Kanniyakumari

Captain Kidd had but very little money left and nearly all his provisions were consumed.

As hastily as possible he replenished his water casks and taking in a few more stores weighed anchor and voyaged 1300 miles further east to Malabar as the whole western coast of Hindustan was then called from Cape Comorin to Bombay.

He came within sight of these shores in June four months after his arrival at Madagascar.

For some time he cruised up and down this coast unavailingly.

Another authoritative book on the Shakti worship is the Devi Bhagavatam, but Chandi is the one that is, seems to be more popular than even Devi Bhagavatam.

Um, Devi worship, especially in the Indian subcontinent, is prevalent in north, south, east, west, right from Kanyakumari in the southern tip, famous for its temple of the Divine Mother as Kanyakumari, to Kashmir, where there is a Kheer Bhavani temple, from Rajasthan, where there is a Amba temple, to Kolkata, which is temple of Kalighat.

In fact, there is hardly any big city and town in India which does not have a temple dedicated to the Devi.

The great heroes of the past worshiped the Divine Mother.

It's actually not just Tambrams who relocated in large numbers to Bombay during that period.

Lots of people from Tamil Nadu, especially southern Tamil Nadu, Kanyakumari, Nagarkot, they moved to Bombay too in search of better opportunities.

And a lot of them lived in Dharavi, which is not very far from Matunga, and Sain Koliwada, which is also not very far from Matunga.

Interestingly, two of the three gangsters, the most feared gangsters of Bombay of that period were Karim Lala, Haji Mastan and Varadaraj Mudaliar.

And the anger which was limited to Jantar Mantar, that spread across India.

That spread across from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

And the government was afraid if they don't sack the education minister, then I don't, uh...

They might have thought that things would really get bad for them in going, uh, into the elections.

Thus are the people moved.

The spirit generated in Bengal has spread in the north to the Punjab, and in the south to Cape Comorin.

Reader, do you suggest any other striking result? Editor, the partition has not only made a rift in the English ship, but it has made it in ours also.

Great events always produce great results.

There was a time when people used to ask, which jail are you in today? I said, we are convicts.

Are you in Coimbatore Jail? Are you in Chennai Jail? Are you in Prudhal? Are you in Kanyakumari? Are you in Tiruvalli Jail? That was because me and Krishna Bhai, who was a part of the thing.

I think the whole, the credit goes to Krishna Bhai, who has been a great pillar of strength when he had to manoeuvre all these things.

And to Amudha, Because as a training part of it, she has traveled with me length and breadth of the country.

Hmm

... because we have figs, for example, from the, uh, plains of Himalayas to Kanyakumari.

Hmm.

Nowhere else you can grow them.
