This is the podcast that started with me wanting to learn more about things that interest me; crazy and important things that happened In the 20th century; things that don’t always get the attention to detail that they deserve. I dig into the story behind what happened, and offer an abridged version of the history and events that became the story.
As each series develops and I think about what to cover in the future, I have come to realize that I want to find out what can be learnt from the last 100+ years. Each event has lessons for us today, if we want to learn them.

Episode 1 of the India-Pakistan partition was a quick introduction to centuries of Indian history, but I could not ignore all the details of just the 18th century. There was so much happening! Afghan invasions, Sikh reprisal on the Mughals, south India allegiances, multiple Mughal emperors, defiance against British expansionism, and all of that probably in the same year! I know that this episode is an indulgence on my part, but I think it will prompt you to learn more about India. Episode 3 will definitely move ahead from the Mutiny of 1857, which is where the first part ended.
