पिछले कुछ दिनों से भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच हो रहे टकराव को आप सभी ने देखा ही होगा। इससे जुड़ी खबरें और अफवाहों से भी हम सभी वाकिफ हैं। ऐसे माहौल में क्यों न इस विषय को थोड़ी शांति से और अकादमिक दृष्टिकोण से देखा जाए?आज हमारे साथ पुलियाबाज़ी पर जुड़ रहे हैं अतुल मिश्रा, जो शिव नादर इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ एमिनेंस में इंटरनैशनल रिलेशन्स के प्रोफेसर हैं। उनकी किताब भारत और पाकिस्तान के रिश्तों को पार्टिशन और संप्रभुता के नज़रिये से समझने की कोशिश करती है। यह हमारे लिए तो बहुत ही दिलचस्प चर्चा रही और एक अलग ही दृष्टिकोण से हमने भारत और पाकिस्तान के रिश्तों को समझा। तो आज की चर्चा जरूर सुनिए।We discuss:* A framework to understand international relations in South Asia* Understanding the current India-Pak conflict from the framework of partition* What is Sovereignty?* How did minority politics emerge in India?* The internationalisation of Hindu-Muslim community relations* Was partition inevitable?* Alternatives to partition* The process of minoritization post independence* The Theory of Hostage Minorities* Nehru's Discovery of India* Territorial aspect of SovereigntyAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Read:Book | The Sovereign Lives of India and Pakistan: Post-Partition Statehood in South Asia by Atul MishraAtul's column on Hindustan TimesArticle | The Many Imaginations of Partition: Lost ideas for India and the neighbourhood by Atul MishraNotes:At 5:26, Atul meant to say "सबसे बड़े जो समूह है उनके अंतर संबंधों को आप पाकिस्तान को ध्यान में रखे बिना आप समझ नहीं सकते।"Reference for Jinnah's quote mentioned by Atul at 01:15:17.

Khyati incorrectly mentions it as the 1880s. In the 1880s, Mill's argument was used by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan to oppose devolution of British power to Indians.Related episodes:पाकिस्तानी मिलिट्री के अनगिनत कारोबार। Pakistan's Military Inc ft.

Welcome to The Spark—your weekly creative pick-me-up from The Creative Boom Podcast. Every Thursday, we bring you a shorter, snappier episode filled with inspiration, creative news, and practical tips to carry you through the week. Whether you need motivation or insights, we've got you covered! This week, host Katy Cowan sat down with Khyati Trehan, a designer and 3D visual artist currently based at Google Creative Lab in New York. Khyati shared a glimpse into one of the most innovative creative spaces in the world—a rare treat! What stood out most was how she juggles working at the cutting edge of technology, collaborating on personal projects like visual designs for her sister's music, and decompressing with reality TV. She opened up about how she avoids burnout while staying energised and inspired, even in the high-pressure environment of Google. Khyati also discussed generative AI, emphasising that while it's a tool to enhance creativity, "writing prompts doesn't make you an artist". For her, AI is a collaborator, not a replacement, expanding what's possible without diminishing the joy of creating. If you've ever wondered how someone can stay ahead and balance so many creative pursuits without losing momentum, this episode is for you! In Creative News this week, Spotify unveiled new features for video podcasting, including ad-free viewing for Premium users and an audience-driven payout model. With over 640 million users, Spotify is rapidly growing its video podcast offerings to rival YouTube. Meanwhile, Bluesky reassured users it won't use content to train generative AI tools, setting it apart from platforms like X. While exploring ways to protect user consent, the platform continues to grow, now hosting 17 million users. And gaming is shifting toward live-service titles, driven by Gen Z's love of social interaction and self-expression. With in-game purchases accounting for 67% of global gaming income in 2023, these games are blurring lines with social media, hosting events like concerts and TV premieres. In The Spotlight this week, we highlight Creative Boom's feature on how design leaders are preparing for 2025. Despite economic challenges, studios are focusing on purpose-driven work, AI as a creative collaborator, and fostering internal culture. Leaders predict a future of meaningful partnerships and sustainable practices, ensuring creative work aligns with both client and employee expectations. Our Book of the Week is WipEout Futurism: The Graphic Archives, a deep dive into the iconic video game that revolutionised gaming and graphic design. With rare concept art and interviews, this book celebrates the groundbreaking work of The Designers Republic and the game's sci-fi-inspired branding. This week's Tip focuses on finding happiness in creative work. Strategies include balancing work with personal life, embracing self-expression, and practising mindfulness. Remember, happiness is a work in progress, built through small, meaningful steps. In our Letters to the Editor, listener Sarah Turner wrote in about this week's guest, Khyati Trehan: "I loved how she described AI as a collaborator. Her perspective reminded me that these tools can enhance creativity rather than diminish it." While Ben Mottershead shared his reflections on last week's chat with Dave Sedgwick: "I resonated deeply with the discussion on rethinking goals. Starting my own agency was a dream, but I realised it's not all it's cracked up to be. I'm now focusing on what truly matters." Don't miss next Monday's episode, where Katy chats with Barrington Reeves, creative director and founder of Too Gallus in Glasgow. They'll explore the shift from traditional agencies to smaller, agile studios and the economic challenges but great opportunities facing the industry. See you then!
In this episode, host Katy Cowan welcomes Khyati Trehan, a designer and 3D visual artist at Google Creative Lab in New York, to share a glimpse into one of the most innovative spaces in the design world. Known for her unique balance of intense creative work and personal projects, Khyati shares the intricacies of her role at Google, a place synonymous with cutting-edge technology and endless experimentation. While she can't disclose everything, Khyati's stories provide an inspiring look at what it's like to be part of a team where creativity knows no bounds. Khyati is constantly creating, whether through her illustration work, collaborations with her sister—who's a musician—or brainstorming sessions in the kitchen with her partner, who also works at Google. She finds a source of energy in her craft that keeps her invigorated rather than drained, turning what could feel like intense pressure into a motivating force. Her ability to stay inspired and eager to learn is a powerful takeaway for anyone navigating the demands of a creative career. During the conversation, Khyati opens up about how she keeps her creativity flowing without falling into burnout, the role of cultural influences in her design work, and the importance of relationships in both her personal and professional life. As someone deeply attuned to the mental and emotional aspects of creative work, she discusses how she uses personal connections and a strong network to sustain her passion. From her reflections on reality TV as a mental escape to her insights on the future of generative AI, Khyati's perspective reveals the many layers of a dynamic and fulfilling creative life. You will gain valuable insights on balancing work and side projects, maintaining a sense of purpose, and finding inspiration in unexpected places. Whether embracing the complexities of relationships, exploring the limitless possibilities of generative AI, or simply learning to find joy in the process, Khyati offers a refreshing reminder of why creativity is such a rewarding journey. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to find harmony in their own creative path while making space for continual growth and innovation.

For the next few days, you can listen to a couple of stories every single day.And That's because on our podcast we will have some special storytellers!! We have middle and high school students who through the summer have been learning about how to craft their own stories and then produce them on a podcast.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/podcast-summer-camp Let's give a warm welcome AryahiTranscriptAdventures in a boxOnce upon a time Khyati, Diya, Anaya, and Aarna. These 4 friends were sitting peacefully in the park and enjoying the gentle breeze with the melodious chirping of the birds. Suddenly a man dropped a big box in front of them.It was a regular brown cardboard box and before the friends could ask, the man vanished. Everybody opened the box together and Anaya saw a note saying “FINISH THIS GAME IN ONE HOUR and GOOD LUCK YOU NEED IT” Everyone gasped. They all stuck their head in the box, which didn't contain anything. Wpoosh! They all got sucked in. The first place they landed was a thick forest. They all were scared and shocked. Then a hologram appeared in the air. They all read out loud, “If you want to live in a place even hotter, go to a place where you can find more water” Aarna screamed, “ The pond a place where you can find more water!” They all sprinted to the pond and saw a big chest.. unfortunately, they saw a lion guarding a treasure chest. There were also balloons tied around the chest and a note saying, “Figure out the code or this lion will eat you.”So they popped the balloons and there were alphabet letters inside each balloon. They unscrambled the letters to make a word and typed the code on the lock of the chest Khyati said “Yes it worked!Now, inside the chest was another clue, “If you want to go to a place that is free go to a place with more trees.” They all screamed monkey habitat. They ran there and they saw a portal. The portal was blue and oval shaped so they remembered that(remembered??). They jumped in and landed in a small village. But now the problem was they didn't see any clue and they didn't know anything about the village. they started roaming around and asking for directions(to where??). But sooner than later they were lost.Frustrated and exhausted they kept roaming around. But when they reached the pond the clue appeared again(where?). It said “Since this is a place that is very hot go to an area where things don't rot”. They all screamed the farm! They looked at each other in a confused state, “ which farm?” they exclaimed together. They tried asking everyone but it was hopeless. Until they ran into the farm itself. They went inside and the farmer angrily told them to leave. The farmer said, “Hey, why are you on my farm? Don't you have anything else to do?” But before that, they jumped into the portal.(are the farm and the portal side by side??) They reached home (you should not reach home before completing the bom]nus level)there was a man saying, “Congratulations you have completed the first four levels but now you have to complete the bonus level.” Diya shouted, “Oh come on we completed all these levels now you are giving us a bonus level?” Everyone was having mixed emotions about this. Their forehead furrowed, their legs went jelly, and their mouth parched. Then Anaya said, “Anything for going home guys.”Then she told the conductor, “We will play”. So they saw a portal and jumped in. They suddenly appeared in Dubai! They were all shocked, happy, and thrilled. Khyati said, “We finally visited Dubai!” They all hugged each other and jumped around until Diya said, “Guys focus I know we finally visited Dubai but we have to solve the clues to get home.” Everyone agreed. Then the host made the next clue appear with his magic it said, “Since this is a city where the season now is fall go to the building that is very tall”. They all screamed together “Burj Khalifa”. Now their main problem was everyone here speaks Arabic and they can't understand the language. So they kept walking for hours and hours, their legs started hurting and they were struggling to walk. So late at night they entered the hotel and slept on the couches at the reception. Then when they woke up in the morning they asked the receptionist to help book a cab for them and tell the driver that they had to go to the Burj Khalifa. But once they reached the Burj Khalifa they were forbidden to use the lift so they took the stairs all the way to the top. Then the game conductor handed over parachutes to them and asked them to jump down. They all were very frightened but they just closed their eyes and jumped down. While falling down they entered a box that sucked them in and they reached home. “Home sweet home” they all shouted unanimously. They were so happy that they reached home and they all finally relaxed. Then they made a promise to each other that they would never again pick up any unclaimed object!

कहते है न कि पब्लिक पॉलिसी में अक्सर पब्लिक ही गायब रहती है। इसलिए हमारी कोशिश रहती है कि किसी तरह लोगों की लोकनीति में रुचि बढ़ाई जाए । पुलियाबाज़ी भी उसी दिशा में एक कदम है। अब इस श्रृंखला में एक और कड़ी जुड़ चुकी है—ख्याति, प्रणय और अनुपम की नयी किताब ‘We, the Citizens' जो लोकनीति के मुश्किल पाठ चित्रों के द्वारा आसान भाषा में सीखाने की कोशिश करती है। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी इसी किताब और उसके पीछे की कहानी पर। This week on Puliyabaazi, Khyati and Pranay share the story behind their new book ‘We, the Citizens'. What was the idea behind the book? What was the process to bring it to life? Also, Khyati shares her journey as a comic illustrator, from drawing short comics for introverts to a fully illustrated 180-pager on public policy.[Book] We, the Citizens: Strengthening the Indian RepublicKhyati's Tech-stack for creating comics:Drawing Tablet: Huion Kamvas 13, Software: Sketchbook, Layout: Adobe Indesign***** more Puliyabaazi related to comics and animation ****** सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता की परिचित-अपरिचित बातें। The People of the Indus ft.

Hey Everybody! We are back for our first episode of 2024! In January we sat down with multi-hyphenate design chameleon Khyati Trehan. She opened up about all things living-while-designing, including how she doesn't have hobbies, but is slowly realizing that they could help. She also explained how her passion for her work runs through all her activities, and how she juggles (or struggles to juggle) a strong personal output with esteemed positions at Google and IDEO. Khyati's wide-ranging career(s) have brought her around the world, from Ahmedabad to San Jose to New Delhi to Berlin to Munich to New York City, where for the past year she has resided. Khyati shares how her genuine love of work and her passion to learn new things keeps her attached at the hip to her laptop, exploring the ongoing question of what a healthy relationship to work is. She describes how she very uniquely blends her experiments in her personal work with professional projects that have more specific briefs. It all melds seamlessly together, informing the other and vice versa.But she's also realizing that spending all one's time working isn't always the best for the mind and body. We were happy to have the space to unpack these thoughts with Khyati, to talk about burnout and self doubt, and also to give weight to the challenges she's faced asserting herself as a woman designer. We are really happy to share this conversation! Thanks so much for chatting with us, Khyati! We have several more coming down the pipeline. Always appreciate the support! Stay tuned for new updates and new episodes soon.With Love,Drew and James This is a public episode.

16th July is World snake day - 4 days from today when this episode is released and on this occasion, we are doing a case study of Snake-a-doo, a board game about Snakes and Snake-bites. More than a million people have died due to snakebites in India in the past 20 years. “Snake-a-doo” is an original take on the conventional snakes and ladders game, only this time without any ladders (it only has snakes). It is geared towards education on 9 snake species commonly found in India including the 4 main venomous ones. Today we have Peeyush Sekhsaria who conceptualised the game and Khyati Pathak who designed it. Peeyush has a Masters's in Earthen Architecture from CRATerre, France, and an M.Phil in Geography from the Sorbonne, Paris. He is currently based out of Delhi working as a Consultant in the domains of Environment, Disaster Management, and Development. Khyati is a writer and a cartoonist. Passionate about policy frameworks and also the host of Puliyabaazi Podcast. Before we begin, I also want to call out the team who have designed this game with careful messaging, attractive colors, good photographs, and in the tradition of a good board game that will be fun and learning at the same time. Shubham Sayanke, Jose Louis, Parikshit Suryavanshi, Shashi Jha, and Vivek Sharma. Snake-a-doo has been brought to you by Indiansnakes.org and WASA Amravati. 50% of the profit from your purchase goes to support WASA, Amravati's work in education on snakes and snake bite reduction, and 50% goes to support copies of the game for local groups.

Global Policy Watch: Bailout Pe Bailout Pe BailoutInsights on global policy issues relevant to India— RSJWhere do I start this week? Maybe with a spot of self-promotion. Pranay and I were guests on the popular Hindi podcast Puliyaabazi. I have been a long-time fan, so it was nice to be a guest there. Pranay usually co-hosts this with Saurabh and Khyati, but this time, he was on the other side. I felt a bit like Uday Chopra, who is only in the film because he is the producer's brother. Anyway, I think a good time was had by all as we covered a wide variety of topics - Enlightenment and why it didn't happen in India (short answer: there wasn't any need, really), why we write this newsletter (majboori) and the usual quota of Bastiat, Smith and Rorty (showing off). Do listen if you have time (of course, you do).Moving on. Here is a quick run-through of what's gone on since my last post. Another US regional bank, Signature Bank, stared into the abyss with depositors making a run to withdraw their money as analysts looked around for large unrealised losses sitting on banks' balance sheets. Fed officials spent their weekend hawking the other failed bank, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), to potential buyers. But who in their right mind will buy out a troubled bank in these times? More so after all the trouble that the likes of JP Morgan Chase had buying out such banks during the financial crisis of 2009. Running out of options, the Fed, the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced an unprecedented bailout of all depositors of SVB and any other bank that will be in a similar hole in future. Simply put, FDIC will guarantee all deposits and not just those below $250,000 for which there's insurance. To be sure, the equity shareholders and those holding unsecured corporate bonds won't be bailed out. They will lose their shirts. So, this isn't a repeat of the 2009 bailouts. The Fed then went a step further to address the root cause of the problem. Banks are sitting on huge held-to-maturity (HTM) losses on the securities they hold because the interest rates have moved too far up too quickly. And they have a liquidity issue if there are continued withdrawals from the depositors. If they sell their securities today to meet their commitments to give depositors their money when they ask for it, they will have to sell them at a loss. This substantial loss will mean they will need to raise capital from shareholders to keep themselves solvent as per Fed requirements. But who will give them money in this market? Uninsured depositors who play out this game-theory scenario in their minds will therefore withdraw more of their money. Ideally, if they play the scenario right as a collective, they shouldn't. But as individuals, they will make a run on the bank. Soon, the bank will be in a death spiral, and this is what happened at SVB and Signature Banks. The last-minute solution devised by Fed was the creation of what's termed the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). Here's how Fed sees BTFP:“The additional funding will be made available through the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), offering loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. These assets will be valued at par. The BTFP will be an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities, eliminating an institution's need to quickly sell those securities in times of stress.With approval of the Treasury Secretary, the Department of the Treasury will make available up to $25 billion from the Exchange Stabilization Fund as a backstop for the BTFP. The Federal Reserve does not anticipate that it will be necessary to draw on these backstop funds.”If you didn't have any background to this situation and just read the above note from the Fed, you'd be forgiven if you thought here was a central bank of a developing world economy figuring out a short-term jugaad to solve a crisis at hand. But the Fed didn't just stop here. After all, like the Queen in Through The Looking Glass, it can believe in six impossible things before breakfast. Leaving their struggles to find a buyer for Signature Bank behind, they put together a unique Barjatya style “hum saath saath hain” deal and nudged a number of banks to do their bit to shore up confidence in the banking system: (as CNBC reports)“A group of financial institutions has agreed to deposit $30 billion in First Republic in what's meant to be a sign of confidence in the banking system, the banks announced Thursday afternoon.Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase will contribute about $5 billion apiece, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will deposit around $2.5 billion, the banks said in a news release. Truist, PNC, U.S. Bancorp, State Street and Bank of New York Mellon will deposit about $1 billion each.“This action by America's largest banks reflects their confidence in First Republic and in banks of all sizes, and it demonstrates their overall commitment to helping banks serve their customers and communities,” the group said in a statement.“This show of support by a group of large banks is most welcome, and demonstrates the resilience of the banking system,” The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in a joint statement.”Remind me now, sometime in the past, I have accused Indian policymakers of what's called isomorphic mimicry. It is a concept developed by Lant Pritchett et al to explain the tendency of governments to mimic other governments' successes, replicating processes, systems, and even products of the “best practice” examples without actually developing the functionality of the institutions they are imitating. Policymaking in developing countries often falls prey to this. A good example of this is imitating the green energy policies implemented in Sweden (a $60,000 per capita economy) in India (a $2000 per capita economy) which has neither the state capacity to implement nor the public readiness to accept such policies. Why am I bringing up isomorphic mimicry here? Well, because I never imagined a day shall dawn when the US policymakers take a leaf out of what India did when faced with a crisis. What the Fed did to save Signature Bank is isomorphic mimicry flowing the other way. To refresh your memory, here's a Business Standard report (Mar 13, 2020) on what the Finance Ministry and RBI did to save Yes Bank in 2020:“Hours after the Cabinet approved reconstruction scheme for YES Bank, private lenders ICICI Bank, HDFC, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Axis Bank came to the cash-strapped bank's rescue. While the SBI had earlier announced its decision to purchase 49 per cent shares, both ICICI Bank and HDFC are set to invest Rs 1000 crore each with Axis Bank pouring Rs 600 crore to pick up 60 crore shares of the troubled lender and Kotak Mahindra infusing an equity capital of Rs 500 crore under the RBI's bailout plan.The developments took place soon after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that other investors were also being invited.”I guess one way to look at this is if you let fiscal dominance become the central canon of how you manage your economic policy, you will eventually reach the same place as other economies (mostly developing) that have indulged in the same for years. The monetary authorities in the U.S. have been accommodating the fiscal profligacy of the treasury for years. This was accentuated during the pandemic. Trillions of dollars were pumped in to save the economy. I'm not sure how much the economy needed saving then. But that bill has come now. First in the shape of inflation, followed by rapid, unprecedented rate hikes and the inevitable accidents that are showing up now. Almost certainly, a recession will follow. Isomorphic mimicry of Latin American monetary policy indeed. Anyway, that was not the only bailout of the week. We also had Credit Suisse almost going under in a bad case of deja vu to those who have seen 2009. Here's CNBC on this:“Credit Suisse announced it will be borrowing up to 50 billion Swiss francs ($53.68 billion) from the Swiss National Bank under a covered loan facility and a short-term liquidity facility.The decision comes shortly after shares of the lender fell sharply Wednesday, hitting an all-time low for a second consecutive day after its top investor Saudi National Bank was quoted as saying it won't be able to provide further assistance. The latest steps will “support Credit Suisse's core businesses and clients as Credit Suisse takes the necessary steps to create a simpler and more focused bank built around client needs,” the company said in an announcement.In addition, the bank is making a cash tender offer in relation to ten U.S. dollar denominated senior debt securities for an aggregate consideration of up to $2.5 billion – as well as a separate offer to four Euro denominated senior debt securities for up to an aggregate 500 million euros, the company said.”What's that word that starts with C and was used a lot during the pandemic? Well, that C word is knocking at the doors of global finance right now. It is not a contagion yet. But the odds of it happening have significantly gone up in the past week.I will close this by covering the two discussion themes emerging from these events. First, what happens to the hawkish stance the Fed had taken a couple of weeks back on more rapid rate hikes in the light of inflation being sticky and inflation expectations being anchored? This, as I have written earlier, is of real interest to India and its policymaking stance. The Fed is in an absolute bind now before its meeting on Wednesday to take a call on rates. A rate hike in the current environment will make the weak banks look even more vulnerable despite the deposit backstop and the additional liquidity available from BTFP. And who knows what other accidents are lurking that will show up as the rates go higher? Does the Fed want to risk financial instability? On the other hand, inflation is real, and it is an election year. Runaway inflation will mean the eventual taming of it, and the recession that will follow will be hard and long. Who wants to preside over that? I see almost zero chance of a rate hike in this cycle. The Fed might wait till May to resume raising rates after it has weathered this risk of banking contagion and waiting for the April inflation data. But even then, the core problem remains. Further rate hikes will expose weak players, and that will mean we will have accidents. So long as they are small and contained, it is worth the risk of raising rates. But who can predict the nature of the accidents?Second, there's some kind of war that's broken out on social media on who is responsible for the collapse of SVB and Signature. There are those who believe it is the Fed whose actions over the past three years are solely responsible for the situation we are in now. The crux of the argument is that the Fed forecasts the interest rate and then it sets the rate. Banks take bets on long-term securities based on these forecasts. This is called duration risk. If the Fed then sets the rate that's so far removed from their own forecasts, what do poor treasury folks in Banks do? Plus, it is the Fed that has been making the rules since the GFC to direct a whole lot of bank liquidity into the purchase of long-term government bonds. The whole system is rigged by the Fed, and when things go wrong, it cannot pontificate on the risk management practices of banks. The counter to this is that the Fed only puts out an interest forecast based on the data (esp on inflation) that's available. When the incoming data changes, its forecast changes. This deviation is in a narrow band in usual times. In unusual times like what we've been through in the past two years, you may have a bigger variance. Banks have multiple ways to hedge duration risks. Instead of looking at the Fed to apportion blame, one should look at how conveniently the depositors of SVB - the VCs, startups and other cool people - jumped ship at the first sign of trouble when they know such a collective deposit withdrawal will make the situation worse. It is incredibly stupid of this deposit base that prides itself on its ability to see further, take long-term bets and dimension risks better than others, that it could not have the patience to stand by a bank that has served them well. The problem of SVB bank, according to this lot, is they were over-reliant on a lopsided deposit base, and that deposit base acted most stupidly. I think both these debates are going to rage on for some time. The Fed has slipped down the path where it has allowed fiscal dominance to overrule prudent policymaking. It is quite difficult to retrieve ground from there unless you have a Fed Chair with the intellectual heft and drive to restore balance. Equally, asset liability matching (ALM) is a core responsibility of banks. They are supposed to diversify their base of customers, monitor duration risks, and stress-test their balance sheet. All the strutting around as a cool disruptive bank or hanging out with your clients should not distract you from that fundamental truth. You take your eye off it, you veer off the road.

Price is a vital signal, a decentralised coordination mechanism between producers and consumers. And so, when governments prohibit its functioning, bizarre things happen. Let's analyse the consequences of price distortion using an ongoing situation — the milk shortage in Karnataka. A bit of background to set things up. Milk is an ‘essential' commodity. Its essentiality is not just a matter of fact or reason but also a carte blanche for Indian governments to regulate the production, supply, and distribution of any commodity that is classified as essential under the Essential Commodities Act (ECA), 1955. In practical terms, it means that the government fixes procurement prices, caps consumer prices, and often owns and runs everything that lies between these the producer and the consumer.So is the case with milk in most states, including Karnataka. The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is a dairy cooperative under the Department of Cooperation, Government of Karnataka. It procures nearly 50 per cent of all the milk that is produced in the state. It sells products under the brand name Nandini. Nearly 50 per cent of its consumption happens in the capital, Bengaluru. Government ownership complicates and comicalises the situation in a way that can only be equalled by a Priyadarshan comic flick. See, for instance, what has happened due to a milk supply chain disruption over the last few weeks. As the summer began early this year, the demand for milk rose sharply. A glass of majjige (buttermilk) or lassi is a wonderful refresher in the heat. Simultaneously, the supply drops in the summer months. Natural adaptation dictates that animals produce less milk than usual in the heat. A bout of lumpy skin disease has further exacerbated the gap between demand and supply this year. For an ordinary product, a rise in prices would iron out this demand-supply gap quickly. With an increase in prices, consumers will rationalise consumption, while the producers will work harder to increase the supply. But when governments own the supply chain, price rises are defenestrated, and a chain of bizarre events emerges.First, electoral concerns circle over pricing decisions like vultures. In this particular case, the government will not touch the price caps with a barge pole because the Karnataka elections are due in May. So the government tries to increase prices in a roundabout way: increase the maximum retail price (MRP) but offer a reduced quantity of milk for the same packet price.Second, shortages abound. Since the administered price rises have not done enough to make the demand-supply gap go away, milk shortages have emerged. The rich can well afford to buy premium milk at higher prices from other suppliers. But for the poor, the milk packets disappear. Instead of paying a slightly higher price until the supply rises again, the less-privileged consumers are left only with an empty glass.Third, the government resorts to blaming private businesses. Someone has to be blamed, and as so often happens in India, businesses get the flak. See this report in The Hindu, which casually places the blame on private players who are now willing to offer higher prices to the dairies and farmers. The report says:“Private players purchasing milk from the retail market to sustain their businesses in milk products is said to be causing a disruption…“He also said private dairies were procuring milk directly from farmers in rural areas by offering a higher price, thus reducing the union's procurement.”We should have been celebrating private players that are offering a better deal to farmers, given the scarcity. Instead, they have become villains. And fourth, a quotidian issue becomes a front for inter-state tensions. The Karnataka government blames dairies in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu for offering higher prices to farmers within Karnataka, while the Tamil Nadu government is blaming private companies from Andhra Pradesh!Funny, the kinds of things that happen when the government enters and obstructs a control system called “prices”.Even as this satire unfolds, the root cause of the milk shortages isn't even being talked about. The Bangalore Milk Union president admitted that “many small milk producers have given up on rearing cows as it has become unsustainable”. Though he doesn't mention the underlying reason for this change, the bans on cow slaughter and recent attacks on people transporting cattle surely have reduced the incentives for farmers from stepping into this minefield called milk production.

Today's episode comes all the way from Nepal, where a young girl had big dreams like any other. Her doting family moved across cities and states, all for the sake of their daughter's promising future, until that young girl got a phone call that changed her life forever. Soon after, her parents got a phone call too -- a call that shattered the life they had built and all the happiness within it. This is the story of that young girl. This is the story of Khyati Shreshtha.

WE'RE BACK!! And we got an incredible book discussion for you on "Tell me how to be" by Neel Patel. Tell me how to be is a story about Akash, an Indian American who lives in LA. He feels an immense shame and guilt about being gay. When his mother tells him she is selling the family home, Akash must return to Illinois to confront his demons and the painful memory of a sexual awakening that became a nightmare. Akash's mum, Renu, is also plagued by guilt. She had it all: doting husband, beautiful house, healthy sons. But as the one-year anniversary of her husband's death approaches Renu can't stop wondering if she chose the wrong life thirty-five years ago and should have stayed in London with her first love. In this episode, Daman and Khyati discuss these issues plaguing the Indian society - homophobia, male ego and the gender roles. Anyone who tries to trespass these is ostracized from their families and from their communities. You can tell us your stories of how you questioned these gender roles and homophobia in your own way.

For the Season Finale, I went around the world and down into my memory to pick the highlights of this season. What I learnt, what I discovered, what I was impressed about. There is no bittersweet taste in getting to the end of a season. In fact, it is exciting to look back and remember all the amazing women that crossed my path. After the hard to forget year of 2020, my goal was to bring to light in 2021, the stories of what are now almost 2 years of this pandemic, but more importantly, how each of us is looking to lift ourselves up, look forward and face life stronger and together. As for me, 2021 was a year of multiple wins and also some bumps on road for women around the world. What have I learnt in this journey? Yael Melamed Yael helped me open up the season by talking to us about the importance of letting go of control. It is hard to envisage life without control. Control of schedules, conversations, moments, words. In fact, Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks argues that all that we fill our lives with is precisely because we fear death. In 2020, in one way or another, we learnt (mostly the hard way) that in fact, we have very little control. And, in 2021, we probably didn't go with Yael's suggestion of letting go (or Frozen's suggestion for that matter). We went with another slogan instead and sought to take back control. How did that work out for you? Francesca Geens I had been following Francesca for a while. In fact, we had been users of her amazing "Happy Self" gratitude journal for kids. Little Girl C has benefited greatly from it and even Baby S has his own. Given my great passion for the practice of gratitude, meeting Francesca for the podcast in early 2021, as I braced myself for what I hoped was the end of the pandemic, was just great. Francesca started studying the science of happiness the more she heard about people, especially children being depressed. And if you are thinking this is just a pandemic fashion, let me stop you there. Francesca launched her business in 2018. Did you know that scientists have actually been able to measure the impact of a gratitude practice in our brain? Amy Williams Amy was a perfect guest to follow my goal of women empowerment, as the platform she has created "Fem Foundry", is dedicated precisely to this. Amy was a fighter of the pandemic. She launched a platform dedicated to all parts of being a woman, whatever that definition means to people. In fact, she Is focused on avoiding labels and reducing women to a single role. Amy thought she always had great resilience but she admitted that this brought her resilience to a whole other level. Amy found higher barriers, higher hurdles and more shut doors. Catarina Gorgulho Catarina had been wanting to be an entrepreneur for a while, to have something hers, that she could look and feel and, ideally, that would be aligned with her passion for wellness. Funny enough, compared to other entrepreneurs I have met, the product came last. And it was as simple as Lupin Beans. Catarina. Pedro and Alice have really worked on bringing a new face to Lupin Beans through Tarwi. As they set up a business through the pandemic, I was curious to know how to launch a dream like this during a time like this! With a good knowledge of social media, they launched with the people. This proximity of brands and people brought about by lockdown was already known to me by prior episodes of the podcast. But the result here was extraordinary. They were stocked out whenever they were back in stock! Jessica Postiglione Jessica and I went to school together in the US. She is now on her second start-up past corporate life and we had a conversation about the journey. A hot topic is always about the move from corporate life into entrepreneurship. She reminds us that there is never a right time. After her first start-up came soul-searching and just then the pandemic hit. As she tried to keep herself mentally and physically fit, her company was born. And if you think she was just in ideation mode through the pandemic, not quite! In fact, I will never forget she actually had her first factory tour over facetime. There was no stopping her determination. Kirsten Robinson Kerstin decided to leave the corporate finance life to create her business. As Catarina, she had a few ideas but not THE idea. She ended up making juice. They tried flavours, put them in cafes and hung around to see what people thought. A bit of stalking arguably, however humble in approach. Step by step, they were ready to expand. And as the pandemic hit, the multi-channel approach protected them from the hit (or part of it) and their customer appeal led them to close an oversubscribed round of crowdfunding. Jenna Stein Jenna founded Berlin Clothing Swap out of her own need to get clothes in an affordable and sustainable way. As we moved to a more personal conversation, there were quite a few bits that stuck with me. As we debated life past pandemic. Jenna did reiterate how important it was to learn that it is OK to say no. There will always be another party. Khyati Sundaram Khyati was yet another financier Fellow that left into the unknown and without a clear path ahead, For the podcast, we focused on her start-up number 2, as she realised her resume did not fit after leaving start-up number 1. It is no surprise she joined Applied, focused on removing bias from the recruitment process. The focus is on skills alone. To this day Khyati has given me what I still think is one of my favourite quotes. Be as Water. Joana Dias da Cunha Joana runs the impact business Fair Bazaar, aligned with her mission to educate and inspire. Again, I found an amazing woman that decided not to stay still in the face of a problem. In her case, It was a movie that woke her up to the damage of fast fashion. Running the company has been a multi-stage adventure and one that is still very much moving. The pandemic forced store shutdowns, but also created the opportunity for her to grow her online business, launch Fair News and grow her education practice. Zeze Oriaikhi-Sao Malee is Africa's First global Luxury fragrance and body care brand. Zeze describes herself as multi-hyphenated. To this podcast, I had not realized the presence of multiple hyphens in my life. But the way that Zeze described it was what grabbed my attention. In a time when I was truly thinking how I needed to drop hyphens, she called it limitless. As I close. l think I want to stick to ZEZE's advice to all Of us. Be bold, what is the worse that can happen? I am grateful for this journey and grateful for the women that made it what it became. For the ability to find growth, for the ability to lift themselves up, for their authenticity and willingness to share, Produced by Alice Stansfield
In 2009, 19 year old Khyati Shrestha received a call announcing her the lucky winner of a cash prize & a free vacation, she just had to come give an interview to claim it. She was never seen alive after that day. Listen to this tragic tale of greed, misdeeds & the devastating murder that left Nepal enraged & traumatized for decades.

Personal reflection on issues of prejudice, bias, and cultural insensitivity is key to improving teaching. At any season of the teaching career new considerations for equity is possible. This conversation with the author of White Christian Privilege: The Illusion of Religious Equality in America challenges our vocational, curricular, and personal conventions and suggests resources for social justice standards in teaching.
Are the standard hiring practices we use fair and do they truly give us the best candidates for each role? Khyati Sundaram's answer to this is no and she says it's time to leave CVs and biased hiring practices behind. Khyati is the CEO of Applied, an all-in-one hiring platform that uses behavioural science-backed techniques for fair and de-biased hiring. We discuss: Why CVs are no longer fit for purpose The importance of gender-neutral language to attracting women applicants How unconscious bias negatively impacts recruitment Why skills-based interviews are the way forward The importance of hiring for values and mission over cultural fit Khyati also gives some practical tips at the end for leaders working in smaller organisations who are responsible for hiring their own teams. MORE ABOUT KHAYTI Khyati Sundaram is the CEO of Applied, which helps companies remove bias from hiring processes by removing gendered words from job adverts, anonymising applications, holding structured interviews and hiring based on skills (rather than proxies on CVs). In her former life, Khyati co-founded and led an AI company looking at sustainable supply chains and worked in investment banking with JP Morgan and RBS. She has a breadth of experience in data science, product development, and fundraising.

As I listen to the podcast I recorded with Khyati, I immediately get transported back to those last days in London before my big move. Khyati is an energetic inspiring woman, committed to changing what she sees wrong and going through the challenges life throws at her. Khyati is the CEO of Applied, after having founded (and closed) her own start-up Fosho post her Corporate Finance life. Leaving Corporate Life One day, Khyati looked around and found out she was not finding a path ahead in Investment Banking. Thinking about the future, she realized those 4-walls did not bear her dreams. As a reflective and impatient person, she believes she jumps into things before she is even ready. So when she left, she did not know exactly what she was going to do. "Ideas are a dime a dozen" After 2 years back to school she tried different ideas, put some through incubators, passed her ideas through people on the street and really went on an immersive experience. She ended up creating Fosho, an AI-based, machine-learning platform for sustainable supply chains. But it was too early, and after initial traction, the company did not scale. Back to the recruitment market After Fosho, Khyati went through an inflection point as she looked to go back to the market. She had decided not to go to big corporate, but she also did not have any other ideas to get started. When she started applying for jobs, it was devastating. Khyati estimates she must have applied for more than 200 jobs. As she spent hours working on her CV and cover letter she got told (when she got an answer): "You didn't fit" This message kept getting repeated back to her. And that is when Khyati realized that the recruitment market was broken. It was surprising, but also heart-breaking. Unfortunately, Khyati's story is not unique. Finding Applied This experience defined her journey in finding a company that would value her skills and the things that really matter on the job. She joined to run product and after a year became the CEO of the company. If you were wondering what company hired her on the basis of skills? Applied is an end-to-end hiring platform that uses 50 years of research about hiring, evidence-based information rather than proxies. Applied provides a better structure for decision making and has had so far over 350 thousand applications in their platform. The company tests exclusively on skills and have built a unique database that is de-biased. How? The candidate receives a questionnaire rather than sending in their resume. And the outcomes are anonymised and randomised in multiple ways to ensure there are no flawed signals in the process and to avoid drawing any inferences about the candidate - you can only focus on skills. Can you see how I could go on talking about this company for hours? CEO into the Pandemic Khyati became the CEO of Applied a month before the pandemic hit. And what was her first job? To close a fundraise. She barely remembers that first month of Covid-19 as she was so absorbed in ensuring the company had enough money. After the close, she was shocked about how the business was getting hit and losing customers. They took a bet that hiring would normalize but imagined it would take at least 18 months. As such, they went into a cash conservation strategy, most unusual after closing a fundraising round. It worked out and the company became self-sustainable during that time and is now ready to invest as recruitment has re-opened. Life in the Pandemic Khyati was in London for lockdown and that was a difficult time. I was impressed to find out that she replaced her commute time with meditation time, rather than just working more, as many of the women I interviewed or encountered (self-included). During the times at home, (other than her family) she missed her gym and the routine it gave her. She worked out new routines into her day to help her with it. Whilst the pandemic brought a lot of loneliness, it also allowed her to go on a personal journey which included more meditation and long walks to give her more grounding. She hopes to keep that in a post-pandemic environment. One of the tools she used to help her keep going with her exercise and self-care was an accountability buddy, which ensured she would not back out of it on the harder days. The part she could not manage as well was dealing with the distance from family, despite all the virtual encounters. Travel is the only solution! As we finished and I thought I had so much out of the podcast, Khyati hit me with a quote that I seem to forget often (as she does). Be as water. After this amazing story, there was no better title for the podcast.

In this episode, Daman & Khyati discuss the complexities of caste in India and racism in America, and how they are the two sides of the same coin. This discussion brings up several important issues, including the gatekeeping by dominant castes, normalized yet unfair behaviors, and also how understanding this framework allows us to understand other caste systems, which are more popularly called the "-isms", including sexism, and ableism. They also discuss the 2016 election and the rise of hate crimes in America, the power struggle that was behind several events, and the connection between caste and race. About the book: Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today. In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people's lives and behavior and the nation's fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including the divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. www.browngirlsread.com - instagram.com/browngirlsreadpod - twitter.com/browngirlsread1 - linktr.ee/browngirlsread --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/browngirlsread/message
Programming Note: We will be taking off next week. We will return on Aug 22.Not(PolicyWTF): Retrospective Admission Of A MistakeThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?- RSJOn Thursday, the Finance Minister tabled the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 which sought to scrap the tax claims raised on the back of an amendment to the Income Tax Act brought about by the UPA-2 government in May 2012. The 2012 amendment was meant to prevent business entities incorporated in offshore locations but deriving most of their value from the Indian market to merge or acquire control in one another without paying capital gains taxes. This was seen as a loophole in the tax laws and the amendment was meant to plug it. All good with that. Except there was a small clause in there. The amendment was to be applied to past transactions too. The tax was to be retrospective in nature.Why Retrospective Taxes Are BadWe have written about the problem with retrospective taxation in a previous edition. We made three key points then.One, retrospective taxation is unfair and goes against what Adam Smith called the ‘canon of uncertainty’. I wrote earlier:The Canon of Certainty as set out by Smith states:“The time of payment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor and to every other person.”Retrospective taxation goes against this principle of fairness. It taxes a transaction that’s happened prior to law being framed. In the bigger picture, it is a human right violation since the state cannot remove a right without a transitional period. Two, there’s a legitimate reason to tax retrospectively. It is to avoid what’s called ‘forestalling’ – the practice of taxpayers acting to avoid the impact of a change in tax laws before it can take effect. Now, it is possible to nip this practice by making the tax changes applicable almost immediately upon their announcement. But this isn’t practical all the time. There are laws that need Parliamentary approval or change in systems and processes that could take time. Therefore, in most cases, there is always a lag between a tax change announcement and its effective date of implementation. This is what gives rise to forestalling. And that’s the reason lawmakers opt for retrospective tax laws.But there’s a fair way to do this. In the UK, the ‘Rees Rules’ are a set of four conditions that must be satisfied for any retrospective tax legislation to be considered fair:“A warning in the House of Commons by some recognised method – either by an answer to a Parliamentary Question or by some statement with plans to legislate in the subsequent Finance Bill back to the date of that warning. The warning must be precise in form. A mere suggestion that there are vague schemes of tax avoidance that must be counted should not suffice.”Secondly, the problem at which the warning has been directed should immediately be referred to a committee to devise the precise legislative measures which should then be introduced in the parliament.Thirdly, if the committee can hit on appropriate legislative provision, the draft clause ... should immediately be published in advance of the Finance Bill so that those who are likely to be in the field of fire will have a second clear intimation of what to expect.Fourthly, such a clause must, without fail, be introduced in the following Finance Bill to formalise it into lawIn the Vodafone case, it is clear there wasn’t a semblance of Rees Rules that was followed. This is what made it perverse. That the law had a loophole that allowed Vodafone and Hutchison to avoid taxes wasn’t their fault. They can’t be blamed for it. Had they known of the tax, the contours of the deal or the deal itself could come into question? Three, I had predicted in that edition that the Indian government will continue to battle these cases till it starts getting adverse judgments. The rationale was simple. It had come this far with a terrible piece of legislation. What’s there more to lose? Why not see how far it goes and then decide?Well, things went from bad to worse since then. Cairn Energy, which was also sent a retrospective tax demand of over Rs. 10,000 crores in March 2015 went to an international arbitration tribunal over the issue. In December last year, the tribunal overturned the retrospective tax and asked India to refund Rs. 8800 crores that the government had expropriated from Cairn’s entity in India plus interest and legal costs to Cairn Energy. The company since then has been busy. It got the tribunal award registered in multiple jurisdictions and threatened the seizure of Indian assets overseas. This had gone being beyond embarrassing.Don’t Hold Your Breath On ChangeChurchill had once said: “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have tried everything else.” He might have been speaking about India too. We have finally scrapped an amendment that brought us no additional net tax revenues and a lot of infamy as an investment destination low on rule of law. Of course, we have seen an inflow of foreign capital through FPIs and investments in digital startups over the past decade. But we haven’t had investments in sectors where we truly needed long-term capital like infrastructure, energy and industrial goods because of a lack of faith in the Indian regulatory environment. This has been a self-goal like no other. We could have gotten rid of this a long time back. There are two questions now. Is this enough to dispel the misgivings about the arbitrary nature of the Indian state on taxation? Have we learnt the right lessons from the retrospective tax episode? I’m not sanguine about either for a few reasons.Firstly, the political class in India loves painting the MNC as the enemy of India. We are forever paranoid about another ‘East India Company’ colonising us. The reactions from the opposition parties to this amendment has been predictable. We have ceded our sovereign rights to tax retrospectively apparently. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to the government. They have been using the sovereign rights and ‘digital colonialism’ arguments for the past few months on the Big Tech companies. The shoe is on the other foot now. So, this is not any philosophical change of course for India. It is a mere face-saving retreat. Secondly, our growth that has stalled since demonetisation has a direct bearing on the revenues of the state. Since the expenditure continues to grow and we aren’t too keen on widening the deficit or monetising it, the state will continue to find innovative ways to raise revenues. The pandemic has only queered the pitch further. This almost always means more arbitrary tax demands to raise revenues. There are already early signs of this with various states and the union sending GST notices and raking up ancient cases with companies across the board. Both Indian and global capital have learnt to live with this and have calibrated their exposure to India based on this risk. The scrapping of retrospective taxation alone will not move the needle for them. We will continue to hear paeans from global industry leaders about our markets, enterprising spirit and our reform-oriented government. But words are cheap. Lastly, as they often say, in India the legal process is the punishment itself. The Vodafone Hutchison deal was done in 2007. The tax dispute started soon after and after the SC ruled in favour of Vodafone, the retrospective tax amendment was passed in the Lok Sabha in 2012. The Cairn Energy deal was done in 2006. It has taken 15 years to achieve some kind of closure after years of litigations and appeals in India and across global tribunals. Cairn has since sold its interests in India and left it for good. Vodafone (Vodafone Idea now) is on the edge in India with debts of over Rs. 2 lakh crores and multiple demands of revenue share from the DoT under litigation. With neither of the promoters interested in supporting it with further capital, it is quite likely it will go under making the Indian telecom market a duopoly.So, while the government has done well to bite the bullet and scrapped the retrospective tax amendment, I’m not holding my breath on a change in our approach to taxation. The state is all-powerful and capricious. So long as that remains true, we will see this kind of saga play over and over again.

Not only does it inspire — even if fleetingly — at an individual level, it fosters national pride, a feeling rarely experienced in our networked world of partisan sniping. India’s best-ever performance at the Tokyo Olympics gave me, you, and millions of other Indians a reason to chin up in these challenging times.Our Olympians will deservedly get a lot of attention and adulation over the next few days. Their stories of grit, determination, and perseverance are sure to inspire more young Indians to pursue their sporting dreams. But this is a public policy newsletter, and I want to turn your attention to the portrayal of our governments in sports narratives.Observe how governments often get portrayed as the second-most important protagonist in these narratives. The most common narrative arc is one of apathy — the government provided no facilities, the sportsperson doggedly persevered — and eventually won — not because of the government but despite it. A second, less common narrative arc, by contrast, highlights the positive role that governments can play in nurturing sportspersons. In the Tokyo Olympics, Odisha government’s contribution to both the hockey teams is a case in point. The two seemingly divergent narrative arcs are actually deriving a similar conclusion — governments should pay more attention to sports; the more that our governments invest in sports, the more Olympic medals India will win. While there is a lot of truth about both these narrative arcs, it is this conclusion that needs deeper thought. There's no doubt that India — its lakhs of villages and thousands of urban centres — need far better sporting hardware and software. But to depend on governments for producing world-class athletes because that’s how it is done in the more prosperous countries would be to fall into the ‘isomorphic mimicry’ trap. I say this because a low-income, democratic setting must impose certain constraints on governments, and for good reasons. A low-income setting implies that the government would have low enforcement, monetary, and intellectual capacities. Hence, it would be in our collective interest to have governments do fewer things and do them well. Moreover, unlike authoritarian regimes which can sponsor projects of national pride at the cost of other expenditure items, democratic governments are elected to prioritise areas that benefit a majority of the electorate. Taken together, governments — regardless of their intentions — will not (and probably should not) prioritise sporting excellence.And that’s perfectly okay. Since governments cannot be at the forefront in this area, we need to unleash the power of the two agents of change — markets and society. In a previous essay on societism, I had written that:Institutionally, there are three major actors in any sovereign community— the market, the State, and the society. They are complementary—each of them is better at some tasks and is worse at others. For example, the state is very adept at employing force, but efficient usage of resources is not its forte. A market is efficient, but is oblivious to inequality. And a society has several self-correcting mechanisms, but is susceptible to majoritarianism.For sporting excellence, the complementary strengths of markets and societies are far more vital than government attention. Consider the role of markets first. Not too long ago, cricket would be criticised by players of other sports for hogging all the popularity, attention, and resources. And then a commercial, entertainment-focused enterprise such as the IPL turned this argument on its head. The city-based league format pioneered in India though IPL proved to be a positive-sum game for other sports. It spawned similar leagues in several sports, even managing to bring back Kabbadi to primetime TV screens. This commercial model energised many sports in ways that no government medals could have done. At the amateur level, reforms in India's FDI policy finally brought world-class sporting retailers such as Decathlon to India. Earlier, the sports retailing scene was stagnant, with few old-style shops only catering to demands of select, mass-market sports. By getting out of the way, the government helped change the sports equipment landscape for millions of budding sportspersons in the country. In short, markets are critical to lasting sporting success. Now consider the role of the third agent: the society. This is by far the most underappreciated agent of positive change. In the essay, I had posited that:..once the State failed in providing basic public services, even well-meaning civil society initiatives were directed towards plugging the government’s leaky bucket. Instead of complementing the state, civil society initiatives started substituting the state. So, we do have philanthropy, but a lot of it is for providing basic amenities, which fall squarely in the domain of the State. Philanthropy for the big, bold tasks that governments can’t do, like Carnegie’s public library network, is yet to come of age.Sports is definitely one such big, bold task that is ideally suited for philanthropy. Take the role that the MRF Pace Foundation has played in producing fast bowlers in India. Or the contribution of the Tata Group in improving hockey facilities in Odisha. We need many more philanthropic initiatives of this nature.Besides the well-established corporates, there are smaller non-profit organisations such as the GoSports Foundation and Olympic Gold Quest. These organisations sponsor and support talented Indian sportspersons so that they can become world-class. Perhaps, we need hundreds of such societal initiatives outside the government to achieve sporting excellence. In short, just like it takes sacrifices from many friends and family members to create one champion, it takes contributions from the government, markets and societies to create a sporting culture. PS: You can play a small role too. Instead of ruing the lack of governmental support for our athletes, consider contributing to organisations that are dedicated to sports. For that would be a perfect tribute to the Indian contingent of Tokyo Olympics 2020. Addendum- RSJIf coming up with theories for why a country doesn’t win more medals at international events were a sport, we’d have won a few more golds in Olympics over the years. This is an evergreen topic of discussion. Theories abound. Government apathy, poor diet, weather, lack of corporate sponsorship, absence of world class infrastructure, limited international exposure, world class coaching, mental fortitude, genes - the list is long. There’s always an example quoted picking up any one of these reasons and showing how it is done in some other country for some sport or the other. But here’s the thing. Almost every one of these reasons for failure can be falsified by examples of multiple other countries who are worse off on them and yet win medals consistently. There are countries that rank higher than India despite being poorer (sub Saharan Africa), that are rife with civil wars and coups (Central American and Balkan states), that have worse weather (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand) and so on. You get the picture. So, I would like to add an additional point apart from societism that Pranay talks about. This too relates to our society. It is about how we view sports and sportspersons. We think of sports as a career of last resort meant for the poor, the underprivileged or those with no other redeeming ability. And this isn’t just us alone. Our neighbours who were part of our society not so long back are the same. It is no wonder that Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal also don’t produce any world class sportspersons. This view permeates the administration, investments and support in sports right to the grassroots. Barring a few exceptions, there’s never any real respect for talent in sports among those who run or those who follow sports. If you don’t agree, I suggest you visit any of the SAI or sports hostels in the country and see for yourself. Or, check the toilets in any of our arenas or stadiums where athletes train. It is not about funds alone. Our attitude towards athletes is marked by the same biases we bring to the table elsewhere - their background, their caste, their communication skills or some other marker of their social rank. And once we have pegged them, we aren’t shocked by the conditions in which they live, travel or train. Their athletic prowess is of limited interest to us till they show up on screen during an Olympics or Asian Games. A few weeks later we forget all about them. There’s a gradual change that’s happening to this attitude around us. But it’s slow. Till we change our attitude towards sports, funds or foreign coaches won’t amount to much.

Feeling aggressive? Short-tempered? Straight angry? You probably need to touch someone, and that can be REAL tricky right now. It turns out, the thing we're avoiding most right now may have a major role to play in our overall health, and Khyati knows all about that! We may not be able to touch, hug or even shake hands like we don't even know we're craving, but we can do some things at home together! As mother Teresa says--'If you want to heal the world, start with your own family.' So, let's bring touch back in our homes with infant (and other family to family) massage! Unfortunately, American culture teaches us that touch is always sexual, and that cultural norm can keep us from creating real bonds that help us heal at a really fundamental level--baby massage helps us retrain ourselves to embrace our craving for touch, and use it to promote healing + deeper human connections.

It turns out, the thing we're avoiding most right now may have a major role to play in our overall health, and Khyati knows all about that! We may not be able to touch, hug or even shake hands like we don't even know we're craving, but we can do some things at home together! As mother Teresa says--'If you want to heal the world, start with your own family.' So, let's bring touch back in our homes with infant (and other family to family) massage! Unfortunately, American culture teaches us that touch is always sexual, and that cultural norm can keep us from creating real bonds that help us heal at a really fundamental level--baby massage helps us retrain ourselves to embrace our craving for touch, and use it to promote healing + deeper human connections.

Goddess Aditi is an ancient Vedic Goddess. In the Vedic literature she is referred to as the Cosmic mother and is the female counterpart of Lord Brahma. She is known as the divine mother of all gods and a Guardian to the Cosmos. In some scriptures she also mentioned as the Goddess of sky and consciousness. She is all-pervading and beyond time and space. The most prominent aspect of her is her motherhood. She is prominently known as the mother of supreme gods like Sun, Indra, Varuna, and Mitra. The 12 Adityas (Demigods) are born from Aditi. Now let us understand her story in detail According to Hindu Purana at the beginning of creation, Lord Brahma had sent his son Daksha on Earth to propagate life. Daksha married Queen Prasuti (daughter of Manu) and together had 60 divine daughters. Goddess Aditi was one among them. She had many sisters like Sati, Khyati, Diti, Rohini, Vijaya, etc. Sage Kashyap (one of the Saptarishis) went on to marry 13 of these sisters. Aditi and Diti were also among them. Kashyap and Aditi together had 33 sons who were the 12 Adityas,11 Rudras,8 Vasus, and 2 Ashwin Kumara (Ashwin Kumara in some scriptures are replaced by Indra and Prajapati.) Lord Vishnu in his Vamana avatar was also born to Aditi and Kashyap. She is also referred to as the mother of Lord Krishna in the form of Devaki. Aditi's sister Diti is the source and mother of all Demons. Diti was insecure and jealous and wanted the Demons to be treated equally as the Gods. In some other scriptures Aditi has been mentioned as the source of everything that exists today. Before creation the Universe existed inside Aditi's womb. Aditi also refers to freedom and someone who is boundless and cannot be tied. Anyone seeking ultimate freedom worships Aditi as she can free the devotee from his or her misery. Like other Gods and Goddesses, Aditi also has her mount and she flies across the Universe on a Pheonix which symbolizes strength and power. She along with her son Varun are known to be the Guardian of Cosmic moral order and are upholders and righteousness and honesty.
