The Kandari Chronicles

Committed to sharing knowledge, stories and commentary about the Middle East through video essays about topics such as history, folklore, society.

The sharing is not strictly about relaying knowledge, but also about documenting and preserving elements of culture that in today's educational system might be challenged by oversight or struggling with potential gradual irrelevance.

The commentary revolves around looking at simple realities or concepts, but with a slight change of perspective; hoping that this minute change of view, will shed new light and provide fresh understandings.

A final angle is to introduce old stories but told in a modern way to grab the attention of an audience that is now challenged attention wise and expects content to be packaged in a speedier and more engaging manner.

When considering the Arab world, what is the predominant identity trait?

These choices are generalized and aren’t intended to give an exact or accurate depiction of what makes an Arab. The survey is intended to chart how a large number of people might gravitate towards one identity trait over others.

When selecting “Other”, please add what you consider to be the most powerful trait.

Thank you.

The Kandari Chronicles

One fact about the Kandari Chronicles channel is that the majority of its viewers and subscribers are male, almost a ratio of 4 to 1, male:female. I bring up this fact because my next release deals with "Misogyny" in the Muslim world. It is a very important bit of content because it impacts many around us: our mothers, our wives, our sisters, our daughters, and even our friends.

So, my request is for all my subscribers to give this video a chance, even if it doesn't necessarily tick your immediate "This interests me" box. So that it may circulate as widely as possible. Not for the goal of "more views", but for the circulation of the message, and hopefully, in the enlightening some of those who might not know better.

"HOW MISOGYNY SHAPED THE MUSLIM WORLD - One Arm Tied Behind the Back" will be released this Wednesday, the 5th of November.

Thank you all for your understanding. 🙏🏽
