The Legacy of Hadhrami Sayyids in India | Southern Insights Podcast

In this episode of Southern Insights, we trace the remarkable journey of the Hadhrami Sayyids — descendants of the Prophet Muhammad — from the valleys of Hadhramaut (modern-day Yemen) to the shores of India. Through centuries of migration, scholarship, and spiritual leadership, these figures left an indelible mark on South Asia's religious, cultural, and political landscape.

We explore their settlements in Delhi, Gujarat, the Deccan, Hyderabad, and Malabar, uncovering forgotten legacies and living traditions. From building institutions and preserving Arabic scholarship, to shaping military and judicial systems — the Hadhrami Sayyids acted not as conquerors, but as cultural mediators.

The episode sheds light on:

The origins and motivations behind Hadhrami migration
The integration of Sayyids into Mughal Delhi
The Chaush military communities in Hyderabad
The Thangals of Kerala and their Sufi lineages
Resistance against British colonialism by Sayyid Fadl
A non-violent model of transregional influence and adaptation

🎧 Whether you're a student of history, a lover of Islamic heritage, or someone curious about the Global South’s intellectual webs, this story offers a nuanced look at premodern migration that shaped South Asia.

"Sarajevo Rose" is a song influenced by my experiences as British Soldier during the Bosnia conflict. This is a work in progress track so will be updated.

Tapped into some lower-tempo goodness this last Sublime Saturday and came up with some Space Music. It was hard to believe what a joy the sun was to behold. The weather this week was generous, and this Saturday was the cherry on top. Thank you to everyone who came by to celebrate!

This was one of my few planned mixes, but for good reason--this week's theme was "Invasive Brits." There were a couple of obvious candidates like Goldfrapp, Roisin Murphy, Psychemagik, Ewan Pearson, and David Holmes, but it took some work, because I wanted to have the progression of it mixed in complementary keys. It was worth the work, and it's a little more lively than my previous attempts to stick with the theme of the week.

If you've been enjoying Cardboard Psychic's accompanying sets, you'll need to start attending more! He didn't record his set this week, so it's been lost to all but those who attended. Sorry!

If you enjoy it, feel free to comment, like, and share!

Also, if you like any of the tracks, I encourage you to buy them in lossless format and find a dark place to listen to it with a good sound system or a nice pair of headphones. These artists are giving us their soul so we can make it another day with that fleeting sense of inspiration; so be sure to buy their merch if you dig them and check out their shows/ events if you can!

Back on the scene after a 30 year hiatus that provided the wild experiences and inspiration that fuels a blend of blues, rock and a little bit of jazz: Grinding guitar riffs, raw melodic solos and a growling vocal style that make up Wylde Coyote's larger than life sound.

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.
