Magil Panavarun
by Radio City India
In Marathi, the proverb "Magil panavarun pudhe" carries a negative connotation, reflecting our tendency to continue life without required change. Inspired by this reality, I've chosen "Magil Panavarun" as the title for a podcast, translating to "from past times/history." In this podcast, we'll uncover hidden or lesser-known historical facts, while also exploring interpretations beyond kingdoms, warfronts, and ceasefires. Delving into a people's history, we'll highlight the lives and actions of common individuals alongside popular historical events. Through these stories, our aim is to promote virtues such as humanity, love, multiculturalism, and camaraderie, etc in our lives.
