Скачать или смотреть Siddi Medicinal Practice - A Conversation with Chotiyara Ujma Behn

This conversation with Chotiyara Ujma Behn, a Siddi medical practitioner from Mangrole, Gujarat, centers on the different traditional medicinal practices of the Siddis (Afro-Indians) which are not widely known. During the conversations, Ujma Behn (as she prefers to be called) highlights the overlaps between Ayurveda and Siddi practices. She aspires to share the knowledge she inherited from her mother and grandmother with her community members and wishes to commercialize it. More details about the types and methods of the practices will be found in the documentary. The documentary is a part of a project partially funded by the Dakshin Foundation, Bangalore. The conversations took place in June 2024. The project members are Chotiyara Ujma Behn, Farooq Murima Siddi, Niharika Sinha, and Sayan Dey. Madhumita Das has done the edits and compilation.
