Ye Banks an’ Braes o’ Bonnie Doon: Celebrating Burns Night across the world

It's Burns Night. Often with a dram in hand, and a plate piled high with haggis, neeps and tatties, the works of the famous Scottish bard Robert Burns have been celebrated and commemorated for the last 222 years.

But have you ever heard Burns in Bengali or Hindi? 

In this episode, we have a special performance from Savita Purran and Herman Rodrigues of "Ye Banks an' Braes o' Bonnie Doon", written by Burns in 1791, sung in English, Bengali and Hindi. 

Anne Gallacher, director of Luminate, talks with Savita, Herman and Rohini Sharma Joshi about the influence of Burns across the world and some particular links with India.
