Begum Wilayat Mahal, the self-proclaimed heir to the House of Awadh, has fascinated journalists and writers for decades. She claimed she was Indian royalty, descended from the kings of Awadh, a kingdom annexed by the British in 1856. She spent a decade in the waiting room of the New Delhi train station, receiving journalists intrigued by the image of Indian royals in cramped conditions. Then, her family was granted use of a rundown 14th-century hunting lodge in Delhi; none were seen in public again. Both during Wilayat Mahal's life, and after her death, journalists have tried to figure out whether her story was true, most famously by a 2019 feature by the New York Times that picked apart the family's story. Now, in their book The House of Awadh: A Hidden Tragedy (HarperCollins India: 2025), Aletta André and Abhimanyu Kumar dig into Begum Wilayat Mahal's past, chasing down leads in India and Pakistan to fully explore this story. Aletta André is a Dutch historian and journalist, who has covered South Asia for Dutch and international media since 2009. Abhimanyu Kumar is an Indian poet and journalist with a wide experience covering politics, arts, culture and minority issues.

Last summer's Superman movie was a welcome improvement over many recent films featuring the character, and over much of the recent superhero film entries in general. Kumar and Emmet this week discuss how it comments on Zach Snyder's take, on internet culture, anti-immigrant sentiment, and more. They also address such topics as how the film … Continue reading #854 “Superman” (2025): Its commentary on other supermen

Oru Kanyastrikku Kadhal Kadhitham - Shiv K.Kumar - ஒரு கன்யாஸ்திரிக்கு காதல் கடிதம் - ஷிவ் கே.குமார் - Tamil Short Story

1021: Is your infrastructure ready to flex? In this episode of Technovation, Manish Kumar, EVP of Digital Energy at Schneider Electric, explains how buildings can become interactive energy assets with the help of AI, real-time data, and distributed energy systems. He shares the strategy behind Schneider's Energy Command Center model, which reduced energy use by 25 GWh across 23 buildings, and outlines how AI can be deployed both locally and enterprise-wide to drive sustainability and efficiency.

As a child in the foothills of the Himalayas, Priyanka Kumar was entranced by forest-like orchards of diverse and luscious fruit—especially apples. These biodiverse orchards seemed worlds away from the cardboard apples that lined supermarket shelves in the United States. Yet on a small patch of woods near her home in Santa Fe, Kumar discovered a wild apple tree—and the seeds of an odyssey were planted. Could the taste of a feral apple offer a doorway to the wild? In The Light Between Apple Trees: Rediscovering the Wild Through a Beloved American Fruit, Kumar takes us on a dazzling and transformative journey to rediscover apples, unearthing a rich and complex history while illuminating how we can reimagine our relationship with nature.Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world, bringing readers to the vibrant forests and orchards where historic trees still survive. These mature and wild orchards offer more than just fruit: they are havens for creatures from hummingbirds to bears and a living connection to generations past. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple's storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson's beloved Monticello fruitery. Kumar shows how—if we follow untamed paths—the tang and texture of an apple can lead us back to the wild. Our guest is: Priyanka Kumar, who is the author of Conversations with Birds, and The Light Between Apple Trees. Her essays appear in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Orion, and Sierra magazine. She holds an MFA, and has taught at the University of California Santa Cruz and the University of Southern California. Her feature documentary, The Song of the Little Road, is in the permanent collection of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and her awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award, a New Mexico/New Visions Governor's Award, an International Center for Jefferson Studies Fellowship, and an Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Fellowship. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and freelance editor. She is the producer of the Academic Life podcast, and writes the show's newsletter.

What does it take to make a city nearly rabies-free without harming a single stray dog? How can compassion transform centuries-old practices of animal exploitation into humane alternatives? In this powerful episode we sit down with Timmie Kumar, Managing Trustee of Help in Suffering and a pioneer in India's animal welfare movement.Why This Episode Matters:Animal welfare in India is often overshadowed by human struggles, but compassion is not a zero-sum game. Timmie Kumar reveals how Jaipur became a model for humane street dog management while challenging animal cruelty in festivals, weddings, and traditions. She also stresses the need to regulate pet ownership, end animal testing, and build empathy through education so kindness becomes a way of life.Lessons in Compassion & Change:Jaipur's rabies-free success shows that large-scale humane interventions can save lives.Abandonment and overbreeding must end.Sensitization of police/authorities can transform society.From animal testing to zoos and sacrificial rituals, cruelty must never be justified as entertainment or tradition.Connect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with the Guest:Timmie Kumar: https://www.instagram.com/timmie.kumar/ Help in Suffering: https://www.instagram.com/helpinsuffering/ References:Help in Suffering, PETA India on Zoos & Elephants, General Animal Welfare Legislation in IndiaFollow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/More Episodes Like This:Gargi Rawat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc3xZ8wf5do For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

Host Diana Korte speaks with Priyanka Kumar, author of 3 books, whose newest title is “The Light Between Apple Trees: Rediscovering the Wild Through a Beloved American Fruit.”  As a child in the foothills of the Himalayas, Priyanka Kumar was entranced by forest-like orchards of diverse and luscious fruit—especially apples. These biodiverse orchards seemed worlds away from the cardboard apples that lined supermarket shelves in the United States. Yet on a small patch of woods near her home in Santa Fe, NM Kumar discovered a wild apple tree—and the seeds of an odyssey were planted. Could the taste of a feral apple offer a doorway to the wild?   Kumar is a prize winning filmmaker (“The Song of the Little Road”), novelist (“Take Wing and Fly Here”), environmental author (“Conversations With Birds”), and acclaimed naturalist.

This episode with Prof. Arun Kumar is a look at the Indian economy beyond headlines and GDP numbers. We discuss the paradox behind India's growth story: when GDP rises, does it really reach the people? We explore how poverty in India has officially fallen from 27% to 5.3% in just over a decade, yet real wages have been shrinking, especially for rural workers. If fewer people are poor on paper, but incomes aren't rising, what's actually driving this improvement?We talk about how the structure of India's economy is changing, how wealth is concentrated, and the weakening of the public sector to how the black economy distorts policy outcomes.We discuss why state finances are now becoming a silent crisis, and how India's macroeconomic stability, while strong, hides inequalities that threaten long-term growth. The episode also explores the solutions, which India needs to fix over the next 20 years to make growth truly inclusive and meaningful for everyone.0:00 – Trailer1:01 – Does GDP growth translate to ground reality?6:46 – Is India truly the 4th largest economy?10:30 – Poverty fell 22% in 12 years, yet wages dropped.14:06 – Does the poverty line reflect reality?18:07 – What % of India is really poor?21:00 – Are middle-class families going into debt for basics?23:26 – How are rich, middle, and poor defined?24:44 – Wealth is shifting26:56 – How stable is India's macroeconomy?30:48 – Why India cannot open up some sectors34:27 – Why R&D spending remains low in India35:36 – Is the consensus on need for public sector falling?38:18 – Black economy kills public sector41:37 – How healthy are the Indian state economies?44:51 – Is the tax split b/w centre and states working?47:05 – How can India create jobs in Unorganised sectors?53:12 – What are the solutions to fix Indian economy in next 20 years-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

India is being celebrated across headlines as a $4 trillion economy. But is that the whole truth? To uncover this, we sat down with Dr. Arun Kumar, one of India's most outspoken economists, a retired JNU professor, and the author of landmark books on black money, GST, and public policy. For over four decades, he's been warning about cracks in India's economy that very few dare to talk about. And in this conversation, we spoke about:Is India really a $4 trillion economy or just a $2.5 trillion illusion?Did demonetisation bring India's economy to a permanent standstill?Is GST actually helping businesses, or destroying micro-enterprises?Can MSP and APMC reforms save India's farmers or sink us further?Where is India's economy truly heading in the next decade? ►Think School's flagship Communication course with live doubt sessions : https://thethinkschool.com/sp/communication-masterclass/►Follow Think School Social Media: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkSchool►Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thethinkschool?igsh=NWg2ZXRyZmdsM2ds&utm_source=qr 

In this Telugu podcast episode, we step into the world of law with Pavan Kumar Duvva, Advocate and Partner at The Law Chambers  as he reveals the realities behind one of India's most respected yet misunderstood professions. From his first courtroom experiences to the truth about how much young lawyers actually earn, he explains why law is both rewarding and punishingly difficult. A fresh graduate may begin with a modest salary, but with skill and persistence some go on to command astronomical fees. That gap between promise and struggle sets the stage for a raw conversation about the profession.He reflects on how society's view of lawyers has changed. Once dismissed with suspicion and stereotypes, lawyers are now regaining respect as people see their importance in disputes, contracts, and daily life. But Pavan was candid about the flaws too...nepotism, corruption, and why casual judgments from the outside rarely capture courtroom depth. Asked whether he ever wanted to be a judge, he notes that it means sacrificing almost 80% of social life and income, requiring a completely different mindset.The discussion dives into advocacy's dilemmas: what if you know your client is guilty, how intention matters in crime, and why every case is a unique puzzle. Referencing Ram Jethmalani interviews and high-profile cases like Sahara and Agri Gold, Pavan explains how loopholes are exploited, how backend manoeuvres unfold, and why advocacy is never simple logic. He also shares how lawyers face client conflicts, threats, and even strange requests from people seeking advice on fraud.From the famous Disha case to everyday tenancy disputes and corporate law for entrepreneurs, Pavan brings ground realities alive. He highlights jurisdiction errors, with nearly 10% of cases lost at the very first step and the crushing burden of pending cases. For him, “justice delayed is justice denied” is not a slogan but a daily battle. He also compares cinema with reality, pointing out what *Jolly LLB* gets right about courtroom strategy and what it dramatizes.The episode brims with anecdotes: how lawyers prepare for multiple cases in a day, why voice and body language matter as much as statutes. He shares candid views on the Nirbhaya case, the juvenile sentence, the police's investigative role, and why cooperation between police and advocates is essential.Beyond litigation, he offers practical advice for businesses: why valuation matters, common fundraising mistakes, and traps every founder should avoid. He critiques sensational media trials, showing how narratives form before facts are proven, often harming both justice and society. His reform wishlist includes better infrastructure for heritage courts, stronger police manpower, and law education in schools so citizens know their rights and duties.Through it all, his passion shines. He admits he draws inspiration not from one figure but from the craft itself , its challenges, unpredictability, and social impact. What excites him is that advocacy is intellectually demanding and never repetitive; what frustrates him are endless delays and adjournments. With humour, seriousness, and clarity, he paints law as it really is; difficult, messy, and deeply human.If you've ever thought law is irrelevant unless you're in trouble, this episode will change your mind. By the end, you'll see how law shapes every aspect of life, why lawyers matter far more than stereotypes suggest, and why knowing even the basics can empower us all.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones welcomes three inspiring guests to discuss the origins and impact of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation in Fort Madison, Iowa. Brent Zirkel shares how the foundation was created to blend culinary arts with education, providing students with essential life and academic skills. Kumar Withanage, a renowned chef and passionate educator, recounts his journey from Sri Lanka to the U.S. and his motivation to give back to the community through after-school programs that teach both cooking and life lessons. Julian Pope, a former student and participant, describes how the Test Kitchen became a turning point in his life, offering mentorship, practical skills, and opportunities that helped him pursue higher education. The conversation highlights the power of mentorship, the importance of community, and the value of providing safe, supportive spaces for students to grow.How Test Kitchen Education Foundation came to be. How Julien got involved through the robotics program. Cooking provides instant feedback.The power of mentorship.ACT - Appreciate, Clean up after yourself, Thank everyone.Mentorship and agreements or commitmentsAbout Kumar WickramasinghaKumar Wickramasingha is best known in southeast Iowa for his culinary expertise and his deep commitment to educational equity. A native of Sri Lanka, Kumar immigrated to the United States in 1986, where he was welcomed by George and Jean Alton—two Fort Madison educators who gave him a home and the encouragement to pursue higher education. Inspired by their generosity and belief in the power of education, Kumar fulfilled his American dream by becoming a successful restaurateur and later a healthcare executive.Kumar's most enduring legacy, however, may be his work in education reform. As the founder of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation (TKEF), he created the Elliott Test Kitchen (ETK)—a one-of-a-kind afterschool program that used food and mentorship to bring academic support to students in rural Iowa. With a blend of culinary creativity and educational accountability, the program helped countless students from all backgrounds succeed in school, build life skills, and discover their potential.Today, Kumar is collaborating with former ETK student Julien Pope on a forthcoming book that tells the story of the Test Kitchen's origins, challenges, and powerful impact. The book not only highlights the life-changing effects of academic support and mentorship, but also draws a powerful connection between the decline of quality education in rural communities and the rise of political polarization in America. Through real stories and hard truths, the project aims to spark a national conversation—and offer a roadmap for healing both systems.Kumar continues to live in Fort Madison and remains passionate about giving back to the community that once lifted him up. His work is a testament to the idea that the best way to thank a community is to build something lasting within it.About Julien PopeJulien Pope is a ghostwriter and freelance developmental editor currently working in Fort Madison, Iowa. As a high schooler, his life was positively impacted by the Elliott Test Kitchen, and, using the resources provided to him by the ETK, he successfully enrolled at the University of Iowa as an English and Creative Writing Major. Recently graduated, he has returned to Fort Madison to work on a series of writing projects, one of which being the memoir of Kumar Wickramasingha and the story of the Elliott Test Kitchen. As the author of this memoir, Julien will use both personal narrative and in-depth research to create a compelling argument for the solution to rural America's educational decline - namely, that only through dedicated, passionate community involvement and cultural appreciation will education be able to flourish and heal the rifts in our fracturing society. About Brent ZirkelBrent Zirkel is currently the Elementary Principal at Mary Welsh Elementary in Williamsburg, Iowa, a school of about 650 students.  He also serves as the district ELL Director, Migratory Education Program Director, and Preschool Program Director.
