Medha Suktam Ep. 1 | Prof. P. K. Ghanekar on Making History Speak to YOU

Meet Prof. P. K. Ghanekar! He's a botanist by trade but the love for history runs through his veins. In this episode he tells us many interesting stories from his 75 years of life which he lived with utmost curiosity towards the things around him. Our conversation went on for too long and therefore I decided to split it into two parts. I will attach the link for Part 2 in the video description once it's done.
