I vårens siste installasjon av bokklubben hvor vi leser politiske selvbiografier tar vi for oss to ruvende skikkelser fra det indiske subkontinentet; Benazir Bhutto og Indira Gandhi. Som henholdsvis de første kvinnelige statsministerne i Pakistan og India markerer disse damene seg i et samfunn og politisk miljø reservert for menn, og deres liv og virke sammenfaller på mange områder. (For å ikke nevne død).Med utgangspunkt i selvbiografiene "Daughter of Destiny" av Bhutto og "My Truth" av Gandhi diskuterer og sammenligner vi damenes politiske reise, forhold til religion, og rolle i de politiske dynastiene som vi i dag kjenner som "The Bhuttos" og "The Gandhis." I studio: Erik Løveid, Karen Nitoiu, og Tayyeb Ahmad (teknikk). God Lytt!

Om du vill att din kropp ska bli starkare behöver du träna den. Detsamma gäller för ditt sinne. Mental träning är en systematisk metod för att få bättre mental kondition och starkare mentala muskler. Prenumerera på nyhetsbrevet om du vill ha gratisresurser för att komma igång med mental träning: www.monkeymindset.se Det här är en nyinspelning av ett tidigare avsnitt av Monkey mindset. Utskrift av avsnittet: Välkommen till Monkey mindset, jag heter Daniel Sjöstedt. I det här avsnittet kommer jag att prata en del om mental träning. Det finns en historia om hur Mahatma Gandhi alltid insisterade på att han skulle ha en timme avsatt för meditation varje dag. Och Gandhi verkade under första halvan av 1900-talet, han var en indisk politiker och aktivist som kämpade för mänskliga rättigheter, han förespråkade icke-våld och han ledde Indiens kamp för självständighet gentemot Storbritannien. I alla fall, när Gandhis schema blev för fullt sa hans medhjälpare till honom att han nu hade så mycket att göra att det inte längre var möjligt att lägga en hel timme på meditation. Gandhis ska då ha svarat "om jag har så mycket att göra är det bäst att jag från och med nu lägger två timmar per dag på meditation". Gandhis resonemang här kan ju tyckas vara bakvänt men när man tänker efter lite så är det logiskt. När kraven ökar behöver vi ta hänsyn till det och se till så att vi är tillräckligt starka för att klara av dem. Det borde vara självklart. Om vi har en maskin i en verkstad som ska klara stora påfrestningar behöver vi ju vara säkra på att den klarar av kraven, innan vi belastar den. Och om maskinen sedan ska kunna klara av ännu mer är det givet att maskinens prestanda behöver förbättras. Och vi behöver kontrollera att den är hel och se till att sköta underhållet. Samma sak med vår egen fysik. Om du ska prestera fysiskt bygger du först upp din kropp. Ingen som åker Vasaloppet räknar med att konditionen ska komma under själva loppet. Utan då ser du till att du är stark nog att kunna avsluta loppet redan innan du ställer dig på startlinjen. Och om du tränar trots att du är skadad eller om du inte vilar när du är sliten, så är risken stor att påfrestningen du utsätter kroppen för, bryter ner i stället för att bygga upp. Det är logiskt och självklart att det är så. När det gäller vår mentala styrka och vår mentala prestation, tänker vi underligt nog inte så. I alla fall inte de flesta av oss Många upplever att den mentala belastningen ökar. Och att fler och fler far illa. Och lite eller inget, tyder på att den här utvecklingen ska stanna av eller vändas. Ändå så görs väldigt lite för att träna upp de förmågor som behövs för att klara av de här förändringarna. När du får mer att göra och mer att tänka på är det ingen som först ser till att du är stark nog, eller har verktygen som krävs, för att klara av dem. Du förväntas anpassa dig under tiden. Och tyvärr är det inte många av oss som är som Gandhi, som har styrkan och kunskapen säga ifrån och först skapa förutsättningarna för att kunna klara av den här högre belastningen. Det är lätt att se när du inte klarar av någonting fysiskt. Benen viker sig. Lungorna säger ifrån. I värsta fall går saker i din kropp sönder. Med mental påfrestning är det annorlunda. Stress kommer krypande. Den är möjlig att dölja, åtminstone ett tag, åtminstone inför andra. Du kan hålla masken på jobbet och bryta ihop när du kommer hem. Eller bara köra på … dag efter dag efter dag .. tills vi plötsligt en dag inte kan sluta gråta eller inte kan ta oss ur sängen. Det händer. Överallt. Varje dag. Vanligtvis är det först nu du får hjälp för att bygga upp din mentala styrka. När du i någon mån har kraschat. När du är långt nere på minus får du hjälp att komma tillbaka upp till noll. Men noll räcker inte. Om du går tillbaka till samma mentala påfrestning som tidigare, vilket ju är troligt att du kommer att göra… … så riskerar du att återigen hamna där du hamnade förra gången. Inom mental träning jobbar vi med att bygga upp styrkan innan du utsätts för påfrestningarna. Vi använder metoder och verktyg som gör att du, om vi ska forsätta de här liknelserna med en maskin, kan klara mer belastning men fortfarande fungera lika bra eller till och med bättre. Att du, när du står på startlinjen, är tillräckligt stark för att klara av dem påfrestningar som väntar. Min approach till det här ämnet – mental träning – är att mental styrka, precis som fysisk styrka, är en träningssak. När man hör begreppet mental träning så tänker nog många automatiskt på elitidrott. Kanske har man hört någon sportstjärna prata om hur viktigt den mentala träningen har varit för deras framgångar eller så är det någon som har misslyckats i ett stort mästerskap som nu tar in en mental tränare för att kunna bli bäst när det gäller. Och mental träning är väldigt stort inom idrotten. Ofta är det det just den mentala biten som är skillnaden i världstoppen. Men mental träning är så mycket mer än att prestera som bäst när det gäller som mest. Det är någonting alla kan ha stor nytta av och effekterna av mental träning genomsyrar hela livet. Det är någonting du har med dig i vardagen. Om jag ska förklara det så enkelt jag bara kan så handlar det om att träningen gör så att dina tankar, dina känslor och dina inre bilder jobbar för att hjälpa dig i livet, istället för att stjälpa dig. Att det som sker inom dig, jobbar för dig. För många av oss är det precis tvärtom. Åtminstone när det bränner till. Våra tankar och känslor hindrar oss från att fungera så bra som möjligt. Och det kan leda till olika grader av tråkigheter. En stor del av den mentala träningen handlar om att må bättre. Då pratar jag om faktorer som stress och sömn och självkänsla och hur du ser på livet. För om du mår bättre så fungerar du bättre och när du fungerar bättre så ger du dig själv förutsättningarna som behövs, kom ihåg det här med Gandhi, att också prestera bättre. Och egentligen så är det inget nytt, inga revolutionerande, jag tror att många intuitivt vet de här sakerna. Men skillnaden på att till exempel läsa en bok eller lyssna på en föreläsning och att ägna sig åt mental träning är att inom den mentala träningen så nöjer vi oss inte med att veta vad vi borde göra och hur vi borde tänka. Vi tränar på det. Tränar på precis samma sätt som en löpare behöver träna löpning för att bli bättre. Så vi avsätter tid där vi fokuserar på att bli just bättre. Mentalt starkare. Det kräver inte så mycket tid men om du lägger en kvart om dagen så kommer du ganska snabbt att märka positiva resultat vad gäller din upplevda livskvalitet. Och den mest grundläggande delen av mental träning sker med ljudfiler. För enkelhetens skull kan man säga att det är ungefär som en guidad meditation. Lars Eric Unestål som är den mentala träningens gudfader har släppt många sådana här ljudband. De är jättebra och var du kan köpa dem är lätt att hitta om du googlar. Dom har till och med en app att ladda ner. Det finns andra som också har gjort sådana här ljudfiler. Jag har till och med gjort det och om du vill testa så är kan du gå in på min hemsida monkeymindset.se och där hittar du både ljudfiler och instruktioner som hjälper att komma igång. Det kostar inget. Så om du vill kan du börja med det här redan idag. Du kan ge det en vecka och se vad som händer. Det första du jobbar med är avslappning, att lära dig slappna av riktigt ordentligt. Det är grunden i mental träning och framöver kommer jag att pratat mer om varför det är så viktigt. Det var allt för den här gången. Tack för att du har lyssnat.

1. Congress is caught in a big crisis, being unable to decide between Siddaramaih and D K Shivakumar --after impressive win in Karnataka; Shivakumar camp is firm that he should be given the opportunity to head the government as he had revived the party organisation at a time when it was hit by defections and desertions. His supporters also pointed out that Shivakumar enjoyed the backing of powerful caste groups such as the Vokkaligas and Lingayats. They also argued that Siddaramaiah's emphasis on personality-based politics did not make him a team player, and alleged that the supporters of the former Chief Minister had sabotaged the election of former KPCC chief G. Parameshwar from Koratagere in 2013. However, supporters of Siddaramaiah argued that he not only enjoyed the support of the majority of the newly elected MLAs but is also responsible for Congress' mass outreach among AHINDAs, an acronym for the rainbow coalition of religious minorities, Other Backward Classes and Dalits. 2. In Rajasthan, young Sachin Pilot, then Congress chief in the state, was seen to have led the party to victory in 2018 but the Gandhis, as seen often, chose the old guard, in Ashok Gehlot, for the CM's chair. It was a decision that has kept the Rajasthan Congress divided into two, though unequal, groups. Pilot mounted a mini-revolt against the party but couldn't pull off his coup in 2021 because Gehlot had the numbers. However, Gehlot's revolt in 2022 was by no means mini: he said a defiant no to becoming the Congress national president, a one-stone-two-birds ploy of the Gandhis aimed at clearing up Rajasthan for Pilot. A similar conundrum was seen in Punjab where Navjot Singh Sidhu, as state party chief, was leading the 2022 assembly election while his bªte noire, Amarinder Singh, was the CM. On the eve of the polls, the Congress played the Dalit card by making Charanjit Singh Channi the chief minister but the Amarinder-Sidhu and anti-incumbency mess was too much to be cleared by such last-minute gimmicks. The AAP won the border state, one more step toward replacing the grand old party as India's potent opposition force. 3. Will Karnataka set the political mood for 2024 Lok Sabha elections? The results of the Karnataka Assembly elections has given the much-needed momentum to the entire Opposition camp--not just the Congress but other parties who believe that the recent crushing defeat to the BJP juggernaut has proved that no citadel is completely impregnable and no leader is invincible.The fact of the matter is BJP did not do well in Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh in 2018 Assembly elections but it still swept the four states in 2019 Lok Sabha elections #Karnataka #siddaramaiah #dkshivakumar #BJP #Congress #RajasthanElection #MadhyaPradeshElection #chattisgarhElection #Election2023 #SachinPilot #AshokGehlot #RahulGandhi #SoniaGandhi #PriyankaGandhi

What do you need to let go of?  It's an easy question to ask, but it can be an awfully tough one to answer. In this episode, I'll share how an answer to this question revealed itself to me recently and the impact it's had. I hope my experience will inspire you to begin seeking answers to this question, too.     Stopped in My Tracks “I submit.”  The words startled me. They were my words, but they hadn't come out of my mouth. They weren't the expression of a thought in my head or from my heart either, exactly.  In hindsight, it seems most accurate to say that the words came from what I might call my spirit.  Somewhere deeper within me than I'm able to access consciously, from some part of me that interacts with the transcendent.  I was on one of my habitual walks down County Road 44 here in Steamboat Springs, CO. It's a stretch of road by a river running through ranch land. It's a stretch of road that has a meditative quality to me–not too much scenery to distract but not so little as to make it uninteresting. Few cars, very few people. Just me, the road, the breeze, the river, occasional cows, and sometimes the eerily prehistoric call of the sandhill crane couple that frequents the fields along the road.  On this particular walk, I was listening to the final cut of episode 63, Suffering, Surrender, and the Leap of Faith: How to Find Freedom on the Other Side of Letting Go to make sure it was ready to release in a few days. Carrie Chown's astounding tale of three seismic surrenders and the freedom she's found on the other side of letting go was washing over me when my spirit uttered those unexpected words, as if in response to Carrie's story, and stopped me in my tracks.  “I submit.”    Submit to…? I knew in that moment that something profound had shifted within me. In that instant, I also knew why my spirit spoke those words, specifically.  For a number of weeks leading up to that experience on County Road 44 among the cows and cranes and gurgles of the river, I'd begun to be aware of a tight-fisted, clinchy feeling–like I had a death-grip on something. I was unwilling or unable to let go of it. I wasn't at all clear on what the “it” was that I was clinging to so tenaciously. Judging simply by the negative quality of the emotions that it produced, though, it WAS clear that clinging to it wasn't doing me any good.  So, I'd begun to ask God a simple question: What do I need to let go of?  I repeated the question whenever it came to mind, holding the lines of communication open, so to speak, and awaiting a response.  “I submit” was my spirit's response to the answer I received as Carrie's story washed over me.  The answer? It was time to submit to the Author of my Story and to my place within the larger Story that surrounds me. It was time to let go of the idea that it was all up to me. The deep-seated belief that I had to get it just right, or else, was causing me to hold on too tightly to each moment, each decision, each action. It was causing me to attribute too much significance to each moment, decision, and action and keeping me from just living.  It was a call to faith–faith in God and in the structure of existence. It was a call to surrender. It was a call to let go.    I'm a Fan That was a couple of months ago. True to form, I instinctively got nervous that the effects of that transcendent moment would wear off.  But I'm glad to report that truly transcendent moments don't wear off that easily. I am calmer, more at peace, and more comfortable being myself than prior to that “letting go.” I'm better able to peer into the mists of the future with curiosity and wonder than anxiety and fear because the future holds twists and turns in my Story that–even though some of them will be painful–will nevertheless contribute to the Story that God is writing with my life and in which I'm an active co-creator. I'm emboldened by the knowledge that I'm not alone and it's not all up to me. I'm taking initiative on things in my life that I was shrinking back from before.  I'm even able to see my ongoing blood sugar challenge and its life-altering impact as a portal to new possibilities and discoveries rather than just a hurdle to clear. I share more about the blood sugar issue in Ep. 057: What to Do When Life Throws You a Curveball if you want to know more.   In short, I'm a huge fan of this whole letting go thing!   Transferable Lessons for All of Us My story is descriptive of my experience rather than prescriptive of what yours should be, as a mentor of mine used to say. You may or may not relate to the way that I conceive of and interact with the Transcendent.  My Story serves a purpose illustratively, nonetheless.  Namely, it is good to let go of whatever is holding us back. And, if we don't know what's holding us back, then all we have to do is ask.  Even though my story isn't prescriptive of yours, there are a few transferable lessons that you can put into action right away.  First, pay attention to any areas of tightness or constriction in your life. Pockets of negative and intense energy, places where there's an underlying insistence that things be a certain way.  Next, simply pose the question, “What do I need to let go of?” and keep the lines of communication with the all-wise Transcendent open.  Finally, create space within which the answer to your question can emerge. We moderns rarely prioritize solitude. We often falsely equate it with unproductive time or label it a luxury. In fact, though, it's the fertile soil out of which our most transformational revelations can spring. So don't neglect it. In holding the space for solitude sacred in your life, you'll be among the giants of humanity who did the same–the Benjamin Franklins, the Albert Einsteins, the Gandhis, the Jesus' of Nazareth–and not among the countless hordes who hurl themselves headlong through life without much thought or reflection and have little to show for it beyond filling their time.  But if you listen to this podcast, then you're not interested in just filling whatever time you're allotted on this planet. Instead, you want to give life everything you've got.  So, pay attention, pose the question, create space, and await your answer.  Your results won't be like mine, but they will be just what you need, just when you need it.    The Help You Need for Letting Go A healthy dose of objectivity goes a long way when we're trying to discover what we need to let go of.  That's one of the reasons why I created The Graveyard Group. In a small group setting, you and your very own confidential board of advisors discern what you need to let go of and help you take the steps necessary to let go of it so you can live YOUR one and only life with even more guts, gusto, and abandon.  A new women's Graveyard Group is forming now, with my colleague, the amazing Beth Romano, serving as its facilitator. Beth pioneered the first women's Graveyard Group this past January, and now she's inviting more women to benefit from the experience.  Go here to learn more about joining a women's Graveyard Group, or email me.

National Herald case & Section 8 of Companies Act

Business Standard Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 17, 2022 4:01


Before we delve deeper into the specifics of the Section 8 of the Companies Act, let us first skim through the case which brought it into the news. Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and party MP Rahul Gandhi were recently summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in a case of money laundering registered against them. Sonia could not appear as she was admitted to Delhi's Ganga Ram hospital due to Covid-19 complications. But Rahul did. So what is the case? In 1938, Jawahar Lal Nehru had founded a newspaper called National Herald-- which went on to become a prominent voice against British rule. Its publishing company, Associated Journals Limited or AJL, also used to take out Hindi paper Navjivan and Urdu daily Qaumi Awaz. But, over the years, it lost steam. And about 70 years later, in 2008, AJL stopped publishing the papers due to continued losses. Meanwhile, to save the paper, Congress had given interest-free loans to AJL reportedly from the party funds. By 2008, AJL -- which had about 1,000 shareholders -- owed about Rs 90 crore to Congress. It was then that AJL stocks were transferred to Young Indian (YIL) -- a private charitable company formed by Gandhis in 2010 under Section 25 of the Companies Act. In 2013, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy filed a complaint alleging corruption. He asked how AJL -- which had assets worth Rs 2,000 crore in prime locations-- can be bought for just Rs 50lakh? Congress rejected the charges. It said that YIL was a not-for-profit company, and no profit or dividend can be doled out to its shareholders or directors – in this case the Gandhis. The party also insisted that AJL continues to be the owner of National Herald and there is no transfer of property. So what is Section 8 of Companies Act and why firms are floated under this provision.   If a company is being floated to promote social welfare, it can either get itself registered as a trust under the Trust Act, 1882 or the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Or it can choose to register itself as a not-for-profit organisation under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 -- previously under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. A company is registered as a non-profit organisation (NPO) under the Section 8 to promote education, charity, religion, arts, commerce, environment, sports, science, research, social welfare. And the profit earned by the organisation cannot be used for paying out dividends to its members. It can only be used to promote the purpose it has been set up for. The licence for such companies is issued by the central government. While the authorization for the trust is given by state governments.  And these companies can get the tax benefits if it gets registration under section 80G and 12AA of IT act. Some examples of Section 8 companies are Azim Premji Foundation, Reliance Foundation, Reliance Research Institute, Coca Cola India Foundation and Amazon Academic Foundation.

Born in 1934 in Durban, South Africa, Arun Gandhi is the fifth grandson of India's late spiritual leader, Mohandas Karamchand 11Mahatma" Gandhi. Growing up under South Africa's apartheid was difficult, humiliating and often dangerous. Enduring bigoted attacks from European-African youths for not being "white," and from Native Africans for not being "black," increased the anger that Arun Gandhi bore as a young man. Hoping that time with his grandfather would help the twelve year old Arun control his rage and deal with prejudice through nonviolent means, his parents took him to India to live with "The Mahatma" (great soul) in 1946. Arun's stay with his grandfather coincided with the most tumultuous period in India's struggle to free itself from British rule. His grandfather showed Arun firsthand the effects of a national campaign for liberation carried out through both violent and nonviolent means. For eighteen months, while Gandhi imparted lessons to his grandson, the young man was also witnessing world history unfold before his eyes. This combination set Arun on a course for life. Arun's father, Manilal, Gandhi's second son, spent over sixteen years in prison as he was repeatedly jailed for his efforts to change South African apartheid nonviolently. Arun's mother, Sushila, spent fifty-four years at Gandhi's ashram "Phoenix" outside Durban. After the deaths of Gandhiji and Manilal, Sushila was the ashram's driving force until its destruction in 1985. The community had been in existence for over eighty years. At twenty-three, Arun returned to India and worked as a journalist and reporter for "The Times of India." He, his wife, Sunanda, and several colleagues started the successful economic initiative, India's Center for Social Unity, whose mission is to alleviate poverty and caste discrimination. The Center's success has now spread to over 300 villages, improving the lives of more than 500 thousand rural Indians. Having written four books and hundreds of articles, Dr. Gandhi is an accomplished author and journalist. He and Sunanda published the "Suburban Echo" in Bombay from 1985 - 1987. Arun and Sunanda moved to Oxford, Mississippi in the United States in 1987. At the University of Mississippi, they collected material to compare race issues in the American south, color discrimination in South Africa, and the caste system in India. In October 1991, the Gandhis founded the "M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence." Its mission is to examine, promote, and apply the principles of nonviolent thought and action through research, workshops, seminars and community service.Presentation from the 2012 Ozark Mountain Transformation Conference.FOLLOW US ON:Facebook: https://goo.gl/rwvBfwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozarkmtpubTwitter: https://goo.gl/LunK5DWebsite: https://goo.gl/2d5cX4ASSOCIATED LINKS:Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc.: https://goo.gl/xhgoAPQuantum Healing Hypnosis Academy: https://goo.gl/64G7RD

108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man by Dinkar Pujara108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man is an updated and revised debut in English of the author's first novel originally published in Gujarati, his native language. It is set in the spring of 1990, during a border crisis between India and Pakistan, and is an interpretation of actual historical events. A top spy for RAW, India's equivalent of the CIA, is sent to end the critical situation, one that nearly resulted in the world's first nuclear war. The spy, a complex man, spiritually ambitious but hopelessly licentious, manages to mishandle his morally repugnant personal life while trying to save the world from disaster. There are comic elements as well as serious drama in this behind-the-scenes look at international intrigue.An environmental engineer by profession, Dinkar Pujara has written three political thrillers in his language Gujarati, an Indian language spoken by about 50 million. His debut novel in English is based on his first novel, 108 Earthly Desires of a Dark-Hearted Man, which dealt with a border crisis between India and Pakistan in the spring of 1990 that almost brought the world its first nuclear war.The events involved international leaders like Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, U.S. president George H.W. Bush, and the leaders of India and Pakistan, along with spy agencies from five countries. The above are historical facts. In his debut English novel, Pujara explores what happened prior to and after the crisis. His other novel about another crisis depicts the conspiracy and assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by the world's first woman suicide bomber. There were many theories about who had conspired a young woman from Sri Lanka to blow herself up along with seventeen others and Mr. Gandhi in South India.The author believed at the time (and even now) that President George H.W. Bush could have warned the Indian Government prior to the horrific event since he had information about a chatter between the conspirators, but he chose to sit on it because, "he disliked all Gandhis."Pujara's book was well-received, but his allegations were covered up by intelligence personnel at the CIA, NSA, and the State Department at the time. All three of Pujara's books were serialized in prominent newspapers in Gujarat, India.https://www.writersrepublic.com/bookshop/108-earthly-desires-dark-hearted-manhttps://dinkarpujarabooks.com/http://www.bluefunkbroacasting.com/root/twia/dpujarawr.mp3

Imagine trying to explain them to an alien: "Well, we right-thinking people are quite sure that the Holocaust happened, so banning Holocaust denial would shut up some crackpots and improve the discourse. But it's one step on the road to things like banning unpopular political positions or religions, and we right-thinking people oppose that, so we won't ban Holocaust denial." And the alien might well respond: "But you could just ban Holocaust denial, but not ban unpopular political positions or religions. Then you right-thinking people get the thing you want, but not the thing you don't want." This post is about some of the replies you might give the alien. Abandoning the Power of Choice This is the boring one without any philosophical insight that gets mentioned only for completeness' sake. In this reply, giving up a certain point risks losing the ability to decide whether or not to give up other points. For example, if people gave up the right to privacy and allowed the government to monitor all phone calls, online communications, and public places, then if someone launched a military coup, it would be very difficult to resist them because there would be no way to secretly organize a rebellion. This is also brought up in arguments about gun control a lot. I'm not sure this is properly thought of as a slippery slope argument at all. It seems to be a more straightforward "Don't give up useful tools for fighting tyranny" argument. The Legend of Murder-Gandhi Previously on Less Wrong's The Adventures of Murder-Gandhi: Gandhi is offered a pill that will turn him into an unstoppable murderer. He refuses to take it, because in his current incarnation as a pacifist, he doesn't want others to die, and he knows that would be a consequence of taking the pill. Even if we offered him $1 million to take the pill, his abhorrence of violence would lead him to refuse. But suppose we offered Gandhi $1 million to take a different pill: one which would decrease his reluctance to murder by 1%. This sounds like a pretty good deal. Even a person with 1% less reluctance to murder than Gandhi is still pretty pacifist and not likely to go killing anybody. And he could donate the money to his favorite charity and perhaps save some lives. Gandhi accepts the offer. Now we iterate the process: every time Gandhi takes the 1%-more-likely-to-murder-pill, we offer him another $1 million to take the same pill again. Maybe original Gandhi, upon sober contemplation, would decide to accept $5 million to become 5% less reluctant to murder. Maybe 95% of his original pacifism is the only level at which he can be absolutely sure that he will still pursue his pacifist ideals. Unfortunately, original Gandhi isn't the one making the choice of whether or not to take the 6th pill. 95%-Gandhi is. And 95% Gandhi doesn't care quite as much about pacifism as original Gandhi did. He still doesn't want to become a murderer, but it wouldn't be a disaster if he were just 90% as reluctant as original Gandhi, that stuck-up goody-goody. What if there were a general principle that each Gandhi was comfortable with Gandhis 5% more murderous than himself, but no more? Original Gandhi would start taking the pills, hoping to get down to 95%, but 95%-Gandhi would start taking five more, hoping to get down to 90%, and so on until he's rampaging through the streets of Delhi, killing everything in sight. Now we're tempted to say Gandhi shouldn't even take the first pill. But this also seems odd.

Og sikken et liv! Ellen Hørup var datter af Viggo Hørup, Dagbladet Politikens grundlægger, og fik holdninger og politik ind med modermælken. Hun var politisk engageret i kvindefrigørelsen og i Indiens uafhængighed - i særdeleshed Mahatma Gandhis ikke-voldsbevægelse. Hun talte og skrev fransk, tysk, engelsk, russisk og italiensk, og hun var måske den eneste kvinde, der behandlede udenrigspolitik til danske aviser før Anden Verdenskrig. I denne episode stiller vi skarpt på en af Danmarks mest progressive kvinder, som desværre blev en smule glemt af historien. Det gør vi sammen med forfatter Maria Grønlykke, som har skrevet portrætbogen ‘Godt for sandheden at ikke alle lever af at sælge flæsk'. Gæst: Maria Grønlykke.
