Tales And Texts

Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Nisha Prakash, the host of this channel - Tales and Texts.

I love Indian and South Asian mythology, folklore and philosophy. I bring you book reviews, in-depth research and discussions centred around these topics.

I am rewriting and narrating the entire Mahabharata in my new playlist - Bite Sized Bharata - exploring the emotional toll and physical impact of the world’s most complex text on morality and accountability.

I am also collating and narrating the millions of folktales and urban legends that populate the subcontinent of India and the rest of South Asia.
