In many parts of Kerala, oil used in temples had to be 'purified' by the touch of a Syrian Christian. In Ep 7 of SAGA with @Arpo_IN I sat down with Pallikonam Rajeev to discuss the sociocultural & political history of the Syrian Christians. Watch here https://t.co/PzAVOSfKfV

16 hour shifts as a bus conductor and *then* Sasidhara Sarma would walk or cycle to temples to perform the Theeyattu (a dying ritual dance form). Today his son and he are among the last few practising Theeyattu-Unnis left in Kerala. Full episode here: https://t.co/NlXpo52IXm

[Manu S Pillai @UnamPillai]

The Theeyattu (Dance of Fire) is a sacred ritual in Kerala. Today there are only about half dozen performers left. For Episode 5 of the SAGA series with @Arpo_IN I discuss the Theeyattu with father-son duo, Sasidhara and Sreejith Sarma. Watch here: https://t.co/NlXpo52IXm

@UnamPillai 🙏 SAGA is growing into a compelling series. Congrats, Manu

Watching this: @UnamPillai tells us more on Madhava of Sangamagrama, one of the brightest minds Kerala ever produced. The 14th C Mathematician founded the Kerala School of Mathematics & Astronomy.

An ocean of people--whole families, older folk, college kids--showed up to see Sunita Williams this evening in Kozhikode. We had to cut short our conversation because the crowd was swelling to unmanageable proportions. But what a privilege to be on stage with her.

Only in Kerala would a major newspaper devote an entire page to the passing of an eminent Indian scientist. Here is Mathrubhumi’s tribute to the life and legacy of Professor Madhav Gadgil.

Heartiest Congratulations to Capt Dr. Lovji K. N., ANO, Vimala College (Autonomous), Thrissur of 7 Kerala Girls Battalion on being awarded the prestigious DG NCC Commendation Card 2025 — the highest honour bestowed by the Director General of NCC.

[Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar @mamidala90]

In an opinion piece in The Indian Express, I deep dive into this question: Will the focus on traditional knowledge, underlined in UGC’s draft undergraduate curriculum framework for Mathematics, undermine foundational knowledge?
