Show Notes
King Dushyanta proposes in a forest, leaves a ring as a promise, and forgets everything — thanks to a curse Shakuntala never heard about. She walks into his court, with their son and the truth, and the room laughs. Their son Bharat grows up to become a landmark figure in Indian mythology, giving India it’s name.
