‘Their love was so innocent, so sweet, so organic and we just wanted them to end up together because even they knew that some of the queer films always end in tragedy and they were worried that something like that's going to happen but that didn't happen and so people were really happy with it.' Nikki Bedi speaks to Rohan Kanawade, the acclaimed director whose debut feature Cactus Pears or Sabar Bonda, made history as the first Marathi-language film to premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. It also became the first Indian drama to win the festival's International Grand Jury Prize. Set in Kanawade's home state of Maharashtra, Cactus Pears is a groundbreaking Marathi-language love story between two men. Drawing on his experience of mourning his father, he reveals how grief, memory and identity found their way into his film. He also talks about growing up in a poor area of Mumbai with parents who accepted and supported his sexuality.Thank you to the Arts Hour team for their help in making this programme.

This episode featured a conversation with Rahul Sonpimple, founder of the All-India Independent Scheduled Castes Association. Our conversation began with Rahul's conception of Indian history and the place of anti-caste struggle within it. We delved further into Rahul's own understanding of “anti-caste” as deeply rooted in Ambedkar's own argument about the necessity of force in emancipatory social transformation. Rahul was especially forthright about the political cost of elevating meekness as a moral condition, a choice that he associates with the rise of a Dalit middle class focused primarily on securing its own representational authority. This took us to a discussion of the need for an independent and consolidated Dalit politics rooted in the lives of the Dalit poor with sufficient leverage to negotiate terms with the state. The last part of the episode focused on Rahul's critique of both Ambedkarites and Indian Marxists for their disregard of caste as a material question. He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

Our GuestKavita Ezekiel Mendonca is a poet, teacher and the daughter of Nissim Ezekiel, widely regarded as the father of modern Indian poetry in English. Kavita means ‘Poem' in Sanskrit. Born in Bombay into a Bene Israel family, Kavita grew up in multilingual family, encouraged to respect the many faiths in her community, and where her father made a deliberate choice not to follow the wave of Bene Israel emigration to Israel. His reason: if everyone goes, who stays and does something for this country? That question runs through this whole conversation.Kavita now lives in Calgary, where she writes and teaches. Her poetry draws on her Bene Israel heritage, her multilingual childhood, and the kitchens, synagogues and village visits that shaped her sense of who she is. In this episode, she reads her poem Give Me Oil in My Lamp, which quietly captures what Jewish identity can look like when it has nothing to prove.Key TopicsGrowing up Bene Israel in Bombay: religion, community and the world outside the doorNissim Ezekiel and his choice to stay in IndiaPoetry as inheritance and practiceYour GuideNissim Ezekiel (1924-2004): Indian poet widely regarded as the father of modern Indian poetry in English. Born in Bombay into a Bene Israel family, he published his first collection A Time to Change in 1952 and went on to define a new idiom for Indian writing: rooted in the everyday, sceptical of abstraction, deeply Indian and specifically Jewish at the same time.Bene Israel: One of the oldest Jewish communities in India, traditionally believed to have arrived on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra over two thousand years ago, possibly following a shipwreck. The community developed distinct traditions, including Marathi as a communal language and the malida ceremony. Aliyah: Hebrew for ascent, and a word used for immigration to Israel. Following the Partition of India, and through the 1950s, a significant number of Bene Israel families made aliyah, reducing the Mumbai community considerably.Konkan: The coastal strip of western India running through Maharashtra. The traditional homeland of the Bene Israel community and the setting of the shipwreck legend that forms part of Bene Israel origin stories. The village of Alibag, which features in Kavita's poem, sits near this coast.Want to Learn More?If this conversation connected with you, these episodes are close neighbours:A Jalebi and Challah Sandwich (Season 1, Episode 2): Penny interviews Eylan about his own Bene Israel and Ashkenazi heritage.

To mark our 200th—yes TWO HUNDREDTH—episode, we chose a film that celebrates cinematic history. Harishchandrachi Factory is a Marathi film about the making of the very first feature film in India, and it's a peculiarly light-hearted approach to an event with massive consequences. Dadasaheb Phalke is portrayed as a less crabby Willy Wonka, surrounded by people who mostly say yes, easily, to all his whims. This film is missing much commentary on the significance of Phalke's work beyond "it was the first feature film" and spends no energy investigating anything juicy—what was it like to undertake such a project as a person of color in a subject area of the British empire? what sacrifices were made to appease investors? what was it like to shoot on location?—but it's a very enjoyable presentation of time period and a group of people that all of us movie-mad folks should know more about.

There are journeys that merely take us from one destination to another, and then there are journeys that quietly transform the way we look at humanity itself. My years of travelling across the length and breadth of India and abroad as a journalist have never been limited to assignments, deadlines, cameras, or reports. They have been an ongoing education in human emotions, contradictions, resilience, beauty, and the astonishing plurality of life.Every city, every village, every railway compartment, every tea stall, every backstage corner of a theatre, and every modest household has introduced me to people I had never imagined I would meet. And perhaps that is the greatest gift of travelling with open eyes and receptive ears- the world constantly surprises you. Society reveals itself not merely through headlines or events, but through ordinary individuals carrying extraordinary stories within them.Over time, I realised that my true fascination did not lie only in meeting deadlines or “covering” events. My heart was increasingly drawn towards people- their obsessions, passions, peculiarities, silences, artistic madness, vulnerabilities, and invisible emotional landscapes. Some people devote their lives to preserving a dying musical tradition. Some quietly nurture literature in forgotten towns. Some continue creating despite poverty, loneliness, or complete absence of recognition. There are also those whose tenderness, pain, humour, and courage never become visible to the larger world, yet remain unforgettable once encountered.As a documentarian and storyteller, I often feel that my responsibility extends beyond information. Documentation, for me, is not the mechanical act of recording facts. It is an emotional and ethical process of preserving the fragile textures of human existence before they disappear into silence. Memory is not merely nostalgia; it is continuity. It helps societies remain connected to their emotional, artistic, and moral inheritances.There are countless moments from my journeys that continue to live within me like secret lamps- illuminating my understanding of people and creativity. Many experiences cannot even be fully articulated. Some encounters become deeply personal treasures, impossible to translate entirely into language. They remain within me as guiding lights for an unsuppressable creative impulse that continues to shape my work and my perspective.I have often felt that the world moves too quickly to truly listen. We are surrounded by noise, speed, consumption, and endless distraction. In such a climate, attentive listening itself becomes an act of resistance. To sit with someone, to allow them space to remember, to speak, to sing, to reflect - these are deeply human acts. Through audio, visuals, conversations, interviews, and archival efforts, I try to preserve not only personalities, but also the emotional atmosphere surrounding them.One such memorable moment came while I was working on a documentary exploring the journey of Marathi theatre. During the course of filming, I met at the home of the accomplished singer Shaila Datar. It was one of those gentle, unplanned encounters that remain etched in memory far beyond the formal purpose of the assignment. Prachi displayed immense warmth and kindness towards me, she graciously agreed to hum a few lines in her beautifully trained and tender voice.That small moment may appear insignificant in the larger scheme of things, but for me, it carried the essence of why I continue doing what I do. It was not merely about recording a voice. It was about preserving an atmosphere, a sensitivity, a fleeting human exchange that otherwise would have vanished into time. Cover and Text IrfanSuch moments remind me that documentation is not simply technical work- it is an act of emotional preservation. Read more in Memorywala journal.

The seekers in these stories travel through worlds both ancient and modern, worlds of symbol and fantastical allegory, on their paths to greater truth. The state of Maharashtra is famous for its ancient Buddhist cave complexes. It's also known as the birthplace of leaders in the struggle against caste oppression: Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule in the early 1800s, and B. R. Ambedkar in 1891. It is here that Dr. Ambedkar, architect of the Indian constitution and warrior against the practice of untouchability, led marches for the right of Dalit people to draw water from community wells, to enter temples, to live with dignity. The Seekers (Blaft Publication, 2025) consists of five stories that hold Phule-Ambedkarite thought at their core, weaving together the history of ideological conflict, the pursuit of artistic excellence, and the unquenchable human thirst for freedom. The book tells of ancient revelations, of flood and fire, of vast deadly deserts, of people turned to stone. It is a unique work of anti-caste Marathi literature that feels both timeless and sparklingly new. "...Gautamiputra's stories shun the beaten path, chart their own course, and leave indelible footprints for others to follow" —Raja Dhale (1940-2019), writer and activist, co-founder of the Dalit Panthers Gautamiputra Kamble is an award-winning Marathi writer. His background in literature and philosophy informs his interests and activism—he is the editor of Secular Vision magazine, coordinator of the Secular Art Movement, and President of the Secular Movement and Secular Education and Research Institute, Sangli, Maharashtra. He has also served as the President of Phule-Ambedkar Shahu Teachers Association, Kolhapur. Parivrajak (The Seekers) was first published in Marathi in 2004; it has featured in curricula for post-graduate courses and civil service examinations in Maharashtra. Sirus Libeiro is a translator based in Mumbai. The Seekers is his first full length translation in print. He has a background in Economics and Urban Studies.

In this Guftgu episode, Manoj Bajpayee speaks with unusual honesty about cinema, craft, and the kind of inner life that keeps an actor growing. He reflects on how the pandemic changed theatres, streaming, and the way people now live with stories, fear, and habit. He believes cinema will return, but not in the old way, and makes a strong case for theatres and OTT existing side by side.The conversation then moves into acting in a way listeners rarely get to hear. Manoj breaks down his preparation for Aligarh, from Marathi literature and music choices to gait, backstory, and the tiny behavioral details that make a performance feel lived rather than performed. He also speaks about Barry John, realism, simple living, and why craft matters more than image.

Actor and theatre artist Girija Oak Godbole (Taare Zameen Par, Jawan, Vaccine War, Quarter) joins Abhay Dandekar for an in‑depth podcast interview about acting, Marathi theatre, motherhood, and Indian cinema. She talks about staying authentic in an industry obsessed with virality (yes, the blue sari!), why she rejects the “switch on–switch off” myth of acting, and how live theatre keeps her grounded and connected to audiences.They explore the joy and pain of working across Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati, the toxicity of language chauvinism, and why she believes translators always lose “a little something” in adaptation. Girija opens up about growing up as the daughter of an artist, choosing a full life over a never-ending race of exams and roles, and why she wants her biggest “success” to be the freedom to stop and smell the flowers.As a mother, she reflects on the surreal love she feels for her son, how parenting cracked open new emotional depths in her acting. She also shares her big dream: producing world‑class Indian live musicals so that people from around the world come here to watch them, not just to Broadway or the West End.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Girija Oak, nostalgia, and connecting art to real life03:45 – The myth of “switch on–off” acting & the magic of live theatre10:30 – Language, Gujarati–Marathi backlash, and the beauty (and politics) of words17:15 – Sponsor Break - Travelopod17:49 – Exams, moving finish lines & redefining success beyond the hustle26:55 – Playing nurses, systems, and building empathy through roles31:20 – Aging gracefully on screen, relevance, and bridging “massy” and “meaningful” cinema38:20 – Producing dreams: why India deserves iconic live musicals43:50 – Parenting, unconditional love, and Rasik Maibap humility toward audiencesSpecial shout outs this week to everyone at Dhanashree Foods and Boonlife for their wonderfully healthy and delicious foods and snacks, and to anyone out there trying their best to learn and speak Marathi - there is an online conversational Marathi language training class through Bruhan Maharasthra Mandal. https://dhanashreefoods.com/https://www.boonlife.in/https://bmmonline.org/languages/TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.

Sabar Bonda, the Marathi film that won a prestigious honour at Sundance last year, is either a poetic exploration of the road not taken or a pretentious try-hard desperate to feel important.We discuss the film's unconventional dramatic choices, the effects of its stillness, and the lacklustre quality of the central performances. We also debate its performative nature and wonder how it turned out to be so divisive.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

Sthal, the Marathi-language feature from debutante director Jayant Digambar Somalkar, is one of the best films of 2025.It's a deftly written, confidently shot, and expertly performed psychological drama about the commodification of women.We discuss the anger at the film's core, its bleak view of Indian society, and the catharsis it provides with an instant-classic climax.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

In this interview we discuss The Unraveling Heart: Women's Oral Poetics and Literary Vernacularization in Marathi (Columbia UP, 2025). Women's songs of the grind mill are among the oldest oral traditions in South Asia. They have been sung to accompany a daily household labor, making flour using a stone hand mill, for many centuries. Even today, grind mill songs are still well known in Maharashtra, testifying to the endurance of a remarkable genre. Yet these songs have long been understood through sociological or anthropological lenses, treated as entirely separate from literary culture. Learn more about your ad choices.
