Food and Faith: 1 - Mythology and Mythbusting

A while ago, I had the opportunity to have a freewheeling 3-hour chat with Devdutt Pattanaik where we discussed the intersection of food, science and faith in the Indian context. With close to a million follwers across different social media platforms, I have, willingly or unwillingly, earned a reputation of being a "mythbuster". I am regularly told that I am anti-national and that I have no appreciation or respect for the traditional faiths of this country. I am also seen as someone who is against Ayurveda. Somehow social media tends to create these hard binaries and force fit people into echo chambers. For sure, I am against the application of obsolete ideas if they are not experimentally/scientifically valid in a modern context - that applies to ayurveda, unani, Siddha or Homoeopathy. But at the same time, I am absolutely onboard with this idea that people cannot dismiss a holistic system of wellness that has helped them survive for centuries. And I found that the ideas of Devdutt Pattanaik provide a sensible framework for being scientific while still being able to appreciate the abstract symbolic nature of mythology, and be open to both appreciating it and criticising some of its worst harms (like casteist bias and misogyny) Food and Faith and inextricably connected in India. There is no religious ritual without food. Food habits are central to everyone's identity. Part 1: explores the simple question: Why do we use the word "myth" to describe things that are factually untrue? Devdutt Pattanaik's books: https://www.amazon.in/Books-Devdutt-P...
