Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West.

The bodies of seventeen individuals, eleven of them children (the youngest two years of age) who were, at some point in the Middle Ages (dating 1150-1300), thrown down a well in the East Anglian town of Norwich.

However, a find this horrifying and this fascinating was bound to assert its own narrative and that happened in 2011 when   History   Cold Case , a British television series looked into the affair and claimed that the bodies were victims of a pogrom. [1]  Here is their very powerful version: imagine parents being hurled down the well and being followed by their screaming children; imagine how long it would have taken to die… But, through all this there are serious doubts about the ‘official’ story. The bodies were discovered in 2004 during an excavation o...

The Boy Who ate 150 gummy vitamins for breakfast  A  14-year-old  boy ate  150 gummy vitamins for breakfast , thinking they were gummy candies. He and his mother were immigrants, and he didn’t know the difference between gummy vitamins and actual candy. Up until this point, he ate  30  to  40  gummy vitamins every day, thinking they were candy. As time went on, his belly swelled up. His mother just assumed that he was eating too much. Then one day, he ate  150 gummy vitamins . One hour later, he can't stop urinating and complains to his mother that he has terrible stomach pain. He trips and falls, and breaks his arm. Then his mother calls 911 and an ambulance takes them to the hospital. As he’s sitting in the waiting room, he begins to lose consciousness. He then slips into a coma. A physical examination showed that there was fluid building up in his stomach, causing hypercalcemia, a high calcium presence in the blood. Which is strange becaus...
