Sowmiya Ashok in Mumbai. The DIG - Launch Tour. Keeladi and the Politics of the Past.
The Dig - An immersive journey into the world of Indian archaeology, where the ancient, the recent past, and the present collide. It is excavated, contested, and reimagined in the service of belief and identity. The narration is crisp, perfectly laced with subtle humour, and, like the finest Far Eastern cinema, allows food to drift in as a sensorial aside. A rare, rational pleasure. Five stars.
