In this episode, host Karthik Nagarajan speaks to Mallika Ravikumar, an author and History buff. She tells us about her love for History and how schools have made it all about dates and wars which students find boring whereas the subject actually is very interesting. Mallika is also an author and her latest book is based on Football- she tells us how the book's idea came about, age frauds in sports, the struggle girls face when playing the sport professionally; and also how Botany became a way for countries to colonize.  Find Mallika on Youtube | Instagram | Books | Website Listen to this conversation and don't forget to rate us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
