“I’m generally very skeptical of histories of ancient India because of how many agendas there are about the subcontinent’s past, left, right or centre. This podcast has so far been an absolute destroyer of my skepticism.
Kit Patrick’s generous and respectful inclusion of original sources means we’re actually hearing the voices of Ancient Indians in a way we don’t usually. His heavy accent sometimes makes it hard for me to understand what the Sanskrit word he’s speaking (e.g., for the longest time I heard ‘Maukhari’ as ‘Malkari’), but nobody is perfect and this is as close to perfect as anyone’s gotten.
And I love the music as much as I love the content!”
