Intriguing and Untold Stories from the Panchatantra

About Intriguing and Untold Stories from the Panchatantra

The Panchatantra is immensely popular as a children's book of virtues. However, surprisingly, these stories were actually written to teach political strategy, including the use of deception and manipulation…all for a good cause, of course! Some of these stories, meant for a mature audience, haven't made it to popular circuits. What are these stories and why have they gone unheard? Discover these intriguing, untold stories and the true beauty of Panchatantra, with hosts Punam Medh and Svani Parekh, as they narrate a story and unpack its many layers with a guest speaker in each episode.
