Why did Britons get up a play wherever they went? In Strolling Players of Empire: Theater and Performances of Power in the British Imperial Provinces, 1656–1833 (Cambridge UP, 2022), Dr. Kathleen Wilson reveals how the performance of English theater and a theatricalized way of viewing the world shaped the geopolitics and culture of empire in the long eighteenth century. Ranging across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans to encompass Kingston, Calcutta, Fort Marlborough, St. Helena and Port Jackson as well as London and provincial towns, she shows how Britons on the move transformed peripheries into historical stages where alternative collectivities were enacted, imagined and lived. Men and women of various ethnicities, classes and legal statuses produced and performed English theater in the world, helping to consolidate a national and imperial culture. The theater of empire also enabled non-British people to adapt or interpret English cultural traditions through their own performances, as Englishness also became a production of non-English peoples across the globe. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this revisited episode, we have a very special show because we are celebrating the anniversary of Independent India, which fell on August 15th. Our special guest is Shukla Lal, a writer based in New Delhi, who has recently written a book detailing her personal experience from the partition that led to India's Independence. We hear the amazing story of her father's incredible escape in the midst of the violence and mayhem of the partition. Later in the episode, Shukla's daughter, Sonia Kullar, reads an excerpt from Shukla's book, Rano and Phulo.  IN THIS EPISODE: [01:50] Shukla and her new book on the 75th Anniversary of the Partition of India are introduced. [05:39] We hear about Shukla's family's experience before the partition and how her father escaped. [11:45] We learn how her true events are interwoven into her short story. [14:30] We explore how Shukla's story captures an India frozen in time. [18:50] Has India grown into the identity it desired after the partition? [21:16] We hear about the future of India and more about Shukla's written work. [24:57] An excerpt from Rano & Phulo written by Shukla Lal, and read by Shukla's daughter, Sonia Kullar  KEY TAKEAWAYS: Shukla and her family left for Shimla on holiday, never believing that they would not return to their home due to rising political and religious tensions, now known as the partition of India. Her book is based on her family's experience during this time. Following the partition, there was a renewed sense of nationalism and patriotism. It was also a time where women were leading out in entrepreneurship and contributing as business women.  India continues to rise and be recognized for its culture and ethics. Since the 60s and 70s it has grown from being a developing and poor nation to being a globally recognized and self-respecting nation.  Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free!

As a child, she imbibed the beauty and diversity of this beautiful land – India, as her family moved from Amritsar, Lahore, Shimla, to the Central and Southern cities of Madras (now Chennai), Nagpur and Hyderabad and eventually found their anchor in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the early-1950s. Over 40 years later, she moved to New Delhi to retire. Since catching the literary bug on her 80th birthday, Shukla has written two historical romance sagas, Floating Logs set in Kolkata (published by Notion Press in December 2019), and Rano and Phulo set in Undivided and then partitioned India (published by Goya Publishing in March, 2019), and a collection of poems, Meri Nazmon ka Ehsaas (soon to be published) all captured gamely on her iPad Notes App. She has finished the first draft of her third historical novel, Soul's Rapture, a mystical romance set in Lahore and Mumbai. She has also written several short stories. She was invited to write for the Chandigarh Tribune, and has been interviewed for the Reader's Digest, the Times of India, the Telegraph (Kolkata), and www.womensweb.com. Her deep spiritual practice and sense of wonder for the beauty of the world around her find expression in her storytelling. Her own lived experience adds luster and authenticity to her stories. Joyful wit and multilingual expressiveness is a family trait she inherited from her parents and shares with her accomplished siblings. Her choice of stories and writing style could best be understood from her own words “I am a romantic and an idealist by nature and find true romance scattered everywhere irrespective of class, creed, religion, nationality or age”.  Shukla Lal Website Shukla Lal on Facebook (personal) Shukla Lal on Facebook (business) Shukla Lal on Instagram  Good Reads - Shukla Lal  If you would like to purchase any of Shukla Lal's books, follow these links:: Amazon India Flipkart Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/true-fiction-project/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Shane Claiborne's deepest conviction is that we are meant to live ‘as if Jesus meant the things he said'. So for him that has meant living in community in inner-city Philadelphia for a few decades now, having picked up some lessons from a stint working under Mother Teresa in Calcutta. His activism has involved confronting various systemic injustices and speaking up for and standing alongside those whose voices aren't being heard. It's a powerful and challenging podcast.Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/LinAnXuxyNoCheck out shaneclaiborne.com and redletterchristians.org ---

Jim Towey is the former lawyer for Mother Teresa and the founder of Aging with Dignity, a nonprofit based in Falls Church, Virginia. He is the creator of the widely used Five Wishes advance directive. His story is as unique as it is powerful—marked by a journey from Capitol Hill to Calcutta, from chasing influence in Washington to walking alongside Mother Teresa and advocating for those society often forgets. As a former lawyer to Mother Teresa, White House staffer, and spiritual seeker, Jim has seen the best and worst of power, and ultimately chose a path of service, faith, and purpose. In this episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Jim for a moving conversation about transformation—from a young man caught up in ambition and worldly success to a servant of the poor and advocate for dignified end-of-life care. Jim opens up about his early struggles, his encounters with the allure of political power, and the life-altering moment he met Mother Teresa. Through that relationship, Jim discovered a deeper faith and a calling to live a life not for himself, but for others. The conversation explores themes of spiritual poverty, humility, leadership, and what it truly means to be prepared for both life and death. “I learned that a life not lived for others is not worth living.” – Jim Towey “Mother Teresa saw Jesus in his distressing disguise of the poor.” – Jim Towey “She used to say that If you're too busy to pray, you're too busy.” – Jim Towey This Week on The Wow Factor: Jim's early years in Jacksonville, Florida, and how basketball, ambition, and family challenges shaped his character The emotional spiral after achieving “success” on Capitol Hill—and how it left him feeling empty and morally lost His first encounter with Mother Teresa and the moment that changed everything at her Home for the Dying What it means to move from “gathering” to “giving,” and how Mother Teresa invited him into a life of self-sacrifice Why even Mother Teresa needed a lawyer—and how Jim helped her open AIDS homes, fend off fraud, and navigate immigration issues The spiritual darkness Mother Teresa experienced and what it taught Jim about faith, suffering, and perseverance Jim's creation of Five Wishes and how it helps millions of families plan for end-of-life care with dignity, clarity, and compassion Why acknowledging mortality and spiritual legacy is one of the most generous things you can do for loved ones Jim Towey's Word of Wisdom: Look at what you have—and be grateful. Gratitude is a choice. You can focus on what you're missing, or you can give thanks for the opportunities you've been given to enrich the lives of others. Leaders are led, and the greatest leaders live with humility and gratitude at the center.

Bridging Cultures: Sir William Jones and the India–Wales Connection Hadi Baghaei-Abchooyeh is a specialist in English and Comparative Literature. This talk explores the remarkable life and legacy of Sir William Jones (1746–1794), the Welsh-born jurist whose work in late-18th-century Bengal forged enduring intellectual ties between Wales and India. This talk explores the remarkable life and legacy of Sir William Jones (1746–1794), the Welsh-born jurist whose work in late-18th-century Bengal forged enduring intellectual ties between Wales and India. We'll trace his early bilingual upbringing and classical education in Wales, his pioneering role as a judge who championed legal pluralism in Calcutta, and his ground-breaking hypothesis linking Sanskrit and Persian with Greek, Latin, and Celtic languages—an insight that launched modern comparative linguistics. Along the way, we'll consider how Jones's dual identity as a Welshman and a colonial official shaped his empathy for both Celtic and South Asian traditions, and how his scholarship still resonates in contemporary debates on cultural revival, postcolonial identity, and the politics of heritage.

EPISODE 93 is live with Seth Fields

Episode 184 - Special guest April Lam returns to the podcast to discuss the life and attributes of her bestie Saint, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, with Father Danda. Saint Teresa of Calcutta, also known as Mother Teresa, has a legacy that has touched and influences millions of lives.

 The Controversial Truth1. The Crisis of FaithFor 50 years, Mother Teresa secretly struggled with a loss of connection to God, describing feelings of abandonment in private writings ("The Saint of Calcutta").She confessed to experiencing "the presence of the devil" five years before her death—yet publicly upheld an image of unwavering faith.2. Questionable Medical PracticesMultiple reports (including from volunteers like Hemley Gonzalez and journalist Donald Macintyre) reveal:Reused, unsterilized needles and contaminated water (justifying it as "God's will").No trained medical staff in her hospices, despite $30M/year in donations.Filthy conditions: Urine/feces-soaked laundry washed next to eating utensils.Refusal to improve care: Volunteers offering boilers or supplies were told "Jesus doesn't want that."3. Exploitation of Suffering?Critics (like atheist Christopher Hitchens) argue:She romanticized pain as "piety," denying painkillers to the dying.Focused on baptizing the terminally ill (often without consent) over alleviating suffering.Tied patients like animals: Reports describe children tethered to beds, a woman bound to a tree, and volunteers laughing at their distress.4. The "Miracle" ControversyHer first canonization "miracle" (a cancer cure) was debunked as the result of medical treatment.Funding priorities: Despite massive donations, facilities remained squalid—fueling accusations of performative charity.5. Legacy: Compassion or Cult?Pro: She drew global attention to the poor and inspired humanitarian work.Con: Evidence suggests her missions prioritized Catholic dogma over genuine care, with volunteers "intoxicated by the myth" (Macintyre).Key SourcesDocumentary: Hell's Angel: Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Chatterjee, 1994)Investigations: The Washington Post, New StatesmanVolunteer testimonies: Hemley Gonzalez, Donald MacintyreMy Video:  Mother Teresa: Saint or Sinner https://youtu.be/p1j41iIRCsoMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Mother-Teresa-Saint-or-Sinner.mp3For sources on the claims & quotes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OZtJUEXykEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEaKXRJ4NB4https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/02/25/why-to-many-critics-mother-teresa-is-still-no-saint/https://www.newstatesman.com/long-reads/2005/08/squalid-truth-behind-legacy-mother-teresahttps://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/31/asia/mother-teresa-controversies/index.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/08/movies/critic-s-notebook-a-skeptical-look-at-mother-teresa.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/14/books/books-in-brief-nonfiction-068195.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/mother-teresa-s-canonization-controversy-clouds-nun-s-work-n641181https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/icon-of-the-poor-leaves-legacy-of-controversy-1.105892

In this episode, we're discussing a brand-new book titled I WILL BLOSSOM ANYWAY by Disha Bose. This is a book about a young expat, Durga, who has moved from her native Calcutta, India to Ireland. Durga comes from an educated, middle-class family that observes traditional Indian ways, including “arranged” marriages. Durga is anxious to escape what she thinks of as the confines of her family and learn who she is without them around telling her who she must be. However, leaving their opinions behind is not as easy as she thinks it will be. This novel explores cultural differences and family conflicts but in a tender way. It would be a great beach read.

When the East India Company surrendered Fort William (in modern-day Kolkata) to the Nawab of Bengal on 20th June, 1756, dozens of British captives were imprisoned in a cell measuring only 18ft long and 14ft wide, with just two tiny windows - ‘the Black Hole of Calcutta'. Among the prisoners was John Zephaniah Holwell, whose pamphlet describing the terrors of the airless room caused a sensation back in Britain and became a cause célèbre in the idealization of imperialism in India. Holwell claimed 123 men lost their lives in the cell, although it is now thought the number of deaths was exaggerated. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover Holwell's mixed feelings around colonialism; consider how ‘the black hole of Calcutta' became an enduring term of phrase; and reveal what connected Kolkata with Olly's home village in Hertfordshire… Further Reading: • ‘A Genuine Narrative of the Deplorable Deaths of the English Gentlemen, and Others, who Were Suffocated in the Black-Hole in Fort-William, at Calcutta, in the Kingdom of Bengal, in the Night Succeeding the 20th Day of June, 1756, in a Letter to a Friend - By John Zephaniah Holwell' (A.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 366The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph CafassoSaint Joseph Cafasso's story Even as a young man, Joseph loved to attend Mass and was known for his humility and fervor in prayer. After his ordination, he was assigned to a seminary in Turin. There he worked especially against the spirit of Jansenism—an excessive preoccupation with sin and damnation. He used the works of Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Alphonsus Liguori to moderate the rigorism popular at the seminary. Joseph recommended membership in the Secular Franciscan Order to priests. He urged devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and encouraged daily Communion. In addition to his teaching duties, Joseph was an excellent preacher, confessor, and retreat master. Noted for his work with condemned prisoners, he helped many of them die at peace with God. Joseph urged one of his former pupils—Saint John Bosco—to establish the Salesians congregation to work with the youth of Turin. Joseph Cafasso died in 1860, and was canonized in 1947. His liturgical feast is celebrated on June 23. Reflection Devotion to the Eucharist gave energy to all Joseph's other activities. Long prayer before the Blessed Sacrament has been characteristic of many Catholics who have lived out the gospel well: Saint Francis, Bishop Fulton Sheen, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, and Saint Teresa of Calcutta among them. Saint Joseph Cafasso is the Patron Saint of: PrisonersPrussia Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this episode, host Sandip Roy Show is joined by author Ruchir Joshi who takes us back to Calcutta in the early 1940s, an era charged with political upheaval, global war, and cultural ferment. Set against the backdrop of Tagore's death, Subhash Bose's escape, the Quit India Movement, and the looming Bengal Famine, Joshi's novel Great Eastern Hotel captures a city on the brink of transformation. Sandip and Ruchir discuss why the years 1941–1943 were pivotal, how Calcutta became a crossroads of empire and resistance, and how a diverse cast of characters from elite Bengalis to British expatriates and street pickpockets bring this moment alive.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

In Episode 6, In this powerful episode, we enter the Eighth Revelation of Julian of Norwich—a devastating yet holy vision of Christ's dying. Julian beholds the gradual drying of Christ's body, a slow agony revealing the depths of divine love. She reflects on His thirst—both physical and spiritual—and joins in His suffering through a profound union of compassion. Drawing on Isaiah, the Gospel of John, the Catechism, and the witness of mystics like St. Bridget and St. Teresa of Calcutta, this episode explores the mystery of redemptive suffering. Julian's witness offers not only theological depth but an invitation to gaze upon the Crucified with love and trust.

According to Deborah Baker, author of Charlottesville: An American Story, America has become the Charlottesville of the Unite the Right Rally of August 12, 2017. Baker, who grew up in Charlottesville in the shadow of Jefferson's Monticello, watched in shock as neo-Nazis marched through her hometown in August 2017 with torches and flags. What began as her attempt to understand how such hatred could manifest in a progressive college town became a deeper reckoning with America's buried histories and recurring tragedies. The fascist ideologies that once seemed confined to internet forums and fringe rallies have now, she argues, been institutionalized at the highest levels of government. The warning signs were there in 2017—but too many people, from university administrators to progressive leaders, chose to look away. If we close our eyes, she warns, it won't go away. five key takeaways1. America Has Institutionalized ExtremismWhat began as fringe internet movements and basement trolling has now moved into the mainstream of American politics and government institutions. The ideologies that shocked people in Charlottesville 2017 are now, according to Baker, embedded at the highest levels of power.2. Progressive Institutions Failed to Take the Threat SeriouslyUniversity administrators, mayors, and police chiefs in liberal Charlottesville told citizens to "stay home" and ignore the approaching Unite the Right rally. This pattern of progressive leadership closing their eyes to fascist organizing represents a dangerous institutional failure that continues today.3. White Supremacy Has Always Married Anti-Semitism with Anti-Black RacismThe Nazi flags at Charlottesville weren't separate from the Confederate monuments debate. White supremacist ideology consistently portrays Jews as the puppet masters behind Black civil rights movements, combining European fascism with Southern white supremacy into a unified hateful worldview.4. America's "Buried Histories" Keep RepeatingBaker discovered that Charlottesville had experienced a similar white supremacist rally in the 1950s that had been completely forgotten. This pattern of burying ugly chapters allows the same mistakes to be repeated, as communities fail to learn from their past encounters with organized hate.5. Economic and Political Destabilization Creates Fertile Ground for FascismThe conditions that radicalized figures like Richard Spencer include the "forever wars," the 2008 financial crisis, and the broader betrayal of working-class Americans. These "self-inflicted wounds" by American institutions create the chaos that fascist movements exploit to gain followers.Deborah Baker was born in Charlottesville and grew up in Virginia, Puerto Rico and New England. She attended the University of Virginia and Cambridge University. Her first book, written in college, was Making a Farm: The Life of Robert Bly, published by Beacon Press in 1982. After working as a book editor and publisher, in 1990 she moved to Calcutta where she wrote In Extremis; The Life of Laura Riding. Published by Grove Press and Hamish Hamilton in the UK, it was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 1994. Her third book, A Blue Hand: The Beats in India was published by Penguin Press USA and Penguin India in 2008. In 2008–2009 she was a Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis C. Cullman Center for Writers and Scholars at The New York Public Library. There she researched and wrote The Convert: A Tale of Exile and Extremism, a narrative account of the life of an American convert to Islam. Published by Graywolf and Penguin India, The Convert was a finalist for the 2011 National Book Award in Non-Fiction. The Last Englishmen: Love, War and the End of Empire was published in October 2018. For this book she received a Whiting Creative Non-fiction grant and a Guggenheim fellowship. Charlottesville is her sixth work of narrative non-fiction. She is married to the writer Amitav Ghosh and lives in Brooklyn and Charlottesville.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Ch. 14 - Time Past and Time Present from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner DELHI HOT LIKE A KILN. I wandered through empty streets at midday making final connections. London like a plunge into ice water, only hours later. I stood shivering in the transit lounge, my thin wool shawl wrapped tight around my shoulders, my socks incongruous in Indian sandals, even more incongruous in white pajama clothes, amidst fur and leather coats, heavy sweaters and fat, flushed, liquor-stained faces. I was emaciated by comparison. Crash landing in Boston, hours late. Time sense destroyed. I slept last in Calcutta. A strange wakefulness haunted my body. Alert to ponderous events all around me, I followed my breath as a customs official began pawing through my bag. Suddenly he stopped and handed it back to me with an apologetic smile. I felt a rising thickness in my throat to get beyond that door. She would be waiting. At first she wasn't sure she could, but after letters back and forth, she'd finally agreed. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 34 minutes 47 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Asma Khan is an Indian-born British chef and a social change advocate in the food industry. She joins Google to discuss her book, “Monsoon: Delicious Indian recipes for every day and season,” a masterclass in the flavors of Indian cookery. Originally born in Calcutta, Asma's journey into the culinary world was not straightforward. She initially pursued academia before moving to Cambridge in 1991 to join her husband. Her passion for cooking began mainly to combat homesickness. Asma's culinary career began in earnest in 2012 with a supper club in her home, evolving into a pop-up in a Soho pub and eventually leading to the opening of her restaurant, Darjeeling Express, in June 2017. Her restaurant is known for its unique blend of street food, comfort food from Calcutta, and royal dishes from her Mughlai heritage. The food is cooked by an all-women team who began, like Asma, as home cooks. In addition to her restaurant, Asma gained recognition as the first British chef featured on Netflix's "Chef's Table." Her episode was part of the series' sixth season and nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Documentary section. Business Insider named her number 1 on their 2019 list of the "100 Coolest People in Food and Drink." Asma was also included in TIME 100 as one of the most influential people of 2024.

Hear about travel to Kolkata, India (formerly Calcutta) as the Amateur Traveler talks to Sam Sarkar from Travels with Dr. Sam about this city built by the British East India Company. Why should you go to Kolkata? Sam says, "It's a real hidden secret. This is a city that has grand colonial buildings. It used to be the second city of the British Empire for the longest time. The first US consulate in the world was set up in Kolkata even before Thomas Jefferson was president in the late 17 hundreds. It's a city that has produced six Nobel laureates. There's a lot of art and culture festivals, and outstanding food. So I think there's a lot to see." What Dr. Sam Recommends in Kolkata: 1. Start with European Heritage & Colonial Architecture Walking Tour with Calcutta Walks — Sam's top recommendation for understanding Kolkata's colonial history and European architecture. Highlights include: Victoria Memorial — "British Taj Mahal," the most spectacular building in Kolkata. St. Paul's Cathedral St. John's Church, Kolkata (oldest Anglican church) High Court Building Writers' Building General Post Office, Kolkata Governor's House The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata (oldest continuously operating hotel in Asia — Mark Twain stayed there) TIP: Go on a Sunday or during off-hours for less crowd.

Rav Yosef Chaim (1835-1909), better known by his popular work Ben Ish Chai, was an important leader of the Baghdad Jewish community of the 19th century, whose influence reached across the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Having grown up in the rabbinical aristocracy of Baghdad, he succeeded his father's position in 1859, serving the Jewish community for the next half century. This was primarily through his masterful oratorical skills, which he delivered twice daily, every Shabbos and on special occasions to the entire community. He wrote tens of works on the entire gamut of Torah literature, and financed his own publication costs to have them printed in Jerusalem. He made a historic journey to the Land of Israel in 1869, and at the end of his life inspired the Calcutta based philanthropist Yosef Avraham Shalom to fund the establishment of the famed Porat Yosef yeshiva. His innovative halachic methodology influences the world of Sephardic psak until today.   Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com
