Miss Conduct is a true-crime podcast about Indian women that committed some heinous (and sometimes, hilarious) crimes.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">Your hosts are RAGAVI RAMESH (a lawyer with 2 cats) and NISHA CHANDRASEKARAN (a PR professional who is allergic to cats).</span></p>We talk about criminal cases, unethical activities, and even morally dubious behaviour – all with women at the forefront. </p>Follow us on Instagram - <a href="https://instagram.com/missconductpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@missconductpod </a></p><span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">When we think of criminals in India, we have the big names – Charles Sobharaj, Dawood Ibrahim, Nirav Modi, Veerappan, Raman Raghav… the list goes on.</span><br></p>But what about Cyanide Mallika, who killed many women for money? Indrani Mukerjea, who may have killed her own daughter for financial gain? Madhuri Gupta, who sold her country for love? Haseena Parkar, the don of Mumbai? Or Shabnam, who killed her entire family for a man (that she promptly threw under the bus)? </p>I guess it’s hard for us to believe that women can be criminals. But we want to make you comfortable with the notion that female criminals exist – that they have motives, they have intent, and that they can be bad people. </p>Join our mission to uncover famous and interesting Indian female criminals. We investigate 13 women every season and ask ourselves – why did they end up on the wrong side of the law? We don’t have easy explanations for their actions. But we can promise that it will be a wild ride.<br><br>Hosts:&nbsp;<br></p><span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">Ragavi is an Indian lawyer and privacy officer. She loves reading about criminals and getting personally outraged by their actions. She loves skincare, pictures of small animals in baskets, and home organisation TikToks. Ragavi has two ginger cats. You can hear them screaming in the background of every single episode.<br></span><br></p><span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">Nisha is an Indian PR professional. She investigates the media’s perception of the women featured on the podcast. She also gets particularly mad when their motives are boiled down to “a crime of passion”. Nisha loves her ukulele and harmonies, and would happily sell a kidney to hang out with Tom Hiddleston for one day. She is the godmother to Ragavi’s cats. On an unrelated note, Nisha is allergic to cats.</span>&nbsp;</p>
In Part 2 of our deep-dive on Chanda Kochhar, we take you through the allegations of misuse of power and charges of bank fraud. Chanda, who led ICICI Bank to its highest peak, found herself entangled in investigations by just about every enforcement agency in India, and accused of using her position to issue massive loans to her family and friends. Her husband and associates, who were caught in this mess as well, are alleged to have enriched themselves through Chanda. Our season finale covers the 2018 whistleblower complaint, the subsequent arrests and bail orders, and of course, the numerous, ever-changing chargesheets that have been filed so far.

The Chola dynasty of centuries-old saw the rise of popular and determined kings that consolidated lands in southern and eastern India, the Indian Ocean, and even as far as south-east Asia. Their influence was unparalleled at the time, with King Rajaraja Chola I setting up a political, social, cultural, and economic landscape that took the empire through almost a dozen centuries.
But before Rajaraja Chola, there was an internal war for power and control -- and two of its central characters may have been -- Nandini, a mysterious woman that made it to the top of the Chola food chain, and Kundavai, who was the sister of Rajaraja Chola. History, legend, myth, and fiction make the stories around Nandini and Kundavai a bit blurry -- who were they and how did they rise to power? Did they even hold real power, during a time when being born male was paramount to all else? And more importantly… did they even exist?
We bring on board guest Anirudh Kanisetti to help us navigate through the murky waters of Chola history. Anirudh is an Indian historian, author of 'Lords of the Deccan: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas', and host of 'Echoes of India: A History Podcast', right here on IVM Podcasts network.

Narmada Akka was one of the senior-most female cadres of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), not to be confused with the communist parties in other states that are currently politically active.
Narmada was one of the public faces of the banned Maoist Communist party, which is marked by the Ministry of Home Affairs as an insurgent group.
She was one of the central members of the party, and she was considered to be responsible for framing policies and guidelines for all the female members of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (or PLGA).
Her leadership saw some of the most deadly attacks in the Naxal territories of Eastern and Central India, with hundreds of armed forces personnel, police, and innocent civilians dying in violent clashes.

This episode takes you through uncharted waters! We talk about Anne Bonny -- one of the most ruthless female pirates that ever sailed the English seas.
Anne Bonny grew up in a respectable household, with a father who despised rule breakers. But Anne did not believe that blood was thicker than water, for she decided to run away with Calico Jack, a deadly pirate that terrorised the Bahamas in the early 1700s. The pair made waves as a power couple, looting merchant and navy ships all along the Caribbean with their massive crew. The world was their oyster!
That is… till they got caught by the British Navy and were put on trial. Anne Bonny, who had taken to pirating like a duck to water, would suddenly be stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Would she cry an ocean and beg forgiveness? Or would she sink along with the rest of her crew? Find out in this surprise episode, where Nisha just about manages to keep her head above water, as Ragavi takes her through the story of this vicious pirate.

Surprise! On multiple levels -- not only is the subject of this episode NOT a human person but Ragavi and Nisha will hear about it all for the first time from our guest of honour, Mr. Chandrasekaran, Nisha's dad!
Bird Uncle Chandru, as he is fondly called, is an avid amateur ornithologist, who will tell us all about a female criminal bird - the Jacana.
The jacanas are a group of tropical birds in the family Jacanidae and are noted for their slender, sleek bodies, often appearing as if they walk on water. Aside from entertaining a large harem of male lovers, female jacanas defend their breeding territories… to death. The females lay eggs and proceed to the next mate, while the males take on all parenting duties.
And what do the females do between getting laid and laying eggs? They stomp around in other jacana nests, destroy their eggs, and -- this is the worst bit -- mate with the male in that nest! Sowing her wild oats, or just natural selection? Yes.

People die all the time, right? Death is inevitable, as our wise elders say. So when thousands of young, healthy men randomly drop dead, no one should be surprised… right?
Well… unless a professional poisoner lived in your town.
Between 1600 to 1900s in Europe, a bunch of women came to be known as professional poisoners. These women were skilled in modern chemistry and decided to use their skills in a different way -- to help women stuck in abusive marriages.
If you were a woman in Renaissance France, you could walk up to the house of La Voison, the local "witch" who would gladly hand you a giant bottle of arsenic to murder your husband.
If you were a woman in mid-1600s Italy, the mother-daughter duo of La Tofania and Guilia Tofana would supply with a potent blend of poisons to make sure your darling spouse slowly withered away -- slow enough that you could still get his inheritance.
And if you were lucky enough to live in Serbia in the early 1900s, Baba Anujka would have you covered. Although, please remember, modern autopsy methods did exist during this time, so you were likely to get caught quite easily.
This episode is intended to be an informative listen, and also a cautionary tale -- of criminal women supporting their fellow sisters, in times of dire need.
