In this episode, we tell the story of the Rani of the Jhansi Regiment, the first all-female combat unit in modern Indian history, formed in Singapore during World War II and led by Dr Lakshmi Sahgal, known as Captain Lakshmi.Most of its members were teenage Tamil girls from plantation communities in Malaya and Burma, many with little formal education, who left estate life to train as soldiers in the Indian National Army. We trace how they were recruited, trained, deployed to the Burma front, and forced into retreat as the war turned against Japan and the INA.Although the regiment never fought a major battle, its legacy reshaped ideas about women's roles in anti-colonial struggle and military service. Drawing on historical research and oral histories, this episode explores how nationalism, class, gender, and war collided in Southeast Asia, and how ordinary young women briefly became part of a global conflict and a revolutionary movement.Hosted by Agas Ramirez.Full script and bonus episodes available on Patreon.All links available here.Audio ClipsWildFilmsIndia - Laxmi Sehgal of the INA on The Forgotten Army ExpeditionDoordarshan National - Speech of Netaji Subhas Chandra BoseInterkast - शुभ सुख चैन की/Subh Sukh Chain Ki - With Auspicious Happiness | Anthem of Free IndiaYouTube Free Audio ClipsTheme Music - Goddess of War - Unicorn HeadsJourney Home - Chris Haugen

In this episode, we listen to an attempt at dissuading a person from carrying out their intention, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 161, penned by Madurai Pullankannanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands’ landscape, the verse etches the domain’s elements and the lady’s emotions. வினைவயிற் பிரிதல் யாவது? ”வணர் சுரிவடியாப் பித்தை, வன்கண் ஆடவர்அடி அமை பகழி ஆர வாங்கி;வம்பலர்ச் செகுத்த அஞ்சுவரு கவலை,படுமுடை நசைஇய வாழ்க்கைச் செஞ் செவிஎருவைச் சேவல் ஈண்டுகிளை பயிரும்வெருவரு கானம் நீந்தி, பொருள் புரிந்துஇறப்ப எண்ணினர்” என்பது சிறப்பக்கேட்டனள்கொல்லோ தானே? தோள் தாழ்புசுரும்பு உண ஒலிவரும் இரும் பல் கூந்தல்,அம் மா மேனி, ஆய் இழை குறுமகள்சுணங்கு சூழ் ஆகத்து அணங்கு என உருத்தநல் வரல் இள முலை நனையபல் இதழ் உண்கண் பரந்தன பனிஏ. In this quick trip to the drylands, we glance at a striking bird and hear the confidante say these words to the man, at a time when he intends to part with the lady and leave on a mission to earn wealth: “How can you part away on your mission? Did she already hear about your intention to leave, desiring wealth, and traverse that formidable jungle, where harsh-eyed men with thick, curly and untameable hair, aiming their sharp-edged arrows, kill wayfarers, who happen upon those fear-evoking paths, and where having a life of desiring reeking flesh, the male of the red-eared vulture beckons its close kin with a resounding call? I say this because that young maiden, wearing well-etched ornaments, having a beautiful, dark complexion, and thick, black tresses, descending down her shoulders, around which bees buzz around, was standing there, drenching her fine and upraised young bosoms, filled with pallor spots, which torment like a divine spirit, with tears that were brimming over from her many petaled, kohl-streaked eyes!” Time to brave the fear-evoking paths through the scrub jungle! The confidante starts with a pointed question to the man, asking how he thinks he can leave on his mission. Then she goes on to the describe the place he intends to traverse so as to fulfil his mission, namely the formidable drylands path, where harsh-eyed robbers rove with their bows and arrows and have no qualms about ending the lives of wayfarers, and to feast on their flesh, the red-headed vulture beckons its kin. After this description, the confidante asks the man if the lady has already come to know that the man would part away. This is because at the moment when the confidante had gone to inform the lady about the man’s intention and secure her permission, even before she said anything, the lady was standing there, crestfallen, soaking her fine bosoms with tears, brimming over from her flower-like eyes, the confidante concludes. ‘So dangerous is your path and she’s shedding tears already. Do you really have to leave?’, the confidante means to ask the man and prevent him from pursuing his intention of parting away. In the scene of the red-headed vulture feeding on the flesh of the corpse, left behind by highway robbers, the confidante places a metaphor for how the townsfolk would feed on the lady’s health and beauty with their rumours, after the man has felled her with the arrow of his parting! Stepping aside from this frequent theme of the lady’s helplessness at the man’s parting, let’s zoom on to that bird mentioned vividly here. The Tamil description of this bird translates as ‘red-eared vulture’, though the contemporary common name is the ‘red-headed vulture’ or the ‘Pondicherry vulture’. This bird does have distant ear-like flaps on the sides of its head and seemingly the Tamils have focused on this aspect to give the bird its name. The bird apparently does not feed in a large group and just calls one other, possibly its mate, in the carrion sharing. Perhaps that’s what the verse means when it says ‘close kith and kin’. Today, I also learnt how this bird, which seems to have impressed our age-old ancestors, is much threatened by contemporary humans. It has moved into the ‘Endangered category’ mainly because of the use of a drug called ‘diclofenac’, used by vets to treat livestock. One species’ pill is another’s poison! Some remedial steps being taken are to feed diclofenac-free meat to this essential scavenger of the skies. Yet again, truly fascinating how a few lines of ancient poetry about inner life and relationships has led us to reflect on biology, ecology and opened our eyes to the world around!

“There's nothing dead about the Indian classics. It's not a revival of anything. It's not a museum piece. I think our classical tradition is alive through the stories our parents and grandparents told us…[and through popular culture]…..but with few exceptions, we don't know about the classics from our neighboring state, right? I always hope that the girl in Chandigarh can read a Mangal Kavya from Bengal, a boy in Patna can read a Telugu classic. Someone sitting in your old hometown, Pune can read Bulleh Shah.”

In this episode, we perceive an attempt at persuading another, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 156, penned by Aavoor Moolankizhaar. The verse is situated amidst the lush fields of the ‘Marutham’ or ‘Farmlands landscape’ and talks about the wealth and faith in this domain. முரசுடைச் செல்வர் புரவிச் சூட்டும்மூட்டுறு கவரி தூக்கியன்ன,செழுஞ் செய் நெல்லின் சேயரிப் புனிற்றுக் கதிர்மூதா தின்றல் அஞ்சி, காவலர்பாகல் ஆய்கொடிப் பகன்றையொடு பரீஇ,காஞ்சியின் அகத்து, கரும்பு அருத்தி, யாக்கும்தீம் புனல் ஊர! திறவிதாகக்குவளை உண்கண் இவளும் யானும்கழனி ஆம்பல் முழுநெறிப் பைந் தழை,காயா ஞாயிற்றாக, தலைப்பெய,”பொய்தல் ஆடிப் பொலிக!” என வந்து,நின் நகாப் பிழைத்த தவறோ பெரும!கள்ளும் கண்ணியும் கையுறையாகநிலைக் கோட்டு வெள்ளை நால்செவிக் கிடாஅய்நிலைத்துறைக் கடவுட்கு உளப்பட ஓச்சி,தணி மருங்கு அறியாள், யாய் அழ,மணி மருள் மேனி பொன் நிறம் கொளலே? This is one of those rare songs where though the landscape is defined in one way, the theme tends in a totally different direction. Here, we listen to the confidante say these words to the man, when she brings over the lady for a tryst with him: “Appearing akin to the lifted yak-fur fans, fastened to heads of horses, belonging to wealthy lords with victorious drums, are the tender, red-streaked stalks of paddy in the fertile fields. Fearing that an old bull would feed on and ruin these stalks, guards pluck beautiful vines of bitter gourd along with the rattlepod, and using that, tie the bull to the trunk of a portia tree, and feed it sugarcane stems in your town, filled with sweet streams, O lord! When I had come with her, who has exquisite kohl-streaked eyes, akin to lush blue lilies, adorned in attires of green leaves and flawless flowers of field lilies, when the sun was not scorching, so that we could play in the pond and delight, we made the mistake of smiling at you, O lord! Even after offering toddy and garlands, along with a white male goat with hanging ears and sturdy horns as sacrifice, to the god who guards the river shore, with the right chants from the heart, seeing no relief whatever, her mother cries, as her sapphire-hued skin continues to be covered in a golden hue!” Let’s take a stroll on the banks of the town’s fields and river shore and learn more! The confidante starts by describing the man’s fertile farm town, and to do that, she compares the lush paddy crop to the uplifted yak-fur fans tied to the horses of the wealthy. These yak-fur fans were quite the rage in the ancient world, known by the Tamil term ‘Saamaram’, and it was also used as a manual fan in the royal courts. Returning, we see how the paddy stalks look lush and tender, and no doubt, wanting to protect their crop, fearing that the old cow in their farm would run amok and ruin the stalks, the guards tie up the animal using cords of bitter gourd and rattlepod and distract it with sugarcane stalks. After that description of the man’s rich riverine town, the confidante turns to the past and declares the lady and herself had made the mistake of smiling at the man, when they had come to bathe in the pond, at a time when the sun was not raging yet. The confidante then ends with the explanation for this cryptic statement saying that the lady’s mother had done offerings to the river god with toddy, garlands and even a strong ram, but there seemed to be no respite to the golden-hued pallor spreading on the shining dark skin of the lady. While the lady was happy when the man came around, she was pining for him whenever he left, leading to the attack of pallor and the consequence of mother’s worry, implies the confidante. This statement about offering to a river god would remind us of the ‘Veriyattam’ scenes in the Kurinji landscape, where a girl’s problems were attributed to ‘God Murugu’ and he is appeased with offerings and prayer. In this landscape, a river God takes the role of ‘Murugu’. As in those situations we have seen many a time, God is of no help, when the cure is in the hands of the man. The confidante understands this well and by subtly revealing the situation at hand, she nudges the man to let go of the temporary trysting and choose the path of a permanent union with the lady. In that metaphor of tying the old cow and preventing it from feeding on the tender paddy stalks, the confidante places a metaphor for her hope that the man would bind the mouths of the slanderous townsfolk and offer them the sweet sugarcane of a happy wedding with the lady. Lands may change, Gods may change, yet the confidante remains the steadfast friend who knows what’s what and what needs to be done for the happiness of all concerned! If you ask me, a friend like that is the true God in one’s life!

In this episode, we perceive beauty from the lens of a man in love, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 152, penned by Paranar. The verse is situated amidst the orchards and peaks of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain landscape’ and presents a glimpse of history through its mention of prominent people and places. நெஞ்சு நடுங்கு அரும் படர் தீர வந்து,குன்றுழை நண்ணிய சீறூர் ஆங்கண்செலீஇய பெயர்வோள் வணர் சுரி ஐம்பால்நுண் கோல் அகவுநர்ப் புரந்த பேர் இசை,சினம் கெழு தானை, தித்தன் வெளியன்,இரங்குநீர்ப் பரப்பின் கானல்அம் பெருந் துறை,தனம் தரு நன் கலம் சிதையத் தாக்கும்சிறு வெள் இறவின் குப்பை அன்னஉறு பகை தரூஉம் மொய்ம் மூசு பிண்டன்முனை முரண் உடையக் கடந்த வென் வேல்,இசை நல் ஈகைக் களிறு வீசு வண் மகிழ்,பாரத்துத் தலைவன், ஆர நன்னன்ஏழில் நெடு வரைப் பாழிச் சிலம்பில்களி மயிற் கலாவத்தன்ன தோளேவல் வில் இளையர் பெருமகன் நள்ளிசோலை அடுக்கத்துச் சுரும்பு உண விரிந்தகடவுட் காந்தளுள்ளும், பல உடன்இறும்பூது கஞலிய ஆய்மலர் நாறி,வல்லினும், வல்லார்ஆயினும், சென்றோர்க்குச்சால் அவிழ் நெடுங் குழி நிறைய வீசும்,மாஅல் யானை ஆஅய் கானத்துத்தலையாற்று நிலைஇய சேயுயர் பிறங்கல்வேய் அமைக் கண் இடை புரைஇ,சேய ஆயினும், நடுங்கு துயர் தருமே. In this long trip through the mountains, we travel to many different regions in ancient Tamil land, as we listen to these words said by the man, after his tryst with the lady: “After coming here to end the deep suffering that makes my heart quiver, she parts away to her little hamlet, amidst the hills. Her thick and curly tresses, worn as a five-part braid, are akin to the feathers of a dancing peacock in the slopes of Paazhi, situated amidst the picturesque mountain ranges, in the domain of Nannan, clad in sandalwood garlands, the leader of ‘Paaram', renowned for his immense charity of rendering elephants with joy on supplicants, and his victorious spear, which crossed the battlefront and won over Pindan, swarming around him, with a deep enmity, akin to small, white shrimps that attacks, destroying fine ships, bringing great wealth in the huge shores of Kaanaalam, near the roaring expanse of the seas, ruled by ‘Thithan Veliyan', possessing a huge, furious army, and having the great fame of rendering his patronage to bards holding intricate rods. As for her arms, they waft with the scent of the divine flame lily, blooming to be fed upon by bees, and the scent of many other beautiful flowers flourishing in the mountain orchards of the great lord Nalli, who wields an army of young men, skilled in archery. Indeed, those arms are akin to the slender and smooth stems between nodes of bamboos, flourishing in the forests amidst the tall mountains of 'Thalaiyaaru', ruled by Aay, possessing huge elephants, known for his copious rendering of fine cooked rice, making bowls of supplicants, who seek him, brim over, whether they possess great abilities or whether they don't. Those tresses and arms of hers, even though they be far, render a quivering suffering in me!” Time to explore ancient places and rendezvous with rulers to understand the song in the man’s heart! He starts by talking about how the lady had come to allay his yearning to be with her and had now parted away to her village in the hills. He then goes on to talk about the lady’s tresses. To put it in a nutshell, he says these thick and curly locks are very much like the feathers of a peacock in ‘Paazhi’, a mountainous region ruled by ‘Nannan’, with his capital at Paaram. Though that’s the destination, there are many outer roads that lead here. For instance, the man talks about the swarming shrimps surrounding the wealth-laden ships arriving at the harbour of ‘Kaanalam’, ruled by Thithan Veliyan. This mention of swarming shrimps is made to place in parallel the way Nannan surrounded the army of Pindan and scored a resounding victory over him. That’s the road that leads to Nannan’s slopes and the dancing peacocks, summoned in parallel to the lady’s exquisite tresses.  Next, the man’s mind turns to the lady’s slender arms and these are said to waft with the scent of flame-lilies and other beautiful flowers blooming in the mountain orchards of ‘Nalli’. Not only that, those arms are akin to the smooth spaces between the nodes of bamboos in the hills of ‘Thalaiyaaru’, ruled by ‘Aay’. Thus, five different kings have been called to the court of the man’s mind, to depict the beauty of his beloved. The man mentions the fame of each of these kings, such as Nannan’s generosity of showering elephants, Thithan’s greatness in rendering his patronage to bards, Nalli’s army of men with skilful bows, and Aay’s charity of making the bowls of his supplicants brim over with rice, regardless of their talent. He concludes by saying how those tresses and arms of the lady torment him, even when they have parted away and gone afar! It’s just a man musing on his beloved and feeling the pain of being apart from her, but this poet weaves the beauty of a nameless person with the history of the prominent and renders a crash course on connecting the disparate with creativity!
