Coconuts, Cold War and Nuclear Fusion

<p>In the spring of 1943, US torpedo boat No. 109 gets shattered to pieces by a Japanese destroyer. Some of the crew members make a miraculous escape, and one of them goes on to create history. Over 8000 miles across the oceans in Gujarat India, a team of paleobotanists find 37 million year old fossil. This fossil is of an object which is often mailed across the world by tourists who visit Hawaii. But what could possibly connect these three wildly different events spread across space and time? This week, starting a new series, Fabulous Foods, we discover the fascinating story of the role this object played in shaping globaly trade and politics, influencing World Wars and the Cold War. Tune in, and discover the humble lessons that this wonderful product, which is older than Homo Sapiens, holds for us.</p> <p>Till then Check out the other episodes of "The Great Migration"</p> <p>Bhojpur, Sexuality and Migration Songs :- <a href="https://ivm.today/3LQvFQC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3LQvFQC">https://ivm.today/3LQvFQC</span></a></p> <p>Money Orders, Dehradun and Transatlantic Slave Trade :- <a href="https://ivm.today/34UHdln" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/34UHdln">https://ivm.today/34UHdln</span></a></p> <p>Chettiars, Burma and Fiery Dragons :- <a href="https://ivm.today/3JOMfyA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3JOMfyA">https://ivm.today/3JOMfyA</span></a></p> <p>Gujaratis, Uganda and The Last King of Scotland :- <a href="https://ivm.today/33Herns" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/33Herns">https://ivm.today/33Herns</span></a></p> <p>The Malayalis of Pakistan :- <a href="https://ivm.today/3Hk67YQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3Hk67YQ">https://ivm.today/3Hk67YQ</span></a></
