Jazzy J shares his passion for community support, rooted in his upbringing in Mumbai, and discusses his role in the Indian Association of Manchester. He highlights the organisation's efforts to bring together people from various backgrounds, provide platforms for local talent, and support activities that celebrate South Asian culture. The episode covers the importance of patience, kindness, and a forward-thinking approach. The conversation underscores the significance of fostering inclusion and giving people opportunities to showcase their talents. The episode concludes with Jazzy J offering advice for those looking to start similar movements in their communities.

Style does not matter. As far as you have it in you, you go ahead and you share it with the world and you enrich it in the way that you feel that is fit for you.' #Community #SouthAsian #culture #Manchester #GM #SocialImpact #NonProfit #Podcast   Did you know:  ·     South Asian culture is a blend of many cultures in and around the Indian subcontinent. It has a rich history of kingdoms, empires, spiritual and artistic movements, and cultural, religious, economic, and political connections to other regions.  ·     South Asian culture has made a significant impact on Britain in various aspects, such as food, clothing, music, words, and the overall ambiance of our towns and cities.  ·      South Asia has a rich legacy of music and dance, including classical music traditions like Hindustani and Carnatic music in India, Ghazals in Pakistan, and Baul music in Bangladesh. Dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Bhangra are art forms that also express emotions and cultural narratives.   Key resources: This is Jazzy J.

On this week's hemp podcast, we focus on the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Morton, Minnesota. The Lower Sioux are part of the larger Dakota tribe, which once thrived in the Upper Midwest, following the bison herds across the Great Plains. The Lower Sioux Indian Community sits along the southern bank of the Minnesota River in southwestern Minnesota. The tribal land was greatly reduced after the Dakota War of 1862. Earl Pendleton, vice president of the tribal council, is the first guest on the podcast this week. Pendleton describes life on the reservation and how things have changed over the course of his life. “There's a lot of history in this area for the relations between the U.S. government, the state government and the Dakota people,” he said. “The U.S./Dakota conflict of 1862, which is 160 years ago, is still kind of fresh out here. And there's still a lot of tension between who we are and what we deserve.” “The reason for that conflict was people seeing their families starve and seeing their food sources being eliminated around them and the encroachment of settlers and things like that,” Pendleton said. The conflict led to some of the most brutal episodes in American history, including the public hanging of 38 Dakota warriors the day after Christmas 1862, the largest mass execution in U.S. history. “Obviously, I don't blame anybody here today for that. But I think there's just a story that should be told. I think our our kids need to hear our real history and feel proud of who they are,' he said. One of the bright spots for Pendleton and the Lower Sioux Community is industrial hemp. 2023 is their fourth season of growing the crop. “We're at a pretty small scale,” Pendleton said. “We started at 40 acres, we moved up to 80 and 100, and I think we're doing 100 again this year. So we have a a stockpile of of hemp bales that are ready for processing.” The Sioux grow a dual-purpose variety called X59, which produces grain and fiber. The tribe sells the grain and processes the fiber on site with a 1-ton-per-hour decorticator. The vision is to use the hemp fiber to build houses for the community. Many homes are government housing, Pendleton said, and were not built with the best materials or with longevity in mind. And there is a shortage of housing too. “We have a lot of families living together, overcrowding, some homelessness,” he said. “So when I looked at hemp and seen that is a potential for construction, it seemed like the perfect fit for our community.” Working with HempStone, a hempcrete construction company from Massachusetts, the tribe is learning how to turn their hemp hurds into hemp housing. Last year the group completed a small shed as proof of concept. And this summer the tribe is building its first full-size home. The tribe is also building a home made from conventional materials to do a side-by-side comparison of energy efficiency. Danny Desjarlais is the project manager for the tribe's hemp-building endeavors, and also a guest on this week's podcast. A traditional builder by trade, he is a convert to building with hemp. “I don't want to use any traditional buildings anymore. You know, after discovering the hemp and the hempcrete and all of its benefits has just been very eye-opening for me as a builder,” he said. Desjarlais sees great potential in hemp for existing houses in the community. “We have 165 houses on our reservation right now; 160 of them probably need retrofitting or could be fixed up in some way,” he said. Desjarlais said the people of his community are very excited by the prospect of industrial hemp and the hope it brings. “Our people used to follow the buffalo, and we used every part of the buffalo, he said. “And so I look at hemp as like the green buffalo — we can use every part of the plant. And so we're only barely just scraping the surface right now with with growing and building houses out of it.” Lower Sioux Indian Community https://lowersioux.com/ HempStone https://hempstone.net/ Tell Your Senator You Support the 2023 Industrial Hemp Act If you think grain and fiber hemp farmers should be able to grow grain and fiber like they can grow corn and soy, then contact our senator and tell them to support the Industrial Hemp Act of 2023. https://www.hempexemption.com/contactcongress Thanks to our sponsors: Mpactful Ventures An investment and incubation company focused on sustainability and supporting startups and other initiatives that play a vital role in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.

Growing up on the Prairie Island Indian Community reservation, Calais Lone Elk had a plan — a set of steps burned in her mind and logged with her school to help her find her family in the event of an explosion at the nearby nuclear power plant. Tom Baker for MPR News Xcel Energy's Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant is seen from Wakonade Drive in Prairie Island Indian Community in Welch, Minn., on Thursday. “If you went to school and something happened out here, where do you meet your parents? Where do you reconnect with your family? Because you can't come back here,” she said. “Those are things that I don't think are normal.” Lone Elk is 37 now, and still constantly reviewing her escape plan for an emergency at the nearby power plant.   It sits just 700 yards away from her community of 100 homes, its powerlines lining backyards and main thoroughfares.  For Lone Elk and others living in Prairie Island, concerns about the nuclear power plant's safety are a source of low-grade daily stress. Despite official assurances, many people believe it's bad for their health to be living so close. “We all have a plan, whether we voice it or not. We all have an idea of what we have to do or what we need to do. And we all know that we have to go up-wind of that nuclear plant,” Lone Elk said.

Tom Baker for MPR News Shelley Buck, vice president of Prairie Island Indian Community in Welch, Minn., stands at a potential solar site for the community's net-zero carbon project on June 30. Today, the Prairie Island Community is seeking to disentangle itself from a power plant it never wanted. It's created a $46 million plan to produce net zero carbon emissions within the next decade.  Buck said it's an ambitious step toward being a sovereign nation that's energy sovereign, too.  “To do a big project like net zero really helps us change that narrative into something positive showing how energy can be used as a positive force,” she said. “By offsetting or eliminating the carbon that we produce, it's a positive for everybody.” ‘Why not go big?' Prairie Island members are descendants of the Mdewakanton Band of Eastern Dakota. They made their home in southern Minnesota, but lost that land in 1851 in the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux.  It wasn't until 1934 that the land on the banks of the Mississippi just north of Red Wing became a federally recognized reservation. The Prairie Island power plant was issued its first operating license in 1974, and it was renewed in 2011. Initially, tribal members say the plant was described to them as a steam power plant. It's one of two nuclear power plants, the second in Monticello, that Xcel says are critical to its plans of producing carbon-free electricity by 2050, and is considered safe by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Tom Baker for MPR News A sign outside Xcel Energy's Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant along Wakonade Drive gives directions for visitors at the plant, located within Prairie Island Indian Community in Welch, Minn., seen on June 30. In the early 1990s, Xcel Energy asked the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency permission to store nuclear waste there — at least temporarily until a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain opened, a plan that has since stalled due to local opposition. As a child, Mikhail Childs remembers his father protesting the prospect of storing nuclear waste so close to the reservation.  “Some of the earliest memories I have are of protestors standing in the road, blocking semi-trucks hauling nuclear waste,” he said. “The way [my dad] explained it to me was that all this land we reside on is sacred … We believe that in our creation story, the creation took place just miles down the river.”  Catharine Richert | MPR News Mikhail Childs, Prairie Island Indian Community member, stands on tribal land near the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in southeast Minnesota on July 20. But here's the twist, and it's an important one: Through all these years of living with a nuclear power plant next door, Prairie Island hasn't been powered by the energy generated there, said Buck. The community just recently started getting natural gas from Xcel. It's a logistical detail that she said prevented the tribal community from being eligible for the Renewable Development Fund, a pot of state money financed by Xcel customers for renewable energy projects for Xcel service areas, she said.  Then in 2020, a legislative change allowed Prairie Island to tap $46 million from the fund for the project.  While the tribe had toyed with doing wind power and other renewable projects in the past, a large amount of funding created the opportunity to do more. “Why not go big?” said Buck. One goal, different solutions And by big, Buck is referring to a plan that aims to eliminate 20 million pounds of carbon annually through a raft of renewable energy and efficiency upgrades. Prairie Island's Treasure Island Resort and Casino is the largest energy user on the reservation.  The plan involves multiple ways of achieving that goal, said Andrea Thompson, who has been hired by the tribe as the project's energy program manager.  “Any community that sets a net zero goal gets to decide the pathway to get there. And for many different reasons, some communities choose to purchase carbon credits or find a financial path to achieve net zero while the actual carbon reduction isn't necessarily happening on site,” said Thompson. “What Prairie Island is doing is different,” she said.  Tom Baker for MPR News Andrea Thompson, energy program manager for Prairie Island Indian Community's net-zero carbon project, stands at one of the project's potential solar sites in Welch, Minn., on June 30. Their plan involves constructing a 10-to-15 acre solar array that aims to reduce carbon emissions by more than 550,000 pounds annually, phasing out natural gas in favor of geothermal energy and electrification, and promoting zero-emission and energy efficiency residential upgrades. “One of the reasons why this project is so exciting is because [the tribal council] is not just saying, ‘Let's go gangbusters on solar, and we're gonna call it a day,'” said Shoshana Pena, director of program services for NV5, an technical engineering company hired to work on the project.  It's unlike other municipal or tribal projects she's seeing in the industry because “They're not trying to just do whatever is just meeting the minimum requirements. They're looking at all of these different solutions,” she said.  Tom Baker for MPR News Treasure Island Resort & Casino, owned and operated by Prairie Island Indian Community in Welch, Minn. Net zero in a few years The project is also on a fast-track, said Thompson.  “A lot of communities, when they set net zero goals, they often give themselves 10, 20, 30 years to achieve net zero. And Prairie Island is under a totally different timeline, we're trying to do net zero in a few years, a handful of years,” she said. That ambitious timeline has been setback by COVID-related supply-chain and labor issues, Thompson said. Last year, the tribe asked the Legislature for an extension on phase two of the project, which involves finding the right contractors to build out the plan — a phase that's expected to wrap up early 2023.  Details of the plan continue to be in flux — for instance, where the solar array will be located, and the design of the geothermal wells. Meanwhile, tribal leaders continue to make their case for the plan to residents. By and large, it's been met with support from members, but some are skeptical of how it will be implemented. That includes Selena Childs. She's concerned that the plan focuses too much on technologies that won't stand the test of time. She has questions, for instance, about how long the solar array will last before it needs to be replaced.  Catharine Richert | MPR News Selena Childs, a member of the Prairie Island Indian Community, stands on tribal land near the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in southeast Minnesota on July 20. “Instead we could start building houses that are green, that are economically effective,” said Childs. “We can build our house out of local resources that are still going to be more efficient than these trailer houses that we see put up here … And yet, they want to fill up our fields with solar panels.” And, Childs points out, the plan doesn't change the fact that the community is next door to a nuclear power plant and the nuclear waste stored there. “We don't get our power from the nuclear panel down here. We get it from somewhere else,” she said. Tribal member Nicky Buck said that may be true. But to her, it's about reclaiming the narrative of her community and of their land.  “We want to turn it into a more positive, resilient story, that we, the people, are in control of our lives,” she said.

Over the past few years, almost 30,000 Indians have moved to Sweden, making them the second largest group of foreign-born immigrants in the country. Many of them have settled in big cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, and have moved here for work or study reasons.And they have brought with them many things from their home country, including their love of cricket - a little-known sport in Sweden but one that's huge in India and other parts of South Asia.In this edition of Radio Sweden Weekly we will travel to Gothenburg to learn more about the growing Indian community in Sweden, and what the local cricket clubs mean for them.Producer/presenter: Odessa Fardipour.

The Australian government recognises dowry as a driver of abuse. It says that any act of coercion, violence or harassment associated with the giving or receiving of dowry at any time before, during or after marriage is a form of abuse. Dowry is a growing problem in Australia. The Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence recently found that it was a particular concern in Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and increasingly in Middle Eastern communities. Venkatesh and Vishal analyse the history, root cause and limitation of dowry law in Australia.
