This episode dives into the untold stories of the women behind Gandhi’s Salt March a 240-mile act of defiance against British rule that changed the course of history.From Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, who called out Gandhi himself, to the fearless women who organized protests, led movements, and took on the empire with pure resilience, we discuss the lasting impact they left on history. Join us as we celebrate Women’s History Month by uncovering the fearless women who defied an empire, reshaped history, and proved that rebellion isn’t just for the history books—it’s a legacy that continues today.Side note: We only realized after recording that Women’s History isn’t just a day it’s a whole month, our mistake! We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible.

Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line. This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.(You may notice a change in the episode countdown.
