A new series looks into the often-forgotten history of India and identity.
The 'Global Indian Podcast' also aims to raise uncomfortable questions that challenge perceptions of religious history, perceived sense of national identity through skin colour and other physical attributes.
Podcast episodes are hosted by Rajan Nazran, Chief Explorer of Global Indian Series who has spent the past 15 years travelling across over 58 countries to build a living encyclopaedia of the human experience.
In the new series, Rajan will shares topics as broad as the lost tribes of the Roma community, and the movements that brought modern day faith to India.
In the first episode of the series, Rajan is joined by Alex Beeching, Head of Content for Global Indian Series, for a discussion on the linguistic, ethnic, cultural, and religious ties that bind Iran to India.
Rajan Nazran said, “I’m thrilled to be releasing this new series as part of the Global Indian Podcast. It will be a unique series that beautifully engages and asks pertinent questions around the ideas of nationalism, identity, and politics which will bring new meaning to our own definitions of national borders.
“Ever since I became fascinated with the concept of identity, I’ve been travelling the globe to discover the realities of the human experience, and this new series will be an extension of everything I learnt during my travels. I am delighted that many renowned global figures from Heads of state through to celebrities have lent their voices to support to this series”
