On this edition of MASALA CANADA I talk to archaeologist Dr Moira McCaffrey, she's the Vice-President, Research and Collections at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. She curated a remarkable exhibition for the museum – Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures – that offers visitors a chance to see historic artefacts that were secretly hidden in Kabul for decades to protect them. 
 
David Charles Manners talks about his book, In the Shadow of Crows – Two Journeys Through India, in which he writes about his journey from England to India to discover a family that had always been a secret. The journey of Bindra, a woman from northeast India who contracted leprosy and was banished from her village with her children. And how these two journeys crossed. 
 
And Qasim Virjee, the man behind the on-line music web site IndianElectronica.com has the latest news from IE, on a new stream indochill.com, and the fact that electronic music is making inroads at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas.
