Episode 2 features the interesting Dr Vinita Damodaran, where we discuss the mysterious botanist Janaki Ammal. Why is she mysterious? Well, it's only because she was so well known in her time and then her name just vanished somewhere along the way!

She falls under an umbrella of titles, so much so that I've had to split the episode into 2 parts!

What was wrong with Hinduism in her eyes? Find out!
