Prof. Kaul will challenge misconceptions that associate Sanskrit with narrow obscurantism, highlighting its vast and varied literary repertoire encompassing virtually all knowledge systems and a multiplicity of voices and visions. She will interrogate modern scholarship's tendency to label Sanskrit as elitist and rarefied, moving towards a greater appreciation of its reach and relevance in early India. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the richness of Sanskrit literature and its significant impact on India's cultural heritage.

Dr. Shweta Kishore and Dr Kunal Ray's Resistance in Indian Documentary Film: Aesthetics, Culture and Practice (Edinburgh UP, 2024) is a unique collection of essays on documentary cinema and practice that brings together multiple modes of scholarly, reflective and autoethnographic writing on documentary by scholars and creative practitioners. It takes a holistic view of documentary culture as a field comprising not only films but practices such as circulation, curation, criticism, and education, that come together to create a particular ecology of resistance. Resistance is conceptualised as a multidimensional phenomenon comprising both documentary representation as well as practices and tangible actions through which people mobilize and adapt documentary for local, community and individual functions. Dr Kunal Ray is a writer and academic. He teaches literature and film at FLAME University, Pune. His writings on art and culture appear in The Hindu, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times amongst other publications. He has co-edited books on song-texts and food cultures in India. He is also the co-founder and co-editor of On Eating - A Multilingual Journal of Food & Eating. Dr Shweta Kishore lectures in Screen and Media at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) University. She is the author of Indian Documentary Film and Filmmakers: Independence in Practice published by Edinburgh University Press in 2018. Her research on documentary theory and practice appears in journals such as Bioscope, Feminist Media Studies, Studies in Documentary Film and Senses of Cinema. She is also a documentary practitioner and curator committed to creating conversations between Indian and international moving image artists and audiences. Priyam Sinha recently graduated with a PhD from the National University of Singapore. Her interdisciplinary academic interests lie at the intersection of film studies, disability studies, production cultures, affect studies, anthropology of the body, creative media industries and cultural studies.

Sea turtle hatcheries are a popular conservation strategy across the world, easily recognised as fenced enclosures on turtle nesting beaches. These enclosures house turtle eggs, relocated from natural nests on the beach, to a more controlled environment that protects them from various threats. Ideally, a hatchery would produce more hatchlings than a natural nest. However, relocating sea turtle eggs is more complex than it seems, with hatchery management being an intensive practice. "When we move eggs, we risk jostling the embryos inside. There's a very narrow window to move eggs safely, ideally within two hours of being laid," explains Dr. Andrea Phillott, a Sea Turtle Biologist from Australia and Professor of Environmental Studies at Flame University, India.And that's just the beginning! In this fourth episode of Sea Turtle Stories, Dr Andrea takes us through the careful considerations in building and running a hatchery, from creating the perfect artificial nest, paying attention to its depth, shape, temperature, and distance from other nests, to assessing even the sand quality. While Dr. Andrea is widely published on various aspects of sea turtle conservation, her most recent research focuses on hatchery management practices in South Asia, making her the ideal expert for this discussion on hatcheries.So join our Host, Dr. Minnie, and Guest Speaker, Dr. Andrea, as they delve into the intricacies of hatchery management and address critical issues, such as the efficacy of hatcheries, their role in a changing climate, protocol on hatchling releases, and more.Links For Additional Reading:Kale, N., & Phillott, A.

In 1818, the East India Company defeated the Maratha confederacy, acquiring vast domains in central and western India. Through coercion if not outright violence, the Company transformed many aspects of India's social, economic, and cultural landscape. This book charts one such shifting landscape-Marathi language literary culture-in order to expand the field of world and comparative literature. Kedar A. Kulkarni describes the way Marathi literary culture, entrenched in performative modes of production and reception, especially balladry and epic storytelling, saw the germination of a robust, script-centric dramatic culture, owing to colonial networks of literary exchange and the newfound wide availability of print technology. However, the process was far from a simple mutation of genre. He demonstrates the upheaval that literary culture underwent as a new class of literati emerged: anthologists, critics, theatre makers, publishers, translators, among many others. And, these people also participated in a global conversation that left its mark on theory in the twentieth century.  Ultimately, World Literature and the Question of Genre in Colonial India: Poetry, Drama, and Print Culture 1790-1890 (Bloomsbury, 2022) situates Marathi literature within contemporary world literature studies and critiques “eurochronology”- the perceived backwardness of colonial and postcolonial locales when compared with literatures produced in Euro-American metropoles. Reading through archives and ephemera, it demonstrates that literary cultures in colonized locales converged with and participated fully in key defining moments of world literature, but also diverged from them to create, simultaneously, a unique literary modernity.

In 1818, the East India Company defeated the Maratha confederacy, acquiring vast domains in central and western India. Through coercion if not outright violence, the Company transformed many aspects of India's social, economic, and cultural landscape. This book charts one such shifting landscape-Marathi language literary culture-in order to expand the field of world and comparative literature. Kedar A. Kulkarni describes the way Marathi literary culture, entrenched in performative modes of production and reception, especially balladry and epic storytelling, saw the germination of a robust, script-centric dramatic culture, owing to colonial networks of literary exchange and the newfound wide availability of print technology. However, the process was far from a simple mutation of genre. He demonstrates the upheaval that literary culture underwent as a new class of literati emerged: anthologists, critics, theatre makers, publishers, translators, among many others.

Alternative ontologies and epistemologies: Is there an Indian way of knowing and theorizing in social sciences? In an “informal essay” (1989), poet, translator, and folklorist A. K. Ramanujam asks an intriguing question, "Is there an Indian way of thinking?” Taking inspiration from the celebrated essay, without any misconception of equivalent competence, I ask, Is there an Indian way of knowing and theorizing in social sciences? Ramanujan's answer was in the affirmative for an imagined India in the deep past but not for the post-colonial India of the present. The subtext of his argument was that in contemporary India, we do not have an Indian way of thinking capable of producing context-free theories with universal applications. Provocatively, Ramanujam suggests there are only Indian experiences but no thought. His analysis suggests that following a violent and subjugating encounter with the west, the Indian (or Vedic) way of thinking—rooted in a logic of chaos, context-dependent nature of truth, and a majestic celebration of ambiguity—was displaced by a bundle of inconsistent and contradictory ontologies and epistemologies. In this talk, I argue for ontological and epistemological pluralism possibilities in context-dependent ways of knowing. A pluralism in thinking gives rise to concepts and associated explications of alternative theories of society, cultures, polities, and economies. Context-dependent alternative understanding and explanations, which in a post-colonial sense challenge the hegemony of Eurocentrism in knowledge production. Using some examples, including from my earlier work on theorizing cultures of protests in Dhandak and Jan Andolan (2014), I discuss an Indian way of knowing and theorizing.

Gandhi and Gender of Fasting: A Webinar by Prof Vinay Lal (11th episode of The India Studies Series by the India Centre, FLAME University) Can the tradition of fasting have any relation to the genders at large? Whenever we think of the tradition of fasting, we are reminded of Mahatma Gandhi, the modern master of fasting who gained attention through his 15 odd major public fasts. Prof. Vinay Lal of the UCLA in his webinar on “Gandhi and the gender of fasting” discusses how Gandhi's refusal of being bound by the general and rigid ethics, sociology, and philosophy surrounding the tradition of fasting led to the radicalization and feminization of public sphere. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pankaj-jain/support

What is a recipe? A simple question... with many answers. It could be a set of instructions on how to make a dish – but also so much more. Recipes can reveal how we lived in the past, and how we are living today. They are part of our sense of identity, belonging and loss and they are portals we can use to travel to different cultures. This week, Ruth Alexander speaks to three recipe collectors in India, Ghana and the USA to find out why they are preserving their nation's recipes. What can you learn by documenting these culinary guides? How do you even capture a recipe that has never been written down? And what is at stake if they are lost? (Picture: Cookbook with utensils.

Vallabh Bhanshali is a visionary, a businessman, a devoted Vipassana meditator and a philanthropist. He co-founded ENAM securities, a highly reputed investment banking and investment group. ENAM has played a critical role in the growth story of multiple Indian corporations which went on to become the crown jewels of Indian economy -- such as Infosys, Reliance, Sterlite, Zee, Inox, Jindal, Thermax, etc. For his unique ability to solve complex problems, he came to be known as “investment banker of the first and the last resort”. For Vallabh-bhai, however, the real jewel was never his wealth or even his fame, but it was his search for the “truth” within. At 19, he chanced upon Acharya Vinoba Bhave’s Talks on Gita, and in his own words “half-way through the book, my life was completely changed.” He decided to live by a clear set of principles: Be passionate about what you do, embrace change and stand firm when the going gets tough. “I was practicing as an accountant and I realized that I may be academically brilliant, but my heart was not in it. So, I just walked out of my practice not knowing what I was going to do next.” Illustrating his dedication to stand firm and show up for a client even in troubled times, Bhanshali recalls the IPO of Air Deccan, India’s first low-cost airline. “Captain Gopinath, the founder of the new airlines, appointed five bankers to raise capital in order to make Air Deccan fly. Three of them scooted when they realized that things were not as solid as they appeared. The other two couldn’t help because they had invested in the company. But I said, ‘Captain, I will hold your hand. I am not going to leave you’. Had I also left, the airline would have stopped in the next seven days.” In the world of finance which is often associated with greed and selfishness, Mr. Bhanshali is a beacon of integrity who leads with values, clarity, modesty and sincere concern for the wellbeing of others. But how did a “shy and diffident kid” – that’s how he describes himself as a child – become this immensely successful and highly renowned entrepreneur who constantly strives to make this world a better place? Gladly, Mr. Bhanshali is excited to share his ‘secret sauce’: Inner Transformation. His 30 year long spiritual journey took him to many shores, from Eastern Philosophy to Western Philosophy. Another pivotal point in his search was when he found Vipassana Meditation. In 1989, at the age of 37, he attended his first course and ever since it has been “one blissful journey”. Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by the Buddha more than 2500 years ago. Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced by disciplined attention to your own breath. Once the transformation is complete, you are liberated from mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion. Mr. Bhanshali sees meditation as an evolutionary process for mankind. “Having explored the external world and reaching its threshold, people are looking for greater peace, greater meaning, greater understanding.” Through ardently practicing Vipassana for many years, he became deeply transformed. He sees his body and his consciousness as part of a bigger system and feels aligned with the universe. “Once you are aligned, all the happiness just flows. You don’t worry too much, you just do what you think is right.  Life becomes so easy, it’s wonderful.” Strongly committed to support the Vipassana movement, he has not only encouraged his family, friends and colleagues to meditate regularly but he is also Trustee and former Chairman of the Global Vipassana Foundation. He was a Trustee of the Bombay Stock Exchange and has served on several policy making & advisory committees of the Government and other regulatory bodies. He is also the founder Director of FLAME University – India’s innovative Liberal Arts University. He is the founder and chief mentor of Desh Apnayen Sahayog Foundation which is focused on instilling a sense of active citizenship amongst school and college students. The Foundation has also launched TRUTHtalks, an innovative initiative to inspire people to raise the Truth Quotient in their lives and make our society more happy, trustworthy and productive.  Join us in conversation with this inspiring visionary, truth-seeker and changemaker!

Janaki Bakhle's book Two Men and Music: Nationalism in the Making of an Indian Classical Tradition (Oxford UP, 2005) is a provocative account of the development of modern national culture in India using classical music as a case study. The author demonstrates how the emergence of an “Indian” cultural tradition reflected colonial and exclusionary practices, particularly the exclusion of Muslims by the Brahmanic elite, which occurred despite the fact that Muslims were the major practitioners of the Indian music that was installed as a “Hindu” national tradition. This book lays bare how a nation's imaginings—from politics to culture—reflect rather than transform societal divisions.

This book lays bare how a nation's imaginings—from politics to culture—reflect rather than transform societal divisions. Dr. Pankaj Jain is a Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at FLAME University, where he is heading the Indic Studies Initiative in the FLAME School of Liberal Education.

Jainism evokes images of monks wearing face-masks to protect insects and mico-organisms from being inhaled. Or of Jains sweeping the ground in front of them to ensure that living creatures are not inadvertently crushed: a practice of non-violence so radical as to defy easy comprehension. Yet for all its apparent exoticism, Jainism is still little understood in the West. What is this mysterious philosophy which originated in the 6th century BCE, whose absolute requirement is vegetarianism, and which now commands a following of four million adherents both in its native India and diaspora communities across the globe?  In Jainism: An Introduction (I. B. Tauris, 2009), Long makes an ancient tradition fully intelligible to the modern reader. Plunging back more than two and a half millennia, to the plains of northern India and the life of a prince who - much like the Buddha - gave up a life of luxury to pursue enlightenment, Long traces the history of the Jain community from founding sage Mahavira to the present day. He explores asceticism, worship, the life of the Jain layperson, relations between Jainism and other Indic traditions, the Jain philosophy of relativity, and the implications of Jain ideals for the contemporary world. The book presents Jainism in a way that is authentic and engaging to specialists and non-specialists alike.
