In this week’s episode, we take a look at the history of the word ‘curry’. Annaig gives an update about a boating tragedy in Bangladesh. Henna then details the history of curry and the British colonisation of India. We learn that curry was developed to show the people at home in England so they could understand a simplified version of Indian culture. We discuss other lesser acknowledged effects colonialism has on cultures from around the world.
