"In the context of where Confluent can play a critical part, it's also the interoperable integration with all the respective AI ecosystems. If you think about what AI is doing, it's working across microservices, working across data lakehouses, databases - could be a different endpoint service. Bringing all that together in a secure and consistent manner, constantly serving that information, is where I think it plays the most pivotal role." - Kamal Brar Fresh out of the studio, Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President of Worldwide ISV and Asia Pacific/Middle East at Confluent, joins us to explore how data streaming platforms are becoming the critical foundation for enterprise AI across the regions. He shares his career journey from Oracle to Confluent, reflecting on his passion for open source technologies and how the LAMP stack era shaped his understanding of real-time data challenges. Kamal explains Confluent's evolution from the category creator of Kafka to a comprehensive data streaming platform combining Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg, emphasizing how real-time data infrastructure enables businesses to harness both public AI models and proprietary enterprise data while maintaining governance and security. He highlights compelling customer stories from India's National Payments Corporation processing billions of UPI transactions daily to healthcare AI applications serving patient needs, showcasing how data streaming solves fragmentation challenges that plague 89% of enterprises attempting AI adoption. Addressing implementation hurdles, he stresses that data infrastructure is the most critical piece for AI success, advocating for standards-based interoperability through Kafka's protocol and Confluent's extensive connector ecosystem to unlock siloed legacy systems. Closing the conversation, Kamal shares his vision for Asia Pacific becoming Confluent's largest growth region, powered by massive-scale innovations in payments, mobile transformation, and AI on the edge for autonomous vehicles and next-generation interfaces.

https://savageminds.substack.com/p/joti-brar-0bf Joti Brar, chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist CPGB-ML), discusses the compassionless media coverage of the genocide in Gaza and the obfuscation of the horrors of the siege in Gaza.

In this episode, Joti Brar, chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist CPGB-ML), discusses the compassionless media coverage of the genocide in Gaza and the obfuscation of the horrors of the siege in Gaza, much less the fact that contrary to legacy media, the violence has gone on for far longer than two years. Similarly, workers of the world recognise the pervasiveness of similar propaganda within their own trade unions which are often complicit with the bourgeois propaganda of the ruling elite. As a result, workers today, Brar relates, feel powerless in the absence of strong leadership within their unions. Stressing the need for workers to start making demands of their unions and governments, Brar runs through a list of demands upon which we must all insist, from the breaking of links with the pseudo-leftist parties such as the Labour Party in the UK or the Democratic Party in the US, to refusing to allow the state to oversee the running and organisation of unions, and the building up of strike funds. Brar also notes how workers are increasingly disenfranchised and angry as governments promote culture wars and tribalism (eg. climate change, immigration, and gender ideology) in order to pivot workers against each other, while media and politicians collude with each other, promoting one side as wrong, the other as right, leading populations to bypass reason and to identify with the ruling class. Brar also chronicles the root problems of mass migration, a phenomenon primarily caused by wars and the follow-up looting process promoted by Western nations, all while the imperialist class benefits from paying the bare minimum in immigrant wages while driving a wedge between members of the domestic working class and the immigrant working class, creating an anti-migrant fear. Covering the positive influence of her father, Harpal Brar, on her political education, Brar historicises mid-twentieth century Marxist organisation within Britain in which both her father and mother participated.

What Jeremy Corbyn's experience reveals about the future of revolutionary politics in Britain. Should the Left engage in electoral politics — or build power outside of parliament? Is identity politics being used as a ruling class ideology to divide and weaken class struggle? Joti Brar brings clarity to the crises of NATO, Russia, and British politics, while addressing fundamental questions of strategy for the international Left. Subscribe! Donate!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze3DvZZIu54 Reproduced from ‪@garlandn‬ with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT & DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR... Joti Brar: Earlier this week I talked with Garland Nixon about rising discontent in the imperialist heartlands as the economic crisis bites and conditions for workers become ever worse. When inflation is wiping out pay and increasing numbers of people are homeless in the richest countries in the world, is it any wonder that more people are starting to look favourably at the alternative (ie, at socialism)? We talked about the militarisation of the police as governments prepare to suppress rising dissent and unrest. And we talked about the militarisation of the economy as governments prepare to put the whole of society on a war footing. We also looked at the role of the new home secretary Shabana Mahmood, a muslim woman whose job will be to front up the ruling class's pro-zionist, anti-free-speech and anti-immigrant regimes here in Britain. We discussed the situation where police in Britain continue to carry out mass arrests of peaceful protestors holding cardboard signs in solidarity with proscribed organisation Palestine Action, even as British armed forces continue to participate directly in the genocide in Gaza. With all this evidence, it's time we woke up to the fact that neither the capitalist state machinery nor the bourgeois electoral system can be used to solve the very urgent problems we face. Instead of praying for justice (from a weighted and inherently unjust system) and nicer leaders (to front up a system of ruthless exploitation) we need to organise ourselves to dismantle this machinery of war, repression and exploitation and build a state of a new type – one where the working class wields power and takes decisions in its own interests. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPSaxk1c5S0 Joti Brar: Earlier this week I talked to Garland Nixon about why it is that workers in the west feel so powerless in the face of their ruling classes. Why do we think there is nothing we can do to stop the genocide in Gaza – or any other attack by the exploiting class on our conditions of life? We talked about the crucial role of bought-off leaders of our mass organisations and trade unions – a layer of controlled opposition whose role is not to help the working class use its collective power but to make sure it doesn't. We talked about why it is important that workers in the west join the fight to overthrow capitalist-imperialism. And we talked about what a mass campaign of non-cooperation looks like, and what we should be doing to demand that it is built. Hands off Gaza! ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPQHz3OQnFc Joti Brar: Today I spoke with Garland Nixon about the crisis in the capitalist economies of the west and how their indebtedness and decline is making their war drive ever more urgent and desperate. We talked about how the war on Russia has backfired economically, politically, militarily and socially, and noted how Nato's defeat is deepening the very crisis it was supposed to solve (by providing an orgy of looting for western finance capital at the expense of the Russian people). We discussed how constant concentration of wealth in the hands of a dwindling number of uber-rich is a central feature of capitalist economic life, and how times of crisis will always accelerate this process, so that even quite big businesses fail and are bought up/asset stripped by the few mega-corporations that are big enough to ride out the crisis (for now). We talked about the lessons we are learning at first hand about imperialism and its true nature by witnessing the monstrous crimes of the zionist proxy as a constant live feed. And we noted that the only way to escape the need to pay such horrific blood prices as the slaughters we have been witnessing in Ukraine and Palestine (among many others) is to break the gordian knot of capitalist economic relations and replace production for profit (which today only really serves the hedge fund owners) by a planned economy (which serves the mass of the working people). ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexE8LJPnRA Today I (Joti Brar) spoke with Garland Nixon about the contradictions at the heart of the declining imperialist camp. Why does the Trump regime need constantly to ‘talk up' the markets, to talk up US military and economic power? Why do European imperialists agree to such humiliating terms when new ‘deals' are announced? Is this proof that west Europe has been colonised? We talked about the superstitious reverence western workers are imbued with from birth regarding ‘the rules' and ‘the law', leading far too many of us to become endlessly caught up in trying to find the right law with which to fight our corner and bring some corrupt institution or individual to account. But who makes the law and who does it apply to? What about international law? Does it really exist? Did it ever? How did the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Tribunals get replaced with the ICC and the ‘rules-based international order'? We also discussed the fascistic laws and regimes of repression that are being rolled out across western imperialist societies with minimal resistance. This is all part of the Nato bloc's drive to war, and the leaderships of the mass working-class organisations that should be helping us defend ourselves from these attacks by the class enemy and oppose its criminal war/genocide machine are instead helping in their implementation. We don't need Corbyn 2.0 in 2029, we need a mass campaign to reclaim/rebuild our unions and other organisations right NOW. ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

https://www.cultivatingself.org/ ... Today, we're incredibly honored to feature Raji K. Brar, a true trailblazer whose journey from humble beginnings to the highest levels of public service is nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Fresno County, Raji's story is rooted in the hard work and determination of her immigrant parents from Punjab, India, who started their lives as farmworkers. That foundation propelled her to earn degrees in biology and healthcare administration from Cal State Bakersfield, eventually leading her to play a key role in her family's thriving real estate and development firm, Countryside Corporation. But Raji's impact extends far beyond business. In 2006, she shattered barriers by becoming the first Sikh woman ever elected to a municipal government seat in California, joining the Arvin City Council. This historic achievement earned her the prestigious Woman of the Year by the California State Assembly. She's a four-time gubernatorial appointee and lends her expertise to influential boards like the California Chamber of Commerce and Kern Medical. Most recently, Raji was appointed as a Trustee on the California State University Board, a testament to her dedication to education and public service. Beyond her impressive professional and political career, Raji is also the co-founder of the Bakersfield Sikh Women's Association, a powerful organization dedicated to empowering her community through health, wellness, and educational initiatives. ... https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/meet-the-board-of-trustees/Pages/raji-kaur-brar.aspx ... https://shiningsikh.com/meet-raji-kaur-brar-a-trailblazing-sikh-woman/ ...  

https://www.youtube.c /watch?v=-33J30qu5wk http://www.thecommunists.org http://www.lalkar.org http://www.redyouth.org Yesterday I talked with Garland Nixon about the steady move towards totalitarianism in Europe. What does it mean that communism is being equated with ‘nazism' and banned? What does it mean that civil disobedience and political dissent are labelled ‘terrorism' and criminalised? We talked about the root causes of the attack on workers everywhere – the global capitalist crisis of overproduction and the desperate drive of the financiers for ever deeper austerity and ever more aggressive war as they try to balance their books and bring back profitability. Our governments are targeting relatively small sections of the population with repression at the moment, and many people are turning a blind eye. Too many of us have not understood that these measures are aimed at the whole working class – they are aimed at preventing us from organising in our own interests and gaining real freedom. The blood price demanded by this dying system in order to try to stabilise itself and bring about a ‘reset' is enormous. Are we prepared to pay with our lives just so our exploiters can continue to rule the world?

This podcast episode, hosted by Kikee Doma Bhutia from the University of Tartu, features journalist and analyst Aadil Brar discussing India's foreign policy amidst rising global tensions. The conversation focuses on India's balancing act between the US, China, and its own strategic autonomy in a contested Indo-Pacific region. Key topics include India's evolving role as a middle power, responding to China's assertiveness along the India-China border and in the Indo-Pacific, while maintaining its traditional non-alignment stance. India's foreign policy is at a crossroads, shaped by five tense years since the Galwan Valley clash with China. Despite rounds of talks, the border remains uneasy and trust is scarce. Today, China's assertiveness drives nearly every major Indian strategic decision-from military deployments and Quad partnerships to concerns over Beijing's mega-dams on the Brahmaputra. Meanwhile, the US sees India as a key counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific, but Delhi is determined to maintain its independence and avoid being boxed into alliances. As India watches China's moves from the Himalayas to Taiwan, the question is clear: Are we witnessing a true pivot in Indian foreign policy, or simply a sharp recalibration to meet new realities? The answer will shape Asia's balance of power for years to come. The podcast was brought to you by host Dr. Kikee Doma Bhutia a Research Fellow and India Coordinator at the Asia Centre, University of Tartu, Estonia. Her current research combines folkloristics, international relations and Asian studies, focusing on the role of religion and culture in times of crisis, national and regional identities, and geopolitics conflict between India and China. The podcast guest speaker Aadil Brar is a journalist and international affairs analyst based in Taipei, currently a Reporter at TaiwanPlus News. His reporting focuses on international security, U.S.-China relations, and East Asian security. Previously, he was a China news reporter for Newsweek and has contributed to the BBC World Service, The Print India, and National Geographic. In 2023, he was a Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fellow and a visiting scholar at National Chengchi University in Taipei.

This podcast episode, hosted by Kikee Doma Bhutia from the University of Tartu, features journalist and analyst Aadil Brar discussing India's foreign policy amidst rising global tensions. The conversation focuses on India's balancing act between the US, China, and its own strategic autonomy in a contested Indo-Pacific region. Key topics include India's evolving role as a middle power, responding to China's assertiveness along the India-China border and in the Indo-Pacific, while maintaining its traditional non-alignment stance. India's foreign policy is at a crossroads, shaped by five tense years since the Galwan Valley clash with China. Despite rounds of talks, the border remains uneasy and trust is scarce. Today, China's assertiveness drives nearly every major Indian strategic decision-from military deployments and Quad partnerships to concerns over Beijing's mega-dams on the Brahmaputra. Meanwhile, the US sees India as a key counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific, but Delhi is determined to maintain its independence and avoid being boxed into alliances. As India watches China's moves from the Himalayas to Taiwan, the question is clear: Are we witnessing a true pivot in Indian foreign policy, or simply a sharp recalibration to meet new realities? The answer will shape Asia's balance of power for years to come.

Have you considered quitting therapy? Well, it might actually be a great idea. In this episode, we explore the idea that therapy isn't necessarily a lifelong commitment but rather a dynamic tool to be used when needed. We debate constant introspection may do more harm than good, questioning the fine line between healthy self-awareness and potentially damaging over-analysis. We chat with our friend, Karan Brar, to explore the motivations behind self-reflection, investigating whether it serves as a genuine quest for personal growth or merely as a coping mechanism to navigate the psychological intricacies surrounding the fear of being perceived as flawed, examining societal pressures and the internal narratives that drive this apprehension.
