The Empire, Epic Mahabharata, and Love after Love

Jo Kukathas and Eddin Khoo return to join Kam Raslan on another exciting episode of A Bit of Culture. Kam ponders whether our relationship with our past colonial masters has shifted to a more negative territory, in light of Shashi Tharoor’s latest book, “Inglorious Empire: What the British did to India.” Jo wants us to start exploring the epic “Mahabharata”, and its nuances, while Eddin recalls the impact the late Derek Walcott had on the world of literature.
