In light of cases against Nupur Sharma for her comments about Prophet Mohammed on Times Now and against Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair for his comments about Hindu seers, we look at how to define the right to free speech in our current political climate. As hate speech is becoming increasingly common, so are threats to free speech and press freedom. In the 2022 World Press Freedom index, India ranks at 150 out of 180 countries, falling several places over the years.  In this episode of TSIS, host Suryatapa Mukherjee speaks to V. Krishna Ananth. A former lawyer and a journalist, he now teaches history at the Sikkim University, Gangtok. Last year, he wrote a book called ‘Between Freedom and Unfreedom: The Press in Independent India' which chronicles the history of the Indian press. We look at what the law says about free speech and how our understanding of it has changed through history.  Kashmir is ground zero of press freedom clampdowns across India - Suno India Pegasus: Understanding the super spy that controls your phone - Suno India Nav-nirman Andolan of Gujarat, 1973-74: A new awakening | India Today Why the 1974 All-India Railway Strike Is Relevant Even Today | The Wire Article 19 in The Constitution Of India 1949 Section 124A in The Indian Penal Code Report of the Press Commission Part 1 1954 See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Chef Sachiko Seth, who is of Tibetan origin, was born in Kalimpong in the hills of Bengal. Her mother Doma Wang (pronounced Wong) had started a home chef enterprise in Kolkata back then. Making momos at home and selling them across Salt Lake. Sachiko, whose pet name is Puchu, remembers waking up as a 4 year old to the sight of her mum and her team making momos, thukpa and chowmein in their house for orders. It was her breakfast too. When a bit older, she was given the responsibility of helping deliver the momos and later learnt how to make them. She took some time to figure out what she wanted to do in life and after school went to Chandigarh to be a tattoo artist. Which is when it struck her that she wanted to carry on her family legacy. Her grandfather was a noodle maker and Puchu had fond memories of his enterprise in Kalimpong. Sachiko returned to Kolkata and told Doma (a #Foodocracyforher alumni) that she wanted to work with her at Blue Poppy, the Sikkim House canteen in Kolkata that her mother was running. She was a bit shocked when she was told she had to wait on tables first before she worked in the kitchen and in the kitchen wash dishes first, then chop and prep ingredients before she got anywhere close to the cooking area. All of these experiences came of use when Sachiko opened Blue Poppy Thakali, 'based on memories on the range of food I had as a kid in Kalimpong', in Kolkata after the Sikkim House canteen lease got over. The family also runs Blue Poppy Express, a delivery kitchen in Kolkata, and Blue Poppy in Gangtok. Doma di, as she is fondly known in Kolkata, remains the guiding force with the new gen taking her legacy ahead. Chef Sachio0 is painfully shy and it was a privilege to get to interview her. Do not miss out on the chance to listen to her cook. #FoodocracyForHer by Kalyan Karmakar is India's longest running podcast featuring women entrepreneurs in the food and beverage business.

#36 – Growing up in New Delhi in her native India, Shelly's family had a lot of say in the career path she chose. Despite that, Shelly was committed to working in the hospitality industry and pushed back against her family's concerns. When she was accepted into the Institute of Hotel Management in Gangtok, her father relented, and off she went. An internship at the Taj Mahal Hotel led to a career in the Food and Beverage department at other luxury hotels like The Imperial, serving clients like Angelina Jolie and Bill Clinton. Then, when her father's business was struggling, Shelly made the choice to take a job through a J-1 visa in the United States, but it ended up not being the financial success she was hoping for. Back in India, she began to shift towards working with more mid-range hotels until she was offered an opportunity to work for a hotel brand that spun off from Taj Hotel brand where she got her start. By then, Shelly had worked her way up to the role of Director of Sales and Marketing and was expanding her skillset far beyond making a mean martini.When her work environment started to shift, which began to affect her health and social life, Shelly began to consider what the future of her career would look like. Reflecting back on a plan she had if money wasn't an issue, she began to be interested in teaching Sales and Marketing to others. Knowing that would be a difficult path to forge in India, and having a younger sibling attending post-secondary education in Canada, a move overseas seemed like the right choice. Needing to renew some education before applying for Master's programs, Shelly enrolled at Seneca College and it was there where she found a whole new passion; a passion that is now leading her down a different career path.What is she doing now?

I have reached the end of my trek through Northern India. The scientific studies I looked at before my trip, mainly from Europe and the US, clearly show the connection between consciousness and sleep, can also measure and prove corresponding brain waves, but there are hardly any proven methods to influence it. I had therefore decided to make this trek through India, because people here have been dealing with states of consciousness for well over 2500 years and have developed techniques to cultivate this consciousness. Here different interesting currents meet, from Taoism in China, which probably inspired Buddhism, the Vedic culture, the Buddhist teachings up to modern Yoga. In essence, the sleep disorder is a disorder of consciousness. It is a disorder of how you perceive yourself. And we can influence this perception. I would like to shed some light on what your consciousness or the perception of your life has to do with your sleep. You can basically distinguish between two states, namely the perception that you experience while awake and the non-perception during sleep. What do you perceive at all? You can differentiate two perceptions. On the one hand, the sensations of your senses, for which you also have organs, i.e. seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling. The second area comprises the perception of your moods, i.e. sensations to which you cannot assign any organs. This includes joy, sadness, fear or shame. In the sleep state, both your sensations and the perception of your moods are limited. That means you hear nothing or little, see nothing, smell, taste and feel almost nothing when you sleep. I think one thing is clear to everyone: if you ponder on your problems or are excited, you can't sleep properly. But what I find alarming is that bad feelings and moods are not only causes of poor sleep, but also a consequence. It's not just your mental performance that depends on good sleep. What I have learned in conversations over the last few weeks is that sleep is the most important prerequisite for self-confidence and the general feeling of contentment and the feeling of happiness. So what we see is a vicious circle that is very hard to break. Above all, it doesn't go away on its own and experience shows that it increases with age. That's why they say "sleep like a baby". If you want to break this vicious circle of insomnia, you have to tackle it actively, which bring me to my conclusion of this journey It has proven true for me that there are three most important adjusting screws for natural sleep: Light, movement and rest. Light: We need more natural light during the day and less artificial light in the evening. For thousands of years, humans have followed a fixed light-dark rhythm that has determined our sleep patterns. The circadian rhythm is strongly influenced by the natural light to which we are exposed in daytime. During the day, hormones are released by the body, controlling digestion, the immune system, blood pressure, fat burning, appetite and also sleep. The hypothalamus is is primarily responsible for controlling hormones. Light signals the hypothalamus and stimulates the body to produce the optimal level of daytime hormones and regulate your biological clock. Too little light exposure during the day and too much artificial light in the evening negatively affect sleep. When you fill up with more natural light during the day, you give your day-night rhythm a boost in (circadian rhythms). Too much artificial, blue light in the evening, inhibits melatonin production and thus sleep. Sufficient physical exercise Exercise during the day gets the body moving, promotes hormonal health and boosts metabolic processes. There are a few points you should keep in mind: If you suffer from stress, you should allow yourself to rest rather than perform additional strenuous activities.

I will continue north today. Via Patma, it is at least 10 days to walk to the edge of the Himalayas. I would like to hike from here to the northeast and at the foot of the Himalayas to the Sikkim region, to Darjeeeling and Gangtok. I don't have a real goal today, Patma is too far, so I let myself drift and see where I can find a good place to spend the night. I took a little booklet about Buddha's teachings with me and turn the pages over and over again when I stop to rest a little. I realize on thing. Buddha tried to get to the heart of things and did have a tendency towards exaggeration and extremes. Therefore, his first attempts at salvation were extreme. He joined ascetics, the hunger monks. He realized this was not the right path for him and proclaimed the middle path as the right way. If you are looking in the extremes it is a great realization that the right path is not extreme, but lies in between.. That is why his first journey after his enlightenment was to meet his former colleagues the hunger monks, whom he wanted to inform about his findings. In his speech “all is burning”, which deals with the inflammation of the senses and the psyche, you can feel his tendency to exaggerate. He wants to clarify his thesis and is also taking a radical approach to the solution. He defines egoism as the central evil and proclaims that there is no self, an ego existing. The non-existence of the soul is therefore his creed. This radical thought should encourage us to connect more with the world in order to avoid inflammation of the senses. I can see the young, talented, and intellectual Siddharta right in front of me. He himself suffers from tension and nervousness like many brilliant minds and he leaves everything behind, his small endangered kingdom and the tightness of the family, which have great expectations of him. He goes out looking for peace of mind. But he does not find this peace of mind within himself, but in the dissolution of his own being. He realizes that we are only part of the cosmos and that we find salvation from our sufferings in connection with the cosmic worlds.

Ich werde heute weiter Richtung Norden gehen. Über Patma, sind es mindestens 10 Tage Fußmarsch, bis an den Rand des Himalayas. Ich möchte von hier nach Nordosten wandern und am Fuße des Himalayas in die Region Sikkim, nach Darjeeeling und Gangtok. Für diesen Schlafkurs habe ich wieder mehrere Wirkelemente zusammengestellt. In dieser Folge hörst du eine Aufnahme, die ich im Regenwald gemacht habe. Die hochwertige Audio-Aufnahmen, die ich in Indien gemacht habe umfasst das volle hörbare Klangspektrum und entfalten so die maximale Wirkung. Naturgeräusche führten dazu, dass beim einschlafen störende Gedanken durch positive ersetzt werden und wir Stress abbauen können und damit besser einschlafen. Beim Einschlafen wechselt die Gehirnaktivität von einem hochaktiven Zustand in eine tiefere Theta und Deltaschwingung. Unser limbisches System lässt sich in diese Schwingung bringen durch Meditation oder durch das Anstupsen von aussen, In der Schlaftherapie verwende ich Aufnahmen von Delta- und Thetawellen, wie sie auch in Schlaflaboren zum Einsatzkommen um einen Impuls zu setzten und diese Zustände anzuregen.. Dies verbessert viele Aspekte der subjektiven Erfahrungen, Emotionen und Stimmungen und führt dazu, dass du dich wohl und geborgen fühlst. Musik: Entspannung ist das Geheimnis der Transformation. Eine Veränderung werden wir nicht erzwingen können, sondern nur durch einen sanften Weg erreichen. Die entspannungsfördernde Wirkung von Musik zählt zu den ureigensten Funktionen dieses Mediums und besitzt ein stressreduzierendes Potenzial was auch wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen ist.

You can also check out our other episodes on Sikkim by Surya Raju and by Sandy and Vyjay- Utsav and his partner head off from Gangtok towards their itinerary of Lachen, Chopta valley and Gurdongmar lake.- It is highly advised that you hire a driver to drive you around as driving in the state is quite challenging given the weather conditions and the roads.- Utsav spends his time in Lachen, enjoying the shoulder season with no tourists, interacting with locals as well as exploring the local monasteries.- Make a quick trip to Chopta valley from Lachen - the valley gives a beautiful view of the snowcapped mountains and the river (depending on the time of the year).- Utsav's trip to Gurdongmar was cut short due to the weather, since the army recommended to avoid travelling during severe weather conditions.- On the way back, Utsav makes a stop at a Gurudwara to enjoy some good conversations and a hearty langar (meal in the community kitchen).- Utsav also learns about the legend of Gurudongmar, about how Guru Nanak is believed to have traveled here and how a portion of the river never freezes at the point where the Guru hit his staff ('Dong' in Punjabi, 'Maar' is hit). There is also a legend about the Buddhist saint Padmasambhava with a similar story, hence the lake is considered sacred by both Sikhs and Buddhists. (Erroneously mentioned as "Sikhs and Hindus" on the podcast)- After spending a day at Lachen, Utsav decides to move base to a small village called Dzongu and spend some time absorbing the slow life of the village.- Slow travelling gives one the opportunity to live like a local and enjoy some authentic experiences, without having to rush from point to point.- This includes enjoying some wholesome organic food (Sikkim is the first officially organic state in India), local beers and Sikkimese hospitality in general.- Utsav also shares some interesting tidbits about the colourful prayer flags in Sikkim and their significance.- Try to hire a local tour guide driver, as they have the best network in the area (which is often useful) and also helps boost the local economy.

“A Soldier Is Never Off-Duty”. This statement was a tag line of a famous Bollywood movie. But it comes true in the case of “Baba Harbhajan Singh”. You all may have heard about him before. But there are some beliefs and incidences related to him that you must know. This is the real story of the ‘Hero Of Nathula'. And there is a reason why everyone symbolizes him with that name. Harbhajan Singh was born on 30th August 1946, into a Sikh family in Sadrana village of district Gujarawala in Punjab. After completing preliminary education from the village school, completed matriculation from DAV at Patti, Punjab. Later he enrolled into the 23, Punjab Regiment on 9th Feb 1966.
