About this listen

Oly Bennet explores how Silambam, a 2,000-year-old Tamil martial art nearly erased by colonialism, was preserved by Malaysian diaspora communities who codified its techniques in 1936. This episode examines cultural transmission, formalization efforts, and modern revival of bamboo staff combat.
