1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The Story of Bharati with Michael Wood This is the first in a series of episodes where world-renowned filmmaker Michael Wood ("The Story of India") and Mira discuss C. Subramania Bharati. This episode covers the story behind the new book of Bharati's English writings, The Coming Age, reviews Bharati's life and times, and considers the place of his writing in a "decolonized curriculum". Episode 2 features a composition&nbsp; by violinist A. Kanyakumari entitled "Melting Aura" and played by her Carnatic String Ensemble. She writes: "This piece as the name suggests melts the listener's mood with its beautiful structure and scintillating Raga – the Charukesi. Though the piece is Indian Classical in its tone, the arrangement gives it another dimension without compromising the authenticity of the respective genres."&nbsp; Executive Producer &amp; Host: Mira T.
