The study of History… from classes in school that left me yawning as a child, to an experience as an adult that leaves me curious with wide-eyed fascination. The more I observe the world around me - asking questions or pointing fingers based on identity - the more I feel we need to learn, at a young age, about our collective journey.I talk to Museologist, Art Historian and Curator Deepthi Sashidharan about her continuous work in discovering the roots of our identities, traditions and culture, and her efforts in preserving the stories of our past for future generations. Listen to our conversation about how the teaching of History in schools, made immersive and relatable, can heal us better as a society and bring us together as a community.Happy Listening!Moda Goa MueseumRezwan Razack's Museum of Indian Paper MoneySalarjung MuseumCentre for the Study of Culture and SocietyBOOKSDeepthi Sasidharan - Treasures of the DeccanIra Mukhoty -Heroines: Powerful Indian Women of Myth and HistoryDaughters of the SunWilliam Darlymple - City of DjinnsAlex von Tunzelmann - Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an EmpireManu Pillai - False AlliesPODCASTSExpert Hour with Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini FoundationMuseum of Lost ObjectsA History of the World in 100 ObjectsEdTalk with Anuj!: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook
