Manx Radio's weekly programme looking at Manx life from a different angle, exploring the historical, social, linguistic and academic issues. Last time we heard Sravanti Mazumdar talking about Rabindranath Tagore. Her project is to perform Tagore's work in Bengali and in the Manx language, working with Manx musicians and singers. We hear more from Sravanti about herself , and how Tagore was influenced by the work of Robert Burns, which gives us an opportunity to hear his Bengali versions of two of Burns's most famous poems, and translations of them into Manx - and about a Manx connection with one of the tunes.
