20 years ago, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) promised African governments a transformation: subsidise fertiliser, promote commercial seed, mechanise production and open the door to private investment, and yields would rise, farmers would prosper, and hunger would fall. AGRA's promise has now been tested against nearly 20 years of national data — and, according to a new report from the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), it has failed on its own terms.To discuss the report, AGRA's failure, its dangerous grip on African food security, and the alternative offered by agroecology, ffinlo Costain is joined by Dr Million Belay, the Co-ordinator of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, who's based in Ethiopia, and by Michael Farrelly, a consultant to AFSA, who lives in Senegal.Read more on this subject here: https://8point9.com/africas-food-must-be-grown-by-african-farmers/

Send us a message. In this special extra episode in Season Eleven, host Andrew Martin sets out on a visit to the Society of Genealogists, but ends up making unintentional visits to three places. Along the way he meets genealogists Lori Samuelson, Debbie Bradley, and Dr. Patrice Connelly and learns that when researching your family history, it really is All About The Place!- - -This episode is recorded as part of the All About The Place event in 2026 which runs with more than 150 speakers delivery almost 200 free talks from 7th October to 16th October 2026.- - -THE INTERVIEW - LORI SAMUELSON Andrew's first unintentional stop is in Indiana, USA where he surprises professional genealogist Lori Samuelson. She then explains how she got hooked on researching, her love of technology, how her old boss talked her into setting up as a professional genealogist, and her thoughts on the direction of the family history industry, and concerns about cuts to the US archives.With a few adjustments, Andrew heads off on his way to the Society of Genealogists in London...THE LIFE STORY - GEORGE HENRY CLARKE with DEBBIE BRADLEY... however, he manages to get a bit closer - arriving in Norfolk, England instead, where as if by chance, he bumps into professional genealogist, speaker, AGRA member and Administrator of the Family History Federation - Debbie Bradley.Debbie share the life story of her elusive ancestor George Henry Clarke, whose life has been a true genealogy puzzle to trace. Despite living during the time of the modern census, his constant name changes and geographic moves has led Debbie round in circles a few times, until a witness at a wedding helps to unlock the mystery.THE BRICK WALL - JOHN CARSON and MARGARET SMITH with DR. PATRICE CONNELLYDespite tweaking settings, Andrew arrives in Brisbane, Australia where he soon finds Dr. Patrice Connelly - musicologist, genealogist and lecturer at University of Queensland.Patrice is trying to solve a brick wall around her ancestors John Carson and his wife Margaret Smith. She finds them marrying in Stepney, London in 1808, but would like to know more about their origins.John's career as a Mariner makes Patrice believe that he moved around a lot, and that this was perhaps the reason why his children with Margaret are baptised later than expected.Can you help her find evidence of John Carson and Margaret Smith's early life and parents? If you think you can help Patrice with a research clue or idea, then you can message her via the email address she gives in the episode or alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass that right along.In the meantime, Andrew thinks he's finally got the right coordinates... but will he find the correct Place?- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerLori Samuelson - GuestDebbie Bradley - GuestDr. Patrice Connelly - GuestRuth Willmore - GuestJohn Spike - Sándor PetőfiStephane Flux - Foley ArtistSupport the showThank you for listening!

In today's episode, I'm joined by Alice Ruhweza, President of AGRA. Alice grew up in Uganda as the daughter of the country's first post-colonial chief game warden, and spent 20 years working in conservation before taking on the job of making African farmers prosperous.You'll hear why Alice says she worked in conservation for two decades without ever being a conservationist, what happened when the communities living around Uganda's last mountain gorillas were finally asked what they actually needed, and why she thinks nutrition is the most important bet on the continent over the next decade.Resources and links:AGRA WebsiteAlice on LinkedInConnect:Future Fork podcast websitePaul Newnham on InstagramPaul Newnham on XPaul Newnham on LinkedInDisruptive Consulting Solutions websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub on XSDG2 Advocacy Hub on FacebookSDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn

Mutinta Nketani – National Coordinator Zambia Alliance for Agroecology and Biodiversity 20 Years of Failure:  On today's show, after nearly two decades and billions in backing, has Africa's so-called Green Revolution delivered on its promises—or deepened hunger and dependency? We take a  look at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, AGRA, and the fight for food sovereignty across Africa. Timothy A. Wise – senior research fellow at Tufts University's Global Development and Environment Institute I'll speak to Mutinta Nketani National Coordinator for the Zambia Alliance for Agroecology and Biodiversity (ZAAB).  Ms. Nketani is was a coauthor on the 2020 assessment of AGRA and is part of a delegation from the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa to AGRA's  Africa Food System Forum in Kigali, Rwanda. And Timothy A. Wise, a Tufts University Global Development and Environment Institute senior research fellow and author of the new Green Revolution assessment, “Requiem for Africa's Green Revolution”.  Mr. Wise wrote the book “Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness, Family Farmers, and the Battle for the Future of Food” (The New Press 2019). The post 20 Years of Failure appeared first on KPFA.

Včeraj je na mednarodnem kmetijsko-živilskem sejmu AGRA v Gornji Radgoni potekalo srečanje predstavnikov koordinacije AGRASLOMAK, ki povezuje zamejske kmetijske organizacije iz Italije, Avstrije, Madžarske in Hrvaške z ministrico za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu Suzano Lep Šimenko ter ministrom za kmetijstvo Janezom Ciglerjem Kraljem in obema državnima sekretarkama. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena mladim, njihovemu vključevanju v kmetovanje ter prenosu kmetijskih gospodarstev na mlajše generacije. Ministrica je podčrtala, da ima kmetijstvo v zamejstvu poleg gospodarskega in razvojnega pomena tudi pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju slovenske skupnosti. Spomnila je, da so zamejske kmetije tudi v težkih zgodovinskih okoliščinah ostajale prostor, kjer so se ohranjali slovenski jezik, kultura in identiteta. Naglasila je željo, da bi organizacija AGRASLOMAK v svoje vrste pritegnila čim več mladih, saj je prihodnost kmetijstva v zamejstvu v veliki meri odvisna od tega, ali bo mladim omogočeno, da v kmetovanju prepoznajo perspektivo in možnost za kakovostno življenje ter delo na podeželju.

Kmetijstvo je to poletje močno prizadela suša v kombinaciji z visokimi temperaturami. Suše in drugi vremenski ekstremi bodo pogosti tudi v prihodnje. Prilagajanje novim podnebnim razmeram za ohranjanje varne preskrbe s hrano je osrednja tema številnih strokovnih posvetov in okroglih miz na kmetijsko-živilskem sejmu AGRA te dni v Gornji Radgoni. Tam je nastal tokratni Studio ob 17.00 z osrednjim vprašanjem, kako pospešiti namakanje kmetijskih površin. Bo država odprla projektne pisarne, bo ministrstvo vzpostavilo nov oddelek za namakanje? Bodo poenostavili pridobivanje vodnih dovoljenj? Gostje: Janez Cigler Kralj, kmetijski minister; Peter Lovšin, državni sekretar na ministrstvu za okolje in prostor; dr. Marina Pintar, dekanja Biotehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani; Marko Černe, specialist za namakanje pri Kmetijskem zavodu Ptuj; Jakob Bogovič, mladi kmetovalec iz Krškega.

Letošnje poletje je poskrbelo za več temperaturnih rekordov in drugih vremenskih ekstremov, ki postajajo vse pomembnejši dejavnik v kmetijstvu. Vplivajo namreč na količino in kakovost pridelka, posledice pa čutijo tako kmetje kot potrošniki. Razmere v tej panogi so v ospredju letošnjega kmetijsko-živilskega sejma Agra v Gornji Radgoni, kjer je pristojni minister Janez Cigler Kralj kmetovalcem napovedal pomoč, potrošnike pa je pozval k nakupu slovenskih pridelkov, češ da lahko s tem najbolje neposredno podpremo slovenskega kmeta. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Bodo tako imenovani superreferendumski dnevi postali stalnica? - Rusija zavrača nove ukrajinske predloge za končanje vojne kot nesprejemljive. - Ptuj v okviru Rimskih iger še danes v antični preobleki.

Večji del države je včeraj prešla nevihtna linija s sunki vetra in nalivi, ki so prekinili dolgotrajno vročinsko obdobje, hkrati pa so ponekod povzročili nevšečnosti. Teh je bilo največ na Primorskem, kjer so bile padavine najbolj obilne, ponekod na severovzhodu pa dežja ni bilo. Hladna fronta bo sicer nad nami tudi danes. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - V ospredju letošnjega sejma Agra izzivi kmetovanja v senci podnebnih sprememb. - Ruski napadi na ukrajinsko nakupovalno središče zahtevali najmanj 16 smrtnih žrtev. - Letošnji Praznik idrijskih žlikrofov z novostmi v spremljevalnem programu.

Težko pričakovane padavine so v preteklih dveh dneh po državi povzročile precej težav, so pa vsaj nekoliko ubležile izjemno hudo sušo. Že zdaj je jasno, da bo škoda v kmetijstvu zaradi suše ogromna, njeno odpravljanje in ukrepi za večjo odpornost kmetijstva na vremenske ujme pa bodo med glavnimi temami na mednarodnem kmetijsko-živilskem sejmu Agra v Gornji Radgoni. Druge teme: - Podpora evropskemu paktu o migracijah in azilu politični strel v koleno za italjansko vlado. - Današnji dan bogat s tradicionalnimi prireditvami po državi. V Idriji na račun prišli ljubitelji žlikrofov. - Kolesar Tadej Pogačar začenja lov na še zadnjo neosvojeno tritedensko dirko. Nika Bobnar do brona v vožnji na čas na sredozemskih igrah.

V Gornji Radgoni so dopoldne odprli tradicionalni mednarodni kmetijsko-živilski sejem Agra. V ospredju odprtja 64-ega sejma sta bila prehranska varnost in odpornost kmetijstva na podnebne spremembe. Kmetijski minister Janez Cigler Kralj je med drugim potrdil, da bo država kmetom v prihodnjih dneh izplačala odškodnine zaradi lanske suše ter jim obljubil pomoč zaradi visokih cen goriva in gnojil. Druge teme: - Francija je obljubila pospešitev dobave najnovejše opreme in raket Ukrajini, ki se sooča s pomanjkanjem sistemov protizračne obrambe. - Papež Leon 14-i na obisku v San Marinu izpostavil to žepno državo kot zgled dobre politike, usmerjene v skrb za človeka. - Slovenske odbojkarice so bile za uvod evropskega prvenstva boljše od favoriziranih Nemk.

Z vprašanji suše se v minulih tednih zelo ukvarjajo na kmetijskem ministrstvu, zato je bil to jutro naš gost minister za kmetijstvo Janez Cigler Kralj. Z njim smo spregovorili o pristopu k dolgoročnem reševanju te tematike, kar je sicer v domeni vsaj dveh ministrstev, spregovoril pa je tudi o vlogi kmetijskega ministrstva na sejmu AGRA.

A la tercera ha anat la vençuda. El primer cop que li proposaren era president de la comissió de Reis i no podia compatibilitzar càrrecs. El segon cop coincidí amb la mort de la seva mare. I el tercer cop arriba, així ho confessa ell mateix, en un moment de pau interior que ha fet net de maldecaps del passat. La mare ja no hi és, en Pere està delicat de salut, però Sant Bartomeu donarà un cop de mà en allò que faci falta. En Joan Roca es mostra immensament agraït, confessa que el garatge de Can Baron fou la primera opció per a col·locar el Sant, però es descartà aviat, i anirà a la processó amb vestit de lli i barret confeccionat per Cristina López. Conversem amb el pendonista, a qui acompanyaran a dreta i esquerra, Jordi Baron i Cisco Arbonés. L'entrada Joan Roca, un pendonista immensament feliç, i immensament agraït ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Books at Bedtime: The Sign of the Four – Chapter 7 (The Episode of the Barrel)Welcome to another soothing installment of Books at Bedtime, brought to you by the Calming Anxiety podcast and the Anchored app. In tonight's reading, we drift back into the fog-tinged world of Victorian London with Chapter 7 of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Sign of the Four.As the frantic and dark energy of the night begins to settle into the quiet grey of a winter dawn, Dr. Watson escorts a weary Miss Morstan home, wrestling with his growing affection and the unfairness of a massive inheritance that stands like a barrier between them. Returning to Pondicherry Lodge, Watson reunites with Holmes and an eccentric new ally—Toby, the ugly, long-eared, half-spaniel mongrel with an unmatched nose for a trail.Together with Toby, they follow the pungent scent of creosote through the zigzagging side streets of London, tracking the elusive wooden-legged man, Jonathan Small, and his mysterious, nimble accomplice. Holmes brilliantly reconstructs the history of the Agra treasure, the pact made by the four associates, and the tragic sequence of events that led to the murder of Bartholomew Sholto. Yet, even the finest deductive minds are prone to the whimsical twists of fate, leading to a surprisingly humorous climax at a London timberyard.Let the rhythmic pace of this classic detective tale ground your mind, quiet your thoughts, and ease you into a deep, restful sleep.

VOV1 - Hôm nay (21/6), hàng triệu người dân tại Ấn Độ và nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới cùng tham gia các hoạt động hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế lần thứ 12.Phát biểu tại sự kiện quy mô lớn ở thành phố Kolkata, Thủ tướng Narendra Modi khẳng định yoga không chỉ giúp nâng cao sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần mà còn là sức mạnh kết nối con người, các quốc gia và nền văn hóa trên toàn cầu.Thủ tướng Ấn Độ đã chủ trì sự kiện Ngày Yoga quốc tế lần thứ 12 trên tuyến đường Red Road nổi tiếng của Kolkata với sự tham gia của hàng nghìn người dân thuộc nhiều tầng lớp xã hội. Đây là hoạt động trọng tâm trong chuỗi sự kiện hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế năm 2026 được tổ chức trên khắp Ấn Độ và nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới.Phát biểu tại buổi lễ, Thủ tướng Modi nhấn mạnh yoga đã vượt ra khỏi phạm vi một phương pháp rèn luyện sức khỏe để trở thành cầu nối giữa các dân tộc và nền văn hóa trên toàn cầu: “Khi xã hội khỏe mạnh, quốc gia cũng trở nên vững mạnh, thịnh vượng và tự tin hơn. Hôm nay, cả đất nước và thế giới dường như được kết nối với nhau. Đó chính là sức mạnh của yoga. Yoga kết nối con người, đưa mọi người đến gần nhau hơn. Nhân dịp này, tôi cầu mong mọi người đều hạnh phúc; cầu mong mọi người đều không bệnh tật. Tôi xin gửi những lời chúc tốt đẹp nhất tới toàn thể nhân loại nhân Ngày Yoga Quốc tế.”Năm nay, Ngày Yoga Quốc tế được tổ chức với chủ đề “Yoga cho tuổi già khỏe mạnh”, nhấn mạnh vai trò của yoga trong việc nâng cao sức khỏe thể chất, tinh thần và chất lượng cuộc sống khi tuổi tác ngày càng cao.Thủ tướng Modi cho rằng mục tiêu của yoga không chỉ là kéo dài tuổi thọ mà còn giúp con người duy trì sự năng động, linh hoạt và khả năng chống chọi với bệnh tật trong suốt cuộc đời. Ông khẳng định yoga có thể giúp hạn chế các bệnh liên quan đến lối sống hiện đại, đồng thời cải thiện sức khỏe tinh thần và khả năng thích ứng với những thay đổi của tuổi tác.Người đứng đầu Chính phủ Ấn Độ cũng kêu gọi đưa yoga trở thành một phần trong cuộc sống hằng ngày của mỗi gia đình thay vì chỉ thực hành vào các dịp kỷ niệm. Theo ông, yoga không chỉ cần thiết cho sức khỏe cá nhân mà còn đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc xây dựng một xã hội khỏe mạnh và bền vững hơn trong tương lai.Cùng với sự kiện chính tại Kolkata, các hoạt động hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế lần thứ 12 đã diễn ra sôi nổi trên khắp Ấn Độ, từ các thành phố lớn, trường học, doanh nghiệp, doanh trại quân đội cho tới những địa điểm di sản văn hóa nổi tiếng. Nhiều bang đã tổ chức các buổi tập yoga tập thể quy mô lớn nhằm lan tỏa thông điệp về lối sống lành mạnh và nâng cao nhận thức cộng đồng về vai trò của yoga đối với sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần. Tại Odisha, chính quyền bang đã triển khai Tuần lễ Yoga, đồng thời đẩy mạnh ứng dụng công nghệ số để đưa yoga đến gần hơn với người dân ở khu vực nông thôn.Nhiều hoạt động yoga cũng được tổ chức tại các địa điểm mang tính biểu tượng của Ấn Độ như đền Mặt Trời Konark ở Odisha, các công trình di sản tại Agra hay các trung tâm văn hóa và tâm linh trên cả nước. Sự tham gia rộng rãi của các tầng lớp xã hội cho thấy yoga ngày càng trở thành một phần trong đời sống thường nhật của người dân Ấn Độ, đồng thời tiếp tục được Ấn Độ quảng bá như một đóng góp quan trọng của Ấn Độ đối với sức khỏe và phúc lợi toàn cầu.Yoga có nguồn gốc từ nền văn minh cổ đại của Ấn Độ và hiện đã trở thành một phong trào toàn cầu vì sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần. Năm 2014, Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc đã thông qua nghị quyết lấy ngày 21/6 hằng năm là Ngày Yoga Quốc tế theo đề xuất của Thủ tướng Narendra Modi và lễ kỷ niệm đầu tiên được tổ chức vào năm 2015.Sau hơn một thập kỷ, Ngày Yoga Quốc tế đã trở thành sự kiện thường niên có sức lan tỏa rộng khắp, góp phần quảng bá các giá trị về sức khỏe, sự cân bằng và lối sống lành mạnh tới cộng đồng quốc tế./.Đình Nam/VOV-New DelhiĐông đảo người dân Ấn Độ tập Yoga.

She grew up in Agra, studied computer science and AI at Columbia, landed on an asset-backed mortgage securities trading floor in New York, moved to London, spent six years in finance, had a full-blown existential crisis, quit to build a startup, stumbled into the vacation rental industry almost by accident, had a baby, got lost down an AI rabbit hole, nearly derailed her marriage, and is now running two businesses while teaching women worldwide how to use AI to earn more and work less. And it seems like all that happened without her taking a breath! Yhangry is a private chef booking platform she co-founded in the UK. It started as a consumer product for anyone who wanted a chef to cook at home. Then Siddhi discovered that 50% of her users were vacation rental guests and property managers, and everything changed. Yhangry is now one of the most interesting upsell opportunities in the STR space: property managers can generate a simple affiliate link, share it with guests, and earn commission whenever a chef is booked. No operational overhead. No coordination. The platform handles everything from booking to payment to quality assurance. The conversation covers all of that, and then it goes somewhere else entirely. Because Siddhi is also the founder of SheCompoundsAI, a live AI education event series focused on helping women build practical AI skills. She brings the same direct, jargon-free energy she uses on stage to this conversation, and what comes out is one of the most accessible explanations of prompting, agents, and reverse prompting I have heard anywhere. If you have been hovering at the edge of AI adoption and not quite sure how to get started, this episode gives you the simplest possible on-ramp. And if you are a property manager looking for a genuinely low-effort upsell revenue stream, the Yhangry conversation is worth your attention. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

És una feina minuciosa, però agraïda perquè les obres de restauració del campanar estan responent a les previsions. Els especialistes confirmen que mai hi hagut un risc estructural, perquè les parets del campanar tenen un gruix considerable, però per la resta és evident que les cares que donen a mar són les que han patit més. Avui hem visitat el campanar i els arquitectes Jaume Trullà i Laura Martinez, acompanyats d'Aitana, tècnica de restauració, i en Marcos, cap d'obra, ens han explicat els detalls bàsics que cal conèixer. I una data: si tot va bé, la primera quinzena de juliol el campanar estarà acabat. Agraïm les facilitats donades per Trullà Arquitectura i Veta conservació per a la realització d'aquesta mòbil. L'entrada Si tot va bé, les obres del campanar estaran enllestides la primera quinzena de juliol. En parlem amb l’equip tècnic ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

What if the key to reinventing your career isn't a dramatic leap—but a quiet, stubborn plan built one small step at a time?  In this warm, deeply honest episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Lorraine Whale, qualified genealogist, house historian, and founder of Time Flies Ancestry—who spent over 25 years in HR and leadership roles before following a passion she'd been nurturing for decades. Their conversation spans career reinvention, the emotional cost of falling out of love with a profession, the underrated power of a good plan, and what it really means to lead yourself forward when nobody else is handing you a roadmap.  Lorraine opens with something that will resonate with many—she doesn't see herself as a leader at all. But as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that her definition of leadership, building trust, giving others confidence, showing up with tenacity—is exactly what she has been doing all along, in boardrooms, in genealogy archives, and at home as a single mum raising a son she is quietly and fiercely proud of. She shares how she mapped her escape from HR with an Excel spreadsheet worthy of Andy Dufresne, why redundancy felt like liberation, and how a squiggly career can be the most intentional one of all.  They also get into the human side of HR—why it too often becomes a ticketing system rather than a true business partner, what real people functions should look like, and the question that changed everything for Lorraine: Do you want to retire working in this? And for anyone wondering whether it's too late to start over, Lorraine's answer is simple: find the thing that lights you up, make a plan, and don't just do nothing.  This is a conversation that will meet you with grace wherever you are in your career—and quietly nudge you to take that first step.   Episode Timeline: 00:03:54 "I've never seen myself as a leader"  00:06:38 From admin to HR to genealogy — finding her place  00:16:39 Solitude, community, and the AGRA network  00:18:38 Falling out of love with a profession  00:21:19 What great HR actually looks like  00:29:02 The Andy Dufresne escape plan  00:34:02 Squiggly careers and waiting for what's next  00:40:13 The first small step  00:43:32 Loving the problem-solving of genealogy 00:49:43 The village it takes to raise a child  00:56:13 Self-care when there's no time for it  00:58:26 Find the thing that lights you up 00:59:13 How to find Lorraine and Time Flies Ancestry   Key Takeaway: Reinvention Isn't a Leap — It's a Long Game: Changing direction doesn't mean scrapping everything overnight. Lorraine spent years qualifying, downsizing, and planning while still in her HR role. The most meaningful career shifts are built slowly, deliberately, and with a very clear goal in sight.  Your Whole Career Is the Foundation, Not the Obstacle: A squiggly path isn't a weakness — it's a toolkit. Every function, every stakeholder, every challenge you've navigated gives you a perspective that a linear career never could. Don't discount it. Build on it.  Ask Yourself the Uncomfortable Question: Lorraine's turning point came from one honest question — would I want to retire doing this? Sitting with that discomfort is where real clarity begins. If the answer is no, that's not a crisis. That's a starting point.  If You Have a Goal, Make It Visible: Good intentions don't create change — a plan does. Whether it's an Excel spreadsheet, a timeline, or a milestone tracker, seeing your progress move is what keeps you going when the goal still feels far away.   About Lorraine Whale: Lorraine Whale is a professional genealogist and family history researcher who helps people uncover their ancestral stories and preserve family and house histories.

India's past is often told as a sequence of empires rising and falling — but few moments were as decisive as the 18th century, when one power came remarkably close to reshaping the entire subcontinent. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Uday S. Kulkarni joins Bharatvaarta to trace the rise of the Marathas — from the early vision of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to a force that expanded across India, challenged the Mughals, and altered the balance of power in the subcontinent. We unpack how Swaraj was not just a political idea but a civilisational response to centuries of upheaval, how military innovation, mobility, and leadership enabled rapid expansion, and why Delhi became the ultimate symbol of power for the Marathas. The conversation moves through defining moments — the encounter with Afzal Khan, the confrontation with Aurangzeb, the resilience after Sambhaji Maharaj's execution, and the long 27-year war that hardened Maratha resolve into an unstoppable force. It also examines the rise of the Peshwas, the expansion into North India, alliances and conflicts with regional powers, and the moment when the Marathas stood as the dominant force across much of the subcontinent. This episode isn't just about history. It's about how power is built, lost, and remembered. ⸻ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – 00:40 • Opening Hook: The Power That Almost Ruled India 00:40 – 05:30 • The World Before the Marathas: Fragmentation & Invasions 05:30 – 10:30 • Shivaji's Vision: Swaraj as a Civilisational Idea 10:30 – 15:30 • Afzal Khan & The Turning Point of Power 15:30 – 22:00 • Aurangzeb, Agra & The Limits of Empire 22:00 – 30:00 • War, Resistance & The Making of Maratha Strength 30:00 – 38:00 • Sambhaji Maharaj & The Cost of Defiance 38:00 – 50:00 • The 27-Year War: How the Marathas Outlasted the Mughals 50:00 – 01:05:00 • Expansion Beyond the Deccan: The Road to Delhi 01:05:00 – 01:18:00 • The Rise of the Peshwas & Maratha Dominance 01:18:00 – 01:28:00 • Alliances, Conflicts & Control of North India 01:28:00 – 01:37:00 • Legacy, Decline & Lessons from Maratha Power ⸻

Navigating Grief, Leadership, and Global Opportunity: Strategic Insights from Carl ManlanIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Carl Manlan, a prolific Author and the Head of Partnerships and Business Development at AGRA. Their wide-ranging conversation delved into the profound intersection of personal loss, empathetic leadership, and the immense economic potential within African markets. Carl, who also co-hosts the Inside the Blueprint Podcast with his daughter, shares how his poetry collection, I Can Breathe, serves as a vessel for processing grief and transforming it into a leadership strength. This episode provides a masterclass for executives and founders on how to cultivate more humane, resilient workplaces while staying attuned to the intergenerational shifts shaping the future of global business.From Personal Reflection to Empathetic Organizational DesignThe modern executive often operates at a pace that leaves little room for the "inner work" required to lead with true empathy. Carl Manlan advocates for a radical return to self-reflection, citing his own practice of a 120-day writing course as the foundation for his professional clarity. By dedicating time to pause and reconnect with formative experiences, leaders can dismantle the stoic barriers that often hinder authentic connection with their teams. This process isn't merely therapeutic; it is a strategic alignment tool that allows a leader to recognize that their employees are whole people who carry invisible burdens—including grief—into the workspace every day.Creating an empathetic work environment requires moving beyond performative sympathy toward structural support. Carl emphasizes that grief is a manifestation of love and a universal human experience that doesn't simply vanish at the office door. Leaders must normalize conversations around mental well-being and loss, providing "space rather than just sympathy." This means building flexibility into operational workflows and fostering a culture where vulnerability is modeled from the top down. When a leader acknowledges their own humanity, it gives the entire organization permission to be resilient, ultimately reducing burnout and increasing long-term employee engagement.Furthermore, the conversation highlighted the necessity of intergenerational dialogue in future-proofing an organization's culture. Through his work with his daughter, Carl demonstrates that the next generation of innovators—particularly in emerging markets like Africa—view the world through a lens of digital fluency and social impact. For businesses looking to tap into the "Africa that exists"—a continent of 1.4 billion people driven by youth and entrepreneurship—the approach must be one of partnership rather than paternalism. By bridging the gap between established leadership wisdom and the fresh curiosity of the youth, organizations can unlock new narratives of hope, healing, and unprecedented economic opportunity.About Carl ManlanCarl Manlan is a celebrated Author, poet, and international development professional.

Transcript:Hi: ताज महल का सियाहाना कोई साधारण अनुभव नहीं होता।En: Visiting the Taj Mahal is not an ordinary experience.Hi: यह बस एक सुंदर संगमरमर की इमारत नहीं है, बल्कि यह प्रेम और शिल्पकला का अद्वितीय उदाहरण है जो सदियों से लोगों को आकर्षित कर रहा है।En: It is not just a beautiful marble building, but an extraordinary example of love and craftsmanship that has been attracting people for centuries.Hi: एक साफ-सुथरी सर्दी की सुबह थी।En: It was a clear and crisp winter morning.Hi: ताज महल की सफेद चमचमाती दीवारें धूप में झिलमिला रही थीं।En: The white, shimmering walls of the Taj Mahal were glistening in the sunlight.Hi: यमुना नदी के शांत पानी के करीब आगरा का मौसम शांत और सुखद था।En: The weather in Agra was calm and pleasant, near the tranquil waters of the Yamuna River.Hi: आज का दिन खास था, क्योंकि पहली बार इतिहास के दीवाने आरव इस अद्भुत जगह के दर्शन करने पहुँचे थे।En: Today was a special day because, for the first time, history enthusiast Arav had come to see this amazing place.Hi: आरव एक हंसमुख और जिज्ञासु व्यक्ति था।En: Arav was a cheerful and curious person.Hi: उसके चेहरे पर ताज महल को देखने का उत्साह साफ झलक रहा था।En: The excitement of seeing the Taj Mahal was clearly reflected on his face.Hi: साथ में थी मीरा, एक अनुभवी स्थानीय गाइड।En: Accompanying him was Mira, an experienced local guide.Hi: मीरा के पास ताज महल की हर छोटी-बड़ी जानकारी थी।En: Mira had detailed knowledge of every little detail about the Taj Mahal.Hi: वे ताज महल की खूबसूरती देख रहे थे।En: They were admiring the beauty of the Taj Mahal.Hi: आरव ने एक-एक कहानी सुनी, जो मीरा ने उसे बताई।En: Arav listened to each story that Mira told him.Hi: "यहां शाहजहाँ और मुमताज की प्रेम कहानी सदियों से जीवित है," मीरा ने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा।En: "Here, the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz has lived on for centuries," Mira said with a smile.Hi: लेकिन, कुछ देर घूमने के बाद आरव के चेहरे पर झंझलाहट दिखने लगी।En: But after a while of roaming around, a frown appeared on Arav's face.Hi: उसकी चाल धीमी हो गई, और उसके चेहरे का रंग उड़ गया।En: His pace slowed down, and his complexion became pale.Hi: उसे चक्कर आने लगे।En: He started feeling dizzy.Hi: उसने पहले इसे नजरअंदाज किया, सोचते हुए कि यह जल्द ही ठीक हो जाएगा।En: He ignored it at first, thinking it would get better soon.Hi: पर जैसे ही वे मुख्य द्वार के पास पहुँचे, आरव अधिक अस्वस्थ महसूस करने लगा।En: However, as they reached near the main gate, Arav started feeling more unwell.Hi: मीरा ने उसकी हालत देखी और तुरंत पूछा, "आपको ठीक लग रहा है?En: Seeing his condition, Mira quickly asked, "Are you feeling okay?"Hi: " आरव ने पहले हिचकिचाते हुए कहा, "मैं ठीक हूँ," लेकिन हवा में हाथ मारते ही उसकी नजर धुंधली हो गई।En: Arav initially hesitated and said, "I'm fine," but as he waved his hand in the air, his vision became blurry.Hi: कुछ क्षणों में, आरव नीचे गिरने ही वाला था कि मीरा ने उसे तेजी से पकड़ लिया।En: In moments, Arav was about to fall when Mira quickly caught him.Hi: "बैठिए, आरव जी!En: "Sit down, Arav ji!"Hi: " मीरा ने सावधानी से उसे पास की बेंच पर बिठा दिया।En: Mira carefully seated him on a nearby bench.Hi: उसकी आँखों में चिंता थी, पर आवाज में सूझबूझ।En: There was concern in her eyes, but her voice was composed.Hi: "पानी पीजिए," मीरा ने उसे पानी की बोतल दी और धीरे-धीरे उसके माथे पर पानी के छींटे मारे।En: "Drink some water," Mira offered him a bottle of water and gently sprinkled water on his forehead.Hi: आरव ने कुछ मिनटों में संजीदा होकर सिर हिलाया।En: In a few minutes, Arav nodded thoughtfully.Hi: "मुझे समझ में नहीं आ रहा कि अचानक ऐसा क्यों हुआ," उसने कमजोरी भरी आवाज में कहा।En: "I don't understand why this happened suddenly," he said in a weak voice.Hi: मीरा ने उसे एक स्थानीय क्लिनिक ले जाने का सुझाव दिया।En: Mira suggested taking him to a local clinic.Hi: "आपको जल्दी प्रतिक्रिया देखनी चाहिए।En: "You should see a quick response."Hi: "क्लिनिक में, डॉक्टर ने उसे आराम करने की सलाह दी और कुछ दवाइयाँ दी।En: At the clinic, the doctor advised him to rest and provided some medication.Hi: थोड़ी देर बाद, आरव पहले से बेहतर महसूस करने लगा।En: After a while, Arav started feeling better.Hi: जब वे ताज महल लौटे, आरव के दिल में फिर से ऊर्जा थी।En: When they returned to the Taj Mahal, Arav felt energized again.Hi: उसने मीरा को धन्यवाद दिया, "आपकी मदद के बिना, मेरा यहां का अनुभव अधूरा रह जाता।En: He thanked Mira, "Without your help, my experience here would have remained incomplete."Hi: "मीरा ने मुस्कराते हुए कहा, "कभी-कभी, किसी जगह को पूरा अनुभव देने के लिए आपसी सहारा भी जरूरी होता है।En: Mira smiled and said, "Sometimes, mutual support is necessary to fully experience a place."Hi: "अब, आरव ने न केवल ताज महल की भव्यता देखी थी, बल्कि उस प्यारे अनुभव का अर्थ भी समझा।En: Now, Arav had not only witnessed the grandeur of the Taj Mahal, but he also understood the meaning of that lovely experience.Hi: उसने समझा कि कभी-कभी मदद लेना भी हमारी यात्रा का हिस्सा होता है।En: He realized that sometimes accepting help is also a part of our journey.Hi: इस तरह, आरव ने न केवल एक ऐतिहासिक संरचना को देखा, बल्कि उस दिन जीवन के एक महत्वपूर्ण सबक का भी अनुभव किया।En: In this way, Arav not only saw a historical structure, but he also experienced an important life lesson

Send us a text We visit Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai with linguist and educator Dr. Jilani Warsi.Old Delhi draws us into the Red Fort's vast red sandstone walls, the bustle of Jama Masjid, and the color and flavors of Chandni Chowk where chai, sweets, and silks leave their mark. We balance that with New Delhi's calm and the Lotus Temple's open welcome to all faiths, then look upward at Qutub Minar's 12th-century tower, a vertical timeline of early rule and artistry. Along the way, we share on-the-ground advice: why to skip driving yourself, how to group sites to save time, and where an evening light-and-sound show still brings the past to life.Agra reframes the journey around love and power. The Taj Mahal becomes more than a postcard as dawn light turns marble rosy and the close-in inlay work reveals delicate stone flowers. Across the Yamuna River, Agra Fort holds Shah Jahan's final vantage point, a story you can feel when a small mirror catches the mausoleum's glow. A short hop leads to Fatehpur Sikri, where Hindu and Islamic design blend into one living compound, proof that style can be a bridge across belief.Mumbai changes the tempo again: Marine Drive's night shimmer, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link stretching like a lit ribbon, and the gravitational pull of Bollywood's studios and theaters. We leave the skyline by boat for Elephanta Island, where ancient cave temples to Shiva offer a cool breath and timeless stonework. Between stops, we chase flavor—kebabs, biryani, and samosas, and share simple ways to eat well and safely where the locals line up.Whether you're planning your first India itinerary, refining a return, or just enjoying armchair travel, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find it too._____Dr. Jilani Warsi, born a two-hour drive from Mahabodhi Temple in Gaya where Buddha reached Nirvana, grew up in a multilingual environment and teaches at Queensborough Community College in New York.
