He placed the letter in front of her.Hi: देविका ने चिट्ठी को पढ़ा और उसकी आँखों में नमी आ गई।En: Devika read the letter and her eyes welled up.Hi: आरव ने उसके चेहरे को देखा, जिसमें एक अजीब सी शांति थी।En: Aarav saw a peculiar peace on her face.Hi: उसने कहा, "शुक्रिया, आरव, तुमने मुझे ये बताया।En: She said, "Thank you, Aarav, for telling me.Hi: मुझे लगा था तुम बदल जाओगे पर तुमने मेरी बात सुनी।"En: I thought you would change, but you listened to me."Hi: उस दिन के बाद, देविका ने आरव को विश्वास में लिया।En: After that day, Devika trusted Aarav.Hi: उसने अपने दिल की बातें आरव से साझा कीं।En: She shared her heartfelt matters with him.Hi: आरव ने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था कि उसका यह कदम उन्हें इस तरह से करीब ले आएगा।En: Aarav never imagined that this step would bring them so close.Hi: आरव ने सीखा कि ईमानदारी और हिम्मत से अगर दिल की बात कही जाए, तो रिश्ते बनते हैं।En: Aarav learned that if you speak your heart with honesty and courage, relationships are formed.Hi: देविका ने महसूस किया कि कमजोरियाँ साझा करने से इंसान हल्का महसूस करता है।En: Devika realized that sharing vulnerabilities makes one feel lighter.Hi: वह दोनों इंडिया गेट की छांव में अपने अच्छे भविष्य की ओर बढ़े।En: Both of them moved towards a bright future under the shade of India Gate.

Anaya asked politely.Hi: देविका मुस्कुराई, "बिल्कुल, हुमायूँ का मकबरा केवल एक सम्राट की कब्र नहीं है। यह एक भरोसा भी है—यादों का खूबसूरत सफर।"En: Devika smiled, "Absolutely, Humayun's Tomb is not just the grave of an emperor. It's also a testament�a beautiful journey of memories."Hi: अनया सुनते-सुनते अपनी दादी की कहानियाँ याद कर रही थी।En: As Anaya listened, she recalled her grandmother's stories.Hi: तभी रोहन अपने कैमरे के साथ उनके पास आ पहुँचा।En: Just then, Rohan approached them with his camera.Hi: "आपको कुछ विशेष ढूंढ़ना है, क्या?" उसने अपना कैमरा मोड़कर पूछा।En: "Are you looking for something specific?" he asked, readjusting his camera.Hi: अनया ने बताया कि उसके परिवार का अतीत इस जगह से जुड़ा हुआ है।En: Anaya explained that her family's past was connected to this place.Hi: तीनों मिलकर मकबरे के अपरिचित कोनों की ओर बढ़े।En: Together, the trio ventured into the tomb's unfamiliar corners.Hi: अचानक, रोहन की नजर एक छोटे से शिला-लेख पर पड़ी, जिसे किसी ने गौर से नहीं देखा था।En: Suddenly, Rohan spotted a small inscription that no one else seemed to have noticed.Hi: वहाँ एक नाम था—अनया की दादी से मिलता-जुलता।En: There was a name—similar to her grandmother's.Hi: वह नाम उनके बुजुर्गों के योगदान की एक अनमोल तस्वीर था।En: That name was a precious glimpse into her ancestors' contributions.Hi: अनया की आँखों में चमक आ गई।En: Anaya's eyes lit up.Hi: यह उसके तलाश का अंत था।En: It was the end of her quest.Hi: "धन्यवाद," अनया ने भावुक स्वर में कहा।En: "Thank you," Anaya said emotionally.Hi: "मैंने अपने इतिहास का अंश पा लिया है।"En: "I have found a part of my history."Hi: इस खोज ने उसे अपनी जड़ों से जुड़ने का एहसास दिलाया।En: This discovery gave her a sense of connection to her roots.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि भले इतिहास पर धूल जम जाए, पर कहानियों में हमेशा जीवन रहती है।En: She realized that although dust might settle on history, stories always remain alive.Hi: और इसी के साथ, उसका मकबरा यात्रा, एक नए उत्साह और संतोष के साथ समाप्त हुई।En: And with that, her journey at the tomb concluded with renewed enthusiasm and contentment.

In ihrem Debütroman "Die rastlosen Jahre" (Originaltitel: Quarterlife) beschreibt Devika Rege das Mumbai nach einer historischen Wahl aus der Sicht von drei jungen Menschen. Naren kehrt nach Jahren an der Wall Street in ein Indien zurück, das ihm zugleich vertraut und fremd geworden ist. Amanda arbeitet in einem Slum für eine internationale NGO. Rohit, Narens Bruder, sucht nach Zugehörigkeit und gerät zunehmend in den Sog des erstarkenden Hindu-Nationalismus. Was die drei verbindet, sind Freundschaft, Loyalität und Begehren - und die Erfahrung, dass politische Überzeugungen immer stärker in ihr privates Leben eingreifen und vertraute Bindungen verändern. Nadine Kreuzahler stellt das Buch vor.

Decolonization has long been debated across the social sciences, but the economics discipline has so far avoided such critical engagement. Decolonizing Economics: An Introduction (Polity, 2024) provides a much-needed intervention.Dutt, Alves, Kesar, and Kvangraven uncover the deeply Eurocentric foundations that shape how economists study the world today. These have rendered the discipline ill-equipped to tackle critical questions, such as structural racism, uneven development, the climate crisis, labour relations, and how structural power shapes economic outcomes. Decolonizing economics entails challenging the norms of neutrality and objectivity that economists claim to speak from, while fostering alternative ways of understanding the economy that take seriously structural power relations and contemporary processes of economic development. Readers will come to understand the political stakes of decolonization and the wide range of scholarship that already exists that can help us grasp economics from non-Eurocentric perspectives. Through such scholarship, we can gain an enriched understanding of capitalism and its relationship to exploitation, colonialism, and racialization. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we sit down with Devica Ranade, founder of Ecology Explained, to explore the critical role of science communication in bridging the gap between ecological research and public understanding. Trained as a behavioral ecologist with extensive field experience—from studying tadpole foraging behavior in India to giraffe social dynamics and meerkat systems in South Africa—Devica brings a rare combination of scientific depth and communication clarity to the conservation space.We dive into her journey from a curious teenager discovering birds in Amboli to pursuing a PhD at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc, where she studied female-female competition in peninsular rock agamas. The conversation then shifts to a pivotal realization during her academic career: that much of the exciting and impactful work being done in ecology remains inaccessible to the broader public. This insight led to the creation of Ecology Explained, a platform dedicated to simplifying complex ecological research into engaging, digestible formats for diverse audiences.Devica shares how Ecology Explained has evolved over time—from long-form videos to social media carousels and short-form reels—driven both by changing audience preferences and platform algorithms. We discuss the realities of science communication today, including the challenges of audience retention, algorithm dependency, and the persistent lack of funding in the field. Despite these constraints, her work has had tangible impact, inspiring students to pursue ecology and even shaping academic projects and career paths.The episode also explores her role at the Nature Conservation Foundation, where she works on education and public engagement, connecting people—from school students to researchers—with nature through workshops, resources, and experiential learning. We unpack systemic gaps in environmental education in India, including the lack of trained educators and the limitations of passive, classroom-based learning. Devika makes a compelling case for activity-based, immersive nature education as a prerequisite for meaningful conservation action.Finally, we discuss the role of AI and technology in shaping how people engage with nature—its potential as a powerful tool for learning and identification, but also the risks of misinformation and increasing disconnection from the natural world.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Unveiling Mohenjo-daro: Colors of History's Mystery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-03-30-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: रंगों का मौसम आ पहुँचा था।En: The season of colors had arrived.Hi: मोहनजोदड़ो के विस्तार में बिखरे प्राचीन पत्थर और धूल भरी राहें होली के रंगों से सराबोर थीं।En: The ancient stones scattered through the expanse of Mohenjo-daro and the dusty paths were drenched in the colors of Holi.Hi: यहां आने वाले लोगों की हर सांस में इतिहास की फुसफुसाहट गूंज रही थी।En: Every breath of the visitors echoed with the whispers of history.Hi: इसी भ्रमण में आर्यन, मीरा, और देविका अपने रोमांचक पुरातात्विक अन्वेषण पर निकल पड़े थे।En: In this exploration, Aryan, Meera, and Devika embarked on their thrilling archaeological adventure.Hi: आर्यन, एक जुनूनी पुरातत्वविद, जो एक अद्वितीय खोज कर अपने को सिद्ध करना चाहता था।En: Aryan, an enthusiastic archaeologist, wanted to prove himself with a unique discovery.Hi: उसके अंदर एक गुप्त संघर्ष था—अपने गुरु को अपना प्रमाण देने का दबाव।En: He had a secret struggle within—pressure to prove himself to his mentor.Hi: मीरा, संवेदनशील इतिहासकार, अपने समय की प्राचीन कथाओं को जीवित रखना चाहती थी।En: Meera, a sensitive historian, wanted to keep the ancient tales of her time alive.Hi: और देविका, जो अपनी कला के माध्यम से अतीत की कहानियों को वर्तमान में लाना चाहती थी, अपनी कल्पना को चित्रित कर रही थी।En: And Devika, who wanted to bring past stories to the present through her art, was painting her imagination.Hi: वसंत का मौसम था।En: It was the season of spring.Hi: फसलें लहलहा रही थीं, और हवाओं में होली की खुशबू थी।En: Crops were flourishing, and the scent of Holi filled the air.Hi: वे तीनों मोहनजोदड़ो के खंडहरों के बीच छिपे इतिहास को खोजने का प्रयास कर रहे थे।En: The three of them were attempting to uncover hidden history among the ruins of Mohenjo-daro.Hi: आर्यन को एक पुराना नक्शा मिला, जिस पर कुछ रहस्यमयी चिह्न बने हुए थे।En: Aryan found an old map with some mysterious symbols.Hi: यह उस दिशा की ओर इशारा कर रहा था, जहां वे कभी नहीं गए थे।En: It pointed towards a direction they had never ventured before.Hi: आर्यन ने प्रस्ताव किया कि वे अपनी वैज्ञानिक विधियों को छोड़कर अपने अंत:करण की दिशा में जाएं।En: Aryan proposed that they abandon their scientific methods and follow the direction of their intuition.Hi: मीरा और देविका ने उसकी बात को सुना, लेकिन आर्यन की सोच से वे कुछ सशंकित थीं।En: Meera and Devika listened to him, but they were somewhat skeptical of Aryan's thinking.Hi: फिर भी, वे उसके पीछे चल पड़ीं।En: Yet, they followed him.Hi: भारी पत्थरों और सरसराती सांपों के बीच, वे एक गुफा में पहुँचे।En: Amidst heavy stones and rustling snakes, they reached a cave.Hi: वहां कुछ ऐसा था जिसने आर्यन को रोक दिया।En: There was something there that stopped Aryan.Hi: उसकी आँखों में अजीब सी चमक थी।En: His eyes had a peculiar gleam.Hi: वह समझ गया था कि यहां कुछ महत्वपूर्ण है।En: He realized that there was something significant here.Hi: कुछ खुदाई के बाद, उन्हें एक छिपा हुआ कक्ष मिला, जिसमें एक बड़ा मूर्तिपुंज था और उसके चारों ओर प्रसंगवशित्र चित्र बने थे।En: After some excavation, they found a hidden chamber, which housed a large idol surrounded by contextual paintings.Hi: होली के रंगों और खुसबू के बीच गर्जनाओं की गूँज उठी।En: Amidst the colors and fragrance of Holi, echoes of roaring filled the air.Hi: यह एक ऐसा अतुलनीय नग था जो विगत और वर्तमान को जोड़ता था।En: It was a unique link connecting the past and the present.Hi: आर्यन ने पाया कि वह अतीत की एक संदेशवाहक मूर्ति है जो मिलकर मानव एकता का प्रतीक थी।En: Aryan discovered that it was a messenger idol from the past symbolizing human unity.Hi: उसमें साझा उत्सव और सांस्कृतिक संबंधों की झलक थी।En: It reflected shared festivals and cultural connections.Hi: इस खोज ने आर्यन को यह सिखाया कि सिर्फ विज्ञान ही नहीं, अंत:करण और सहयोग भीं मूल्यवान हैं।En: This discovery taught Aryan that not only science, but intuition and collaboration are also valuable.Hi: उसे अपनी क्षमताओं पर भरोसा हुआ।En: He gained confidence in his abilities.Hi: मीरा और देविका ने उसके इस आत्मविश्वास को सराहा।En: Meera and Devika appreciated his newfound confidence.Hi: उनकी टीम ने मिलकर अपनी प्रणाली और विचारों को साझा किया, और यह खोज भविष्य के लिए एक मिशाल बन गई।En: Their team combined their systems and ideas, and this discovery became a milestone for the future.Hi: आर्यन को एहसास हुआ कि इतिहास के छुपे खजाने मात्र खोज ही नहीं, साझा अनुभव भी है।En: Aryan realized that the hidden treasures of history are not only about discovery but also shared experiences.Hi: उनकी कहानी ने अतीत की कहानियों में वर्तमान की ऊर्जा भरी, और यह उस समय की रंगीन याद बन गई।En: Their story breathed present energy into past tales, and it became a colorful memory of that time.

Ecological and political instability have time and again emerged as catalysts for risky development projects along India's south-west coastline. In An Encroaching Sea: Nature, Sovereignty and Development at the Edge of British India, 1860-1950 (Cambridge UP, 2024) Devika Shankar probes this complicated relationship between crisis and development through a focus on a port development project executed in Cochin in the first quarter of the twentieth century amidst significant political and ecological uncertainty. While ecological concerns were triggered by increasing coastal erosion, a political crisis was precipitated by a neighbouring princely state's unprecedented attempt to extend its sovereignty over the British port. This integrative environmental, legal, and political history brings together the history of British India and the princely states to show how these anxieties ultimately paved the way for an ambitious port development project in the final years of colonial rule. In the process it deepens our understanding of environmental transformations and development in modern South Asia and the uneven nature of colonial sovereignty.

At this year's Locarno Film Festival, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish moderated a conversation between the filmmakers Miguel Gomes and Alexandre Koberidze. The talk took place as part of the Future of Reality conference at the festival, organized by Locarno Factory and Università della Svizzera italiana, and the subject of the conversation was “the reality of the film set.” What is the daily experience behind making transcendent cinema? What are the tactical and interpersonal challenges of orchestrating resources and labor, all in pursuit of a singular artistic vision? Devika explored these questions with the two directors, who reflected on the making of their most recent films—last year's Grand Tour for Gomes, and Dry Leaf, which premiered at this year's festival, for Koberidze.  Please note that the audio quality isn't up to our usual standards due to technical problems during the recording.

From July 4 to July 8, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish presented a series at the Brooklyn Academy of Music called Let Them Cook: Cinema of the Rice Cooker, which spotlit movies where the humble household appliance takes on a poetics and pragmatism uniquely suited to the screen. Some of the films in the series included Payal Kapadia's All We Imagine as Light (2024), Claire Denis's 35 Shots of Rum (2008), Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (2000), Raymond Yip's Sixty Million Dollar Man (2005), Yasujiro Ozu's Good Morning (1959), and Bong Joon Ho's Incoherence (1994).  After a screening of Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill (1967)—which follows a yakuza assassin with a fetish for the smell of cooking rice—Devika recorded a panel discussion with film scholar and critic Phoebe Chen, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Bedatri Datta Choudhury, and Bon Appétit's Joseph Hernandez about the cinematic appeal of the rice cooker.

During the 2024 New York Film Festival, Film Comment's Devika Girish had the chance to chat with Julianne Moore, one of the great American actresses of the last three decades and more. She was at the festival for the premiere of The Room Next Door, the first English-language feature film by Pedro Almodóvar, which stars Moore as a writer in New York who reconnects with an old friend, now in the late stages of cancer, played by Tilda Swinton. The friend makes a strange request of Moore's character: to give her company in a house in upstate New York where she plans to take her own life using a euthanasia pill. Almodóvar's film unfolds like a chamber drama, honing in on the awkward but tender companionship of two women in an absurd and dark situation, as they try to figure out how to enjoy the day-to-day of their togetherness while anticipating death. The Room Next Door hinges on its lead performances, and Moore and Swinton rise to the task with luminous turns that imbue the beautifully designed, fantasy world of Almodovar's film with a rough-edged, piercing emotional realism. Devika's conversation with Moore delves into the challenge of inhabiting the unreal worlds of Almodóvar with realism, as well as Moore's relationship with Swinton, how she acts with her voice, and whether it's difficult to play a good person in the movies.

Early August is usually something of a lull in the film calendar, but this year, at least in New York City, it's proved to be a goldmine—particularly for repertory programming. We had planned to record a single episode of our Rep Report series this week, but there was so much good stuff out there that we ended up recording three different conversations about three different programs, which we'll be sharing over the next few days. Stay tuned!  On today's episode, Jed Rapfogel, film programmer at Anthology Film Archives, joins Film Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute to discuss Verbatim, a new film series he's put together at the famed New York City theater. Verbatim features an exciting and wide-ranging lineup of titles, spanning features, shorts, experimental films, and made-for-TV titles that are all united by one theme: each of them makes verbatim use of a real-life transcript—be it a court document, a journalistic interview, a letter, or something else. Jed, Clint, and Devika share some of the highlights of the series, including James N. Kienitz Wilkins's Public Hearing (2012), which uses the transcript of a municipal town-hall about the expansion of a Walmart, James Benning's Landscape Suicide (1986), which recreates interviews with a pair of killers, and Elisabeth Subrin's short film, Maria Schneider, 1983 (2022), which offers three different riffs on an archival television interview with the titular actress. Verbatim runs at Anthology Film Archives through August 13. For interested viewers outside of New York City, check out filmcomment.com for streaming links to some of the featured films.

Every year, Film at Lincoln Center honors a luminary of the film industry with the Chaplin Award. This year's honoree is a beloved screen icon: the Dude, the Starman, the legend—Jeff Bridges. In advance of the 49th Chaplin Award Gala, taking place on April 29, Devika sat down with Bridges for a look back at the actor's long career. Taking inspiration from a painting Bridges made many years ago, titled Jeff Makes a Decision, which depicts him as a stick figure navigating a river full of whirlpools, their conversation touched upon several of Bridges's iconic roles—The Last Picture Show, Tron, Crazy Heart, and more—and how the actor ended up in those movies, often in spite of himself. Bridges also discussed the lasting influence his parents, both actors, have had on him; some of the crazy on-set stories behind his most memorable performances; and the television shows he is currently enjoying.
