Great attempt sir. I'm so proud to be the part of Basel Evangelical Mission School started by Gundert.

Thank you for this beautiful documentary on Dr Gundert. His contributions to the Malayalam language are indeed amazing. I wanted to know who the narrator is; her pronunciation of most Malayalam words including the second 'la' in 'Malayalam' is perfect. Then I saw in the credits that it is the noted television news anchor, Rini Simon Khanna. Thank you also for not voicing over the interviews in Malayalam and letting the viewers hear the language 😊
