Event Description

On The Trailblazers of the Travancore Plantations: The story of the transformation of the hills of Central Travancore from impenetrable jungle to a bustling plantation district and then to a hub of education and a tourist destination within about 100 years is definitely worth telling. It is replete with accounts of ingenuity, skill and sheer grit. Strangely enough, little has been written about this area.

Sunitha Srinivasan: the author grew up in Central Travancore and personally knew most of the people she has written about. The book she has written provides delightful sketches of each of them from a perspective of pure innocence and delight. It also serves as a well-researched historical narrative Sunitha Srinivasan began writing when she was eight years old. She has always been interested in history, and previously chronicled the history of the Nilgiris. Her articles have been published in The Indian Express, The Hindu and the Illustrated Weekly of India. Trailblazers of the Travancore Plantations is her first book. She will read a small passage from the book and engage in a discussion on it.

Hubert Reillard: Hubert Reillard is a passionate photographer and loves old photographs. Every picture used in the Trailblazers of the Travancore plantations has been restored by him. He will talk to us about how he went about how he restores old photographs.
