The Constitution promises freedom, but really,  how free are we under its design? In 2025, India's Constitution turned seventy-five: a remarkable testament to endurance and adaptability. Yet, beneath its promise of liberty lies a constant negotiation of power. Gautam Bhatia examines the Constitution not just as a legal document, but as a dynamic terrain where visions of authority clash, intersect, and contend for supremacy. Central to this story is the drift toward centralisation: power increasingly concentrated in the union executive. While certain elements of this concentration are embedded in the Constitution's design, landmark Supreme Court judgments have, at key moments, accelerated the trend. This talk explores how these structures shape, channel, and sometimes constrain the possibilities for emancipation. Through a careful reading of the Constitution's text, history, and interpretations, Bhatia sheds light on the subtle (and often contested) mechanisms that govern India's democracy. A Q&A will follow, giving audiences a chance to engage with these questions of power, freedom, and the ongoing relevance of India's constitutional experiment. The Vijay Nambisan Trust: The Vijay Nambisan Trust was formed to perpetuate the cause of Humanities in its many spheres. The Vijay Memorial Lecture to be held every year is the first event to be sponsored by the Trust in partnership with the Bangalore International Centre. About Vijay Nambisan:One of the best poet-writers of his generation, Vijay Nambisan is known as much for his poetry and prose, as he is for his reclusiveness. He dropped out of IIT Madras in his fourth year of engineering to pursue his love for the written word. He won the first All India British Council Poetry Prize in 1988, worked for a number of years in the literary section of The Hindu and published collections of poetry and prose in his inimitable style. He was married to surgeon and novelist, Kavery Nambisan. In this episode of BIC Talks, Gautam Bhatia delivers a talk.

L'entreprise de demain se prépare à partir des réalités économiques et sociales déjà visibles et se construira par des choix assumés. François Clément-Grandcourt est président d'Entreprise et Progrès depuis mai 2025. Il est également membre du comité exécutif du groupe BIC et directeur général de la division briquet au niveau mondial.Il nous fait l'honneur de partager dans cet épisode les priorités du think tank de dirigeants fondé il y a plus de 50 ans, qui travaille sur la place de l'humain dans l'entreprise et sur la notion de progrès. Deux chantiers et une réflexion de fond structurent les travaux 2026. Le premier chantier concerne la démographie. La baisse du nombre de personnes arrivant sur le marché du travail est mesurable. Pourtant, elle reste peu intégrée dans les décisions stratégiques des comités de direction.Cette évolution impacte directement le métier de manager : fidélisation, diversité, place des seniors, engagement des collaborateurs. Elle oblige à repenser l'équilibre entre performance et responsabilité. Le deuxième chantier porte sur les jeunesses.François Clément-Grandcourt insiste sur le pluriel. Les profils, les attentes et le rapport au travail sont multiples. L'enjeu est d'adapter les pratiques managériales pour intégrer ces différentes jeunesses et organiser la coopération intergénérationnelle. Les questions de la transmission et de la confiance deviennent centrales. La réflexion de fond interroge le progrès.Que signifie le progrès pour l'entreprise de demain dans un contexte de transformations rapides et d'automatisation croissante ?Direction stratégique claire, cohésion du collectif, capacité de mise en mouvement. L'entreprise est décrite comme une société à échelle réduite, capable d'expérimenter et d'ajuster.Pour les managers et les DRH, cet échange apporte des repères sur l'impact managérial des transitions en cours : anticiper plutôt que subir, clarifier le cap, renforcer la cohérence du leadership et faire évoluer les pratiques au service de la performance durable. L'entreprise de demain ne repose pas uniquement sur des outils. Elle dépend de la capacité des organisations à décider d'avancer. Entreprise et Progrès est le think tank des dirigeants qui placent l'Humain au cœur de l'entrepriseEntreprise et Progrès rassemble des dirigeants autour de problématiques concrètes rencontrées dans leurs organisations. Les sujets sont choisis par les adhérents eux-mêmes afin d'anticiper les évolutions du futur du travail et de proposer des pistes applicables dans les entreprises.

What does it take to dream beyond your time—and make those dreams real? Vikram Sarabhai, founder of India's space programme, imagined communication satellites that would educate people when even a modest rocket launch seemed audacious. He envisioned agricultural complexes powered by atomic energy, sea water turned drinkable, and a modern India fuelled by science and creativity. But Sarabhai was more than a scientist—he co-founded the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, the National Institute of Design, the dance academy Darpana, and India's first textile research cooperative, ATIRA. He also ran a thriving pharmaceutical company and launched India's first market research organisation, ORG. As India navigates its twenty-first century aspirations, this session revisits the humane, imaginative, yet pragmatic vision of a man who built enduring institutions. Drawing from Vikram Sarabhai: A Life, author Amrita Shah offers an intimate portrait of a multifaceted genius whose legacy continues to shape India's present and future. After her talk, she will be in conversation with Jahnavi Phalkey, exploring the many lives and lasting vision of this extraordinary builder of modern India. In this episode of BIC Talks, Amrita Shah will be in conversation with Jahnavi Phalkey. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Oct 2025.

Halloween night, 2001. A blue moon hangs over Virginia, a celestial event so rare it only occurs a handful of times per century. Seth, a young man wrestling with his faith and freshly removed from Liberty University, decides on a whim to drive out to the Blue Ridge Parkway alone. No plan, no destination, just a quiet stretch of road under a perfect, cloudless sky. He pulls into an empty turnout, not a single car in sight, and figures, why not take a night hike? The trail is short, the visibility through the trees is crystal clear, and he settles onto a bench to take in the stillness. That's when the silence becomes unnatural. No insects. No wind. Nothing, until the snapping of twigs begins circling him from the darkness. Back at his car, things escalate. Pinging sounds strike the steel frame of his 1970 Chevy Bel Air like pine cones being hurled from the void. The tree line ahead begins shifting, figures standing where there were none before. And on the grass median to his left, flat shapes appear like blankets tossed on the ground, cloaked and hooded but with no depth, no hands, no faces. Each time Seth looks away and back, they've moved closer. Then comes the flickering, a light sparking where a face should be, like a Bic lighter that can't hold a flame. Seth has never been able to find another account like this, and we try to unpack it through the lens of his testimony, childhood trauma, spiritual access, and the strange convergence of a once-in-a-generation night.

At its heart, The Dark Hours of the Night is a story about girlhood under constraint, about how adolescence, desire, and freedom are shaped and stifled within the walls of a conservative household. Rabia's journey, woven together with the lives of her friends and cousins, illuminates the subtle negotiations, unspoken rebellions, and fragile solidarities that mark women's coming-of-age in a patriarchal world. The novel opens a conversation about the everyday intimacies of restriction and resistance: the ache of thwarted desire, the bonds of friendship, the weight of silence, and the difficult balance between compromise and courage. It asks what it means to grow up when the future has already been decided, and whether education, love, or even small acts of defiance can shift those boundaries. In this session, Subodh Sankar and Salma will reflect on these resonant themes, of gender, family, power, and the search for selfhood, that lie at the centre of The Dark Hours of the Night and across Salma's larger body of work. இரண்டாம் ஜாமங்களின் கதை என்பது கட்டுப்பாடுகளின் நடுவே வளரும் பெண் சிறுவயதின் கதை. இளமையின் ஆசைகள், சுதந்திரத்தின் கனவுகள் மற்றும் எதிர்பார்ப்புகள், ஒரு மரபுவழி குடும்பத்தின் சுவர்களுக்குள் எவ்வாறு கட்டுப்படுத்தப்படுகின்றன என்பதை இந்த நாவல் வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது. ராபியாவின் வாழ்க்கைப் பயணம், அவளது தோழிகள் மற்றும் சொந்தங்கள் இணைந்து, பெண்களின் வளர்ச்சிப் பாதையில் அமைதியான எதிர்ப்புகள், நுட்பமான சமரசங்கள், சொல்லப்படாத போராட்டங்கள் மற்றும் உறவுகள் எவ்வாறு உருவாகின்றன என்பதை சுட்டிக்காட்டுகிறது. இந்த நாவல் அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையில் காணப்படும் கட்டுப்பாடுகள் மற்றும் எதிர்ப்புகளைப் பற்றி உரையாடலைத் தொடங்குகிறது: நிறைவேறாத ஆசைகள், நட்பு பந்தங்கள், மௌனத்தின் சுமை, சமரசம் மற்றும் துணிச்சலின் இடைநிலைகள். எதிர்காலம் ஏற்கனவே தீர்மானிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் சூழலில் வளர்வது என்றால் என்ன, கல்வி, அன்பு அல்லது சிறிய எதிர்ப்புகள் கூட அந்த எல்லைகளை மாற்ற முடியுமா என்பதையும் கேட்கிறது. இந்த உரையாடலில், சுபோத் சங்கருடன் சல்மா, இரண்டாம் ஜாமங்களின் கதை மற்றும் தனது விரிவான படைப்புகளின் மையத்தில் இருக்கும் பாலினம், குடும்பம், அதிகாரம் மற்றும் தனித்தன்மை தேடல் போன்ற கருக்களை ஆராயவுள்ளனர்.

Between Gandhi and Savarkar lies the story of India's unresolved future. The future of India has long been caught between two irreconcilable visions. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar were not just men, but embodiments of two enduring ideologies: Hind Swaraj and Hindutva. Their contest was never merely personal; it was a struggle over what India could, and should, become. Partition was one gash on the body of the nation, its scars still visible. Can India afford new wounds? To even attempt an answer, we must return to the old antagonisms – between communities, yes, but also within Hindu society itself. Few rivalries have been as sharp, or as consequential, as that between Gandhi and Savarkar. Based on his new book, Hindutva and Hind Swaraj, this talk reflects on the unresolved gulf between Gandhi and Savarkar. Not as history, but as a question that remains open: can such differences ever be bridged, or are they the fault lines of India's future?

Before the spotlights, who kept the women's game alive? In 2017, India's women cricketers came heartbreakingly close to a World Cup win at Lord's. That match lit a fire, changing how the country saw its women athletes, and laying the foundation for today's Women's Premier League – the first women's sports league to turn profitable even before a single ball was bowled. It's the first time since that iconic evening at Lord's that the Women's World Cup is set to be hosted in India. This session will celebrate those forgotten days when world cups in India were played in front of empty seats, even when the cricket itself was no less significant. Bringing these narratives to life are Karunya Keshav, Ananya Upendran, and Aayush Puthran. This is a chance to hear directly from some of the best storytellers on women's cricket.

[Rediffusion]---------La ménopause, on le sait, signifie l'arrêt des règles. Pour en parler, on reçoit aujourd'hui deux invités: les docteurs Lucie Joly, psychiatre à l'hôpital Saint-Antoine et à l'hôpital Trousseau (AP-HP, Sorbonne Université), spécialisée dans la santé mentale des femmes, et Hugo Bottemanne, psychiatre à l'hôpital Bicêtre (AP-HP, université Paris-Saclay) et chercheur associé à l'Institut du cerveau de Paris. Ils ont coécrit La Dépression au féminin, qui est paru en septembre aux éditions du Rocher.On y apprend notamment que les femmes seraient deux fois plus touchées que les hommes par la dépression. Dans l'ouvrage, il est écrit ceci: «Tantôt désignée sous des noms peu affables –“l'âge critique”, “l'hiver des femmes”, “l'âge climatérique” ou la “verte vieillesse”–, ce moment charnière dans la vie des femmes reste encore imprégné de représentations sociales dévalorisantes.»Avec eux, on se demande comment est réellement vécu ce moment par les femmes? Est-ce que le risque de dépression augmente? Que se passe-t-il au niveau des hormones? Que faire quand la période est trop dure à supporter?Anna Roy est sage-femme depuis plus de dix ans, chroniqueuse aux «Maternelles» et autrice d'une quinzaine d'ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique autour de la santé des femmes, celles des jeunes, des vieilles, des ados, des mères.

What happens when institutions bend, freedoms collapse, and silence rules? India once knew. Five decades may have passed, but the Emergency remains a stark reminder of how swiftly freedoms can be curtailed. In those 21 months, prisons filled, the press was silenced, and democratic institutions bent under the weight of authoritarian rule. The questions it leaves behind are urgent: what does this episode tell us about the fragility of democracy, and what echoes of it persist today? A new volume gathers reflections from scholars, writers, historians, journalists, and activists to probe this turbulent chapter and its continuing relevance. Joining the discussion are Peter Ronald de Souza, co-editor of the book, historian Janaki Nair, sociologist Chandan Gowda, and political scientist Rinku Lamba, in a conversation moderated by Thomas Abraham. In this episode of BIC Talks, Peter Ronald deSouza, Janaki Nair, Chandan Gowda and Rinku Lamba will be in conversation with Thomas Abraham.

Lionel dissects the origins of the Jersey Devil, tracing the legend back to Mother Leeds and a feud with Benjamin Franklin. The conversation shifts to the philosophy of belief, challenging callers on how they distinguish between cryptids like Bigfoot, the "Shadow Man," and religious figures. From the logistics of Noah's Ark to the Cambrian explosion, Lionel debates creationism versus evolution, mocks the "watchmaker" argument, and wonders how you would explain a Bic lighter to a caveman.

Kyle Austin Young discovered through two devastating layoffs that success is not determined by desire alone, but by understanding probability and systematically managing risk. Most people fatally underestimate their odds by averaging probabilities rather than multiplying them—a mathematical error explaining why nine out of ten businesses fail. Kyle's consulting methodology asks not just What am I hired to do? but What can I do to make this succeed? By identifying potential failures and creatively eliminating them before they occur, he developed probability hacking, a framework that transforms how people approach obstacles and achievement. Kyle's philosophy centers on strategic risk anticipation rather than blind positivity. Real-world examples—from a nonprofit's hidden email glitch causing donation decline, to Bic's unwanted women's pens, to Edison's thousands of failed experiments—prove systematic de-risking works better than motivation alone. He advocates thinking negative as rigorous analysis of what could go wrong, followed by creative prevention. Repeated attempts, not talent, separate successful people from failures, and paused goals often generate unexpected successes, like YouTube evolving from a failed dating site. His personal path of pursuing smaller milestones before his larger goal demonstrates how systematic sequencing builds assets that make success inevitable. Kyle Austin Young's mission is empowering people to pursue meaningful goals through probability-based thinking rather than affirmations alone. Success comes through better odds management, not greater talent. To learn his complete framework, visit his website and grab his book Success Is a Numbers Game: Achieve Bigger Goals by Changing the Odds on Amazon. Start today by identifying one risk for every goal and brainstorming one creative solution. Any day can be your fresh start when you commit to changing your odds.

This week we visit Tattershall Church. As we'll hear in this episode, Holy Trinity is a very important place for bats, with two maternity roosts present along with a number of other species. The site has been part of the National Bat Monitoring Programme for many years.The church is a great example of co-existence with a large number of bats and the church community have built great relationships with Lincolnshire Bat Group and they use bats as a unique selling point to engage visitors. The congregation hold bat-themed events throughout the season and have even created merchandise featuring their ‘Tatty Bat' mascot. However, cleaning has been a constant challenge.In this episode we hear how the Bats in Churches (BiC) project supported the church to help alleviate the challenges that bats were causing and we also speak to artist Ilene Sterns whose artwork On a Wing and a Prayer was exhibited inside Holy Trinity as part of the BiC project. Support the showPlease leave us a review or star rating if your podcast app allows it because it helps us to reach a wider audience so that we can spread the word about how great bats are. How to write a podcast review (and why you should).Got a story to share with us? Please get in touch via comms@bats.org.ukBats are magical but misunderstood. At BCT our vision is a world rich in wildlife where bats and people thrive together. Action to protect & conserve bats is having a positive impact on bat populations in the UK.

The Masterclass Hegemony, Revolt and Selfhood: India's Encounters with Languages explores three defining moments in India's linguistic journey: the arrival of Sanskrit, Persian, and English. Each language came from beyond India's borders, gained a foothold, and extended its influence across diverse cultures, communities, and tongues. Their dominance shaped not only communication but also identity, politics, and thought. Thus, becoming inseparable from the larger story of India itself. These lectures will trace how each language consolidated its power, how resistance took form, and how new voices emerged in the process. Strikingly, in every encounter, it was not the imperial language that endured, but the languages rooted in the soil (the desa, the nadu) that reshaped and redefined the cultural landscape. As we step into an uncertain digital future, this series asks whether India's linguistic resilience will once again carry it forward, as it has so often before. Language and Hegemony Explore how Sanskrit, Persian, and English reshaped India across centuries. Each entered from outside, claimed cultural power, and ruled the imagination, but India remained a linguistic civilization defined by diversity. This talk uncovers why language became both a tool of hegemony and the essence of India's selfhood. In this episode of BIC Talks, G N Devy delivers a masterclass.

Trust is thin, history is long, and the consequences? Unforgiving. India and China share a long border and a longer shadow. Security risks and market hopes pull in opposite directions. In a world of shifting power, India must choose with care. This evening explores that choice through the ancient philosophical and logical Indian discipline of Purva Paksha.  Each speaker first presents the other's case, fully and fairly, before offering their own. The aim isn't to score points, but rather, to see clearly: where trust frayed, where interests align, and where wisdom might guide policy. Expect a rigorous, humane conversation that values nuance over noise, and context over heat. If you've wondered how India can guard its borders while growing its future, this format offers you a chance to learn through respectful debate. For those who prize thoughtfulness, this is a rare chance!

Sundar Sarukkai's second novel published recently titled Water Days is a reflective look at the changes in his home city, Bangalore, how everyday life gets formed and what happens to the city insidiously and quietly. He explores migration and the changing social fabric, patriarchy, language, linguistic conflicts, power, and who gets to belong in the melting pot that is Bangalore. Water Days is not just a novel about a city; it is a novel about what it means to belong when everything around you is changing. Sarukkai does not romanticise Bangalore, but he listens carefully to it, and implores you to do so as well. Somak Ghoshal says of the novel in Mint: "Water Days is as much a call to reckon with the transformation of a city as an object lesson in empathy, observation, and community living. As urban India becomes divisive, unliveable, and intensely self-serving, it is chroniclers like Sarukkai who continue to do the work that no policy maker or political leader is doing – inspiring us with feelings to make us more concerned and caring citizens." In this episode of BIC Talks, Sundar Sarukkai will be in conversation with Stanley Carvalho. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Sep 2025.

Adolescence has never been easy, but today's teenagers face unique challenges: the pressures of a digital world, rising academic demands, and the aftershocks of a global pandemic. Rates of anxiety and depression are climbing, leaving parents searching for tools to support their children. This discussion, inspired by Resilience Decoded: What Every Parent Should Know About Teen Mental Health, brings together author Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty, biological scientist, writer and resilience coach; philanthropist and education innovator Rohini Nilekani; and award-winning filmmaker Pavitra Chalam, who will moderate the conversation. Together, they will explore how parents can better understand the adolescent brain, strengthen everyday habits that boost resilience, set healthy boundaries around technology, and communicate in ways that build trust. Drawing on neuroscience, lived experience, and practical strategies, the session offers parents not just guidance but a roadmap for action. Because resilient teens begin with resilient parents, this conversation aims to equip families with knowledge, skills, and hope. Presented by: Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty In this episode of BIC Talks, Sujata Kelkar Shetty and Rohini Nilekani will be in conversation with Pavitra Chalam.

Time to lift your Bic lighters up over your heads, Slackers!By 1981 the radio belonged to a handful of bands we still hear almost every day. Most people remember the massive ballads, the ones that cleared the floor at middle school dances or showed up in every movie montage. Because those songs were so huge, the bands got stamped as “soft rock” or “corporate” and that label has stuck for forty years.The part that rarely gets mentioned is how good the actual players were. These weren't studio creations or hired guns. These were working bands who spent years on the road or in the studio before anyone had heard of them. When the hits finally came, the same guys who wrote the three-minute love songs could still stand on stage and deliver hours of tight, inventive rock that most critics pretended wasn't there.This episode looks past the hits everyone knows and focuses on the musicianship that made the hits possible in the first place. I'll breakdown some of the biggest radio friendly rock bands of the era and lay out why their reputation as musicians never seems to align with their massive fame. If you've written this whole corner of the 80s off as lightweight, as I certainly did as a teen, this one's for you.

Public interest litigation (PIL) is a legal innovation of fairly recent vintage which was inspired by noble objectives. It has been seen as a useful tool in widening access to justice, especially in societies scarred by poverty, illiteracy, human exploitation, corruption and maladministration. The concept took deep roots in India some thirty years ago and has now become an ubiquitous feature of the legal landscape. Over the years, however, Indian PIL has, in Dr Venkat Iyer's view, produced a plethora of serious negative consequences, most of them unintended (but not unforeseeable), which have the potential not only to discredit the concept itself, but to irreversibly destroy the trust that the Indian masses have placed in the judiciary – an institution which has, over the past five decades, been come to be seen, rightly or wrongly, as the last bastion of freedom and the rule of law. The lecture is aimed at shining a critical spotlight on the state of PIL in contemporary India and to suggest that the time has come for a serious reappraisal of attitudes in this important area of law and public policy. In this episode of BIC Talks, Venkat Iyer will be in conversation with C N Kumar. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

It's here. The climate crisis is no longer a distant warning. Climate Change: The Policy, Law, and Practice is a vital intervention. A book that gathers decades of global negotiations, Indian legal battles, and emerging climate jurisprudence into one urgent and accessible narrative. From courtroom precedents to cutting-edge policy, from carbon markets to constitutional rights, it examines how law can both shape and respond to the climate emergency. Author and legal expert Jay Cheema draws from his experience as Amicus Curiae to the Supreme Court of India in a landmark carbon emissions case. Guiding us through the evolving legal architecture of climate action and accountability, his presentation will be followed by an incisive conversation with an interlocutor to explore the tensions and hopes within the climate discourse. An open Q&A will close the session. Reshaping landscapes, displacing lives, and challenging our very systems of governance, this crisis can no longer be sidelined. Forests burn where there was once monsoon green, rivers swell as glaciers retreat, and the ancient cycle of India's six ritus feels increasingly unfamiliar. The chaos predicted by climate scientists in the 50's is increasingly creeping into our reality. Because the climate crisis is not only legal and political, but deeply personal. In this episode of BIC Talks, Jatinder 'Jay' Cheema will be in conversation with Navaneeta Bhaskar. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

Insider accounts from political aides, bureaucrats, and diplomats have long illuminated the workings of power—but even more enigmatic were the lobbyists. Operating in the shadows, often invisible to public scrutiny, they were intimately privy to clandestine negotiations, back-channel discussions, and subtle bureaucratic skirmishes. In his new roman-à-clef For No Reason At All, Ramjee Chandran shines a light on this hidden world. Chandran—well‑known in Bangalore as a journalist, publisher, and podcaster—has, until now, remained silent about his time as a lobbyist in 1980s New Delhi, a pivotal era just before major economic reforms took hold. Drawing from real events, the novel charts the journey of a young lobbyist caught in a high-stakes conflict over silicon metal—a material deemed strategically vital. Central to the drama is Metkem Silicon, which, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, devoted 17 years to developing indigenous silicon metal technology. Yet their efforts collided with a rival scheme spearheaded by the Department of Electronics, which wanted to bypass local innovation and import U.S. technology. What ensued was a four‑year bureaucratic war: media leaks, secret memorandums, and the covert involvement of the Soviets and other intelligence agencies—culminating in a final decision placed in the hands of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Set against the backdrop of Cold War Delhi on the cusp of liberalisation, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a nation—and capital—torn between ideologies and ambitions. The Soviet Union may have vanished, lobbyists have receded from public corridors, and few can claim first‑hand knowledge of that era. In Confessions of a Lobbyist, Siddharth Raja—a lawyer, historian, and bibliophile—sits down with Ramjee Chandran to peel back the layers of this story, offering an insider's glimpse into a world that feels at once distant and disarmingly relevant. In this episode of BIC Talks, Ramjee Chandran will be in conversation with Siddharth Raja. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

Are we teaching children what to think, or how to think? When our children focus on rote learning and exam-based academic progress, how do we nurture the inventive Indian who can fuel the imagination of the world with creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving? What if classrooms became labs of imagination, not factories of repetition? These are the questions that the Agastya International Foundation set out to answer 25 years ago, by designing a curiosity-driven, experiential learning model that has transformed education across India. Today, their vision of sparking curiosity, nurturing creativity and instilling confidence and caring has impacted over 25 million schoolchildren and 300,000 teachers in government schools across 23 Indian States. An acclaimed new book from Penguin Random House, The Moving of Mountains traces Agastya's extraordinary journey in reshaping the classroom by replacing rote learning with hands-on experiments, creative projects and interactive models in science, art and ecology. Join us in a discussion of why this powerful vision for curiosity-driven, experiential learning is critical to the future of India, and has caught the imagination of scientists, industry leaders, educationists and policy makers alike.

In 1995, there was a landmark meeting on gender equality in Beijing: the Fourth World Conference on Women. The conference produced the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a highly influential blueprint for advancing women's rights. It was at this conference that then–First Lady Hillary Clinton famously declared, “Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all.” Last week, at the United Nations General Assembly, there was a 30-year commemoration of this landmark conference, which has become a touchstone for advocates around the world — particularly from civil society. Today, I'm joined by two of those advocates: Bani Dugal and Liliane Nkunzimana, representatives of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations. They explain why the conference 30 years ago was so significant, how it continues to influence debates on gender equality today, and how to keep advancing gender equality in a profoundly different geopolitical context three decades on. This episode is produced in partnership with the Baha'i International Community, an NGO that represents the worldwide Baha'i community at the UN and other international forums, where it emphasizes that recognizing humanity's interconnectedness is key to a shared global future. The Baha'i International Community recently released the book "In Full Partnership: Thirty Years of Women's Advancement at the United Nations and Beyond, " which honors 30 years since the landmark Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the creation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
