kutiyattam's multiple cosmopolitanisms over a period of one thousand years, Deep Cosmopolitanism offers a model for decolonizing modernity and challenges us to rethink what it means to be cosmopolitan, traditional, and modern in the world today.
