Yuki Tsunoda is no longer a Honda driver, but Honda haven't given up on him.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYuki Tsunoda's Formula 1 career is at a turning point as Honda officially changes its relationship with the driver. While headlines suggest Honda is dropping Tsunoda, the truth is more nuanced. Honda is strategically shifting from directly placing drivers into F1 seats to financially backing talented drivers, encouraging them to independently navigate their own careers. Now in his fifth F1 season, Tsunoda faces his most critical year yet, as Red Bull Racing's advisor Helmut Marko labels 2025 as a decisive “make-or-break” season. With fresh support from new management, including motorsport expert Menaka, Tsunoda is gearing up to prove his worth against teammates, secure his future, and potentially find a new home outside the Red Bull ecosystem. Is this new approach from Honda exactly what Tsunoda needs, or could it mark the beginning of the end for his F1 journey? Join the discussion as we break down what's really happening behind the scenes and what it means for Tsunoda's future in Formula 1.#f1 #yukitsunoda #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #redbull #maxverstappen #tsunoda #honda #liamlawson #astonmartin #lancestroll #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1updates #formula12025

Life is noisy and stressful for a lot of people. And so sound baths – where a practitioner creates harmonies and chords with singing crystal bowls – are growing in popularity. Many people say that this provides them with a deep sense of relaxation. But what does the science say?Today on the show, Menaka tries a sound bath to see what it's like. Later, Dave McGinn explains the hype around this wellness trend. And then, music therapy professor Dr. Heidi Ahonen from Wilfrid Laurier University explains what we know about the therapeutic benefits of sound.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

What prevents women from seeking safe, legal abortions? Studies show that the awareness about abortion and its legality is very low among people. To add to the confusion, the implementation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 or PCPNDT Act which makes sex selection illegal gives anti-abortion messages.  This is the fifth and final episode of a series Matter of Choice, a series that explores how women face medical, legal and social barriers to abortions. Suno India's Menaka Rao spoke to Saraswati Sahu, a leader with the Chhatisgarh Mahila Mukti Morcha that works on the rights of workers, who talks about her own abortion stories and how she used to feel abortion was illegal, and that she had to undergo abortion surreptitiously. Menaka also talked to Pritam Potdar, the managing director with the Pune-based non-profit, Samyak Communication and Research Centre, which works on gender rights. Menaka also spoke to Vinoj Manning, the CEO of the international non profit Ipas Development Foundation and his colleague, Samina Parveen who works as a specialist in the research and evaluation team at IPAS which recently released a survey on the attitudes of Indians about abortion.  This podcast is supported by Pulitzer center References Trends in selective abortions of girls in India: analysis of nationally representative birth histories from 1990 to 2005 and census data from 1991 to 2011 - PubMed Pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 | India Code At 914, child sex ratio is the lowest since Independence - The Hindu https://www.masum-india.org.in/images/Sex%20selection%20and%20safe%20abortion.pdf Doctors wary of conducting abortions after 12 weeks | Mumbai news - Hindustan Times Illegal sale of abortion pills: Drug inspectors raid seven medical stores in Beed | Mumbai News - Times of India Private detectives to check sex determination tests in Punjab | Chandigarh News - Times of India Why getting a safe abortion by a registered gynaecologist has become almost impossible (PDF) " If a woman has even one daughter, I refuse to perform the abortion " : Sex determination and safe abortion in India (PDF) Evaluating the relative effectiveness of high-intensity and low-intensity models of behaviour change communication interventions for abortion care-seeking in Bihar and Jharkhand, India: A cross-sectional study Improving care seeking behavior of young women for sexual and reproductive health in Assam and Madhya PradeshSee sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

How getting an abortion is linked to contraceptive use How a person seeking abortion is treated often relates to their contraception history. When someone seeks abortion, the health system discriminates against those who take temporary contraceptives or no contraceptives at all. The public health hospitals often deny abortion unless women undergo a permanent sterilisation or at least take a long acting contraceptive such as intrauterine devices. This is the fourth episode of a series 'Matter of Choice', a series that explores how women face. This podcast explores how these systemic denials and attitudes have classist and casteist implications. Suno India's Menaka Rao also speaks to women who got pregnant after a sterlisation surgery, which is rare. Despite exhausting all their methods to avoid pregnancy, these women barely get any help when they seek abortion. medical, legal and social barriers to abortions. This podcast features women from Delhi, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Menaka speaks to human rights activist and educationist, Shreya Khemani, and labour rights activist, Saraswati Sahu, both of whom are based in Chhattisgarh. Menaka also spoke to Dr Suchitra Dalvie,  gynaecologist and coordinator of Asia Safe Abortion Partnership.  This podcast is supported by Pulitzer Center.  References Mistreatment and Coercion: Unethical Sterilization in India Men's Participation in Family Planning & Reproductive Health Comparative effectiveness of hysteroscopic and laparoscopic sterilization for women: a retrospective cohort study - ScienceDirect End sterilisation camps, says Supreme Court - The Hindu India sterilisations: More Chhattisgarh botched cases - BBC NewsSee sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

This is the second episode of a series Matter of Choice, a series that explores how women face medical, legal and social barriers to abortions. This episode is based in Delhi where despite facilities, women are given a run-around for abortions. In this episode, Menaka Rao speaks to three women who had a hard time seeking abortion in the country's capital. These women were either treated with disrespect, or asked for very hefty fees in the private sector, often with very little assurance that the provider will provide abortion. Menaka speaks to these women at the non-profit Parivar Seva Sanstha which provides them with safe, affordable abortion care. The NGO has clinics in 11 states of India, including Delhi. Menaka also speaks with Neelam Rao who runs its clinics in Delhi.  This podcast is supported by Pulitzer Centre References  Parivar Seva Sanstha https://nhm.gov.in/images/pdf/programmes/maternal-health/guidelines/CAC_Training_&_Service_Guidelines_2023.pdfSee sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Abortion is legal in India with certain conditions. But it is  hard to access in many parts of the country, especially in rural India. An estimated eight women die everyday from abortions in India. This series called - Matter of Choice- will explore how women face medical, legal and social  barriers to abortion. In this first episode, Menaka Rao goes to villages in Azamgarh where women have little or no options for legal abortions. Blind alley abortions are common, with unqualified doctors or quacks offering abortion, putting the women's lives at risk. What is it like to undergo such a risky abortion procedure? Menaka speaks with three women who underwent these procedures and hears their stories.  This podcast was supported by the Pulitzer Center If you want to listen to the voices of the women in Hindi, here is the link Show notes Gramin Punarnirman Sansthan Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Act of 2021 Abortion: Safety Clinical practice handbook for quality abortion care https://prsindia.org/files/bills_acts/bills_parliament/2020/Medical%20Termination%20of%20Pregnancy%20(Amendment)%20Rules,%202021.pdf The incidence of abortion and unintended pregnancy in India, 2015 - The Lancet Global HealthSee sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Good day, everyone. Today, we embark on an enlightening exploration of the constitutional safeguards enshrined in Article 21, which guarantees the protection of life and personal liberty for all individuals, irrespective of their citizenship status. This pivotal provision serves as the bedrock of our legal framework, ensuring the preservation of fundamental rights in our democratic society. Let us delve into the intricacies of Article 21 and its profound implications for the administration of justice and the protection of human dignity. 1. Historical Context: Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, a cornerstone of our legal system, unequivocally declares that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law. This right extends to both citizens and non-citizens, emphasizing the universality of its application and the inherent dignity of every individual. 2. Narrow Interpretation in the Gopalan Case: Initially, the Supreme Court, in the landmark Gopalan case (1950), adopted a narrow interpretation of Article 21. It held that the protection under Article 21 was limited to safeguarding against arbitrary executive action and did not extend to arbitrary legislative action. This meant that the state could deprive individuals of their right to life and personal liberty based on laws enacted by the legislature. The court emphasized the phrase "procedure established by law," distinguishing it from the American concept of "due process of law." 3. Broadening of Interpretation in the Menaka Case: However, in the Menaka case (1978), the Supreme Court revisited its interpretation of Article 21 and adopted a broader perspective. It ruled that the right to life and personal liberty could be deprived by law only if the procedure prescribed by that law was reasonable, fair, and just. This marked a significant departure from the earlier interpretation and introduced the concept of "due process of law," akin to the American jurisprudence. The court emphasized that the right to life extends beyond mere existence and encompasses the right to live with human dignity, ensuring a meaningful and fulfilling life. 4. Expanded Scope of Article 21: Subsequently, the Supreme Court has reaffirmed and expanded the scope of Article 21 in various judgments. It has declared a plethora of rights as part of Article 21, including the right to live with human dignity, right to livelihood, right to privacy, right to health, right to education, right to shelter, and many more. These rights reflect the comprehensive nature of Article 21, which encompasses a wide array of personal liberties essential for the holistic development and well-being of individuals. 5. Right to Education (Article 21A): In addition to the protection of life and personal liberty under Article 21, the Constitution also guarantees the right to education as a fundamental right under Article 21A. This provision mandates the state to provide free and compulsory education to all children between the ages of six and fourteen years. The enactment of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, further reinforces this commitment and underscores the importance of inclusive elementary education in fostering equality, social justice, and democracy. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiascompanion/message

This is the last episode in the series on Kala Azar reported by Suno India's Menaka Rao.  The Indian government has said that it has hit the elimination target for Kala-azar, a parasitic disease that is life-threatening. But miltefosine, the drug used to treat the skin manifestation of Kala-azar, called Post-Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL), is being linked to eye problems, including blindness.  The government has taken steps to try to reduce the side effects in 2021, but not much has been done for those who have lost their eyesight either in one eye or both, possibly as a result of miltefosine. The World Health Organization has found 83 cases of people in India who have suffered a problem in the eye after intake of miltefosine.  In this episode, Menaka spoke to Iliyas Marandi, one of the patients who lost his eyesight completely after taking miltefosine treatment. She also spoke to ophthalmologists Dr Rakhi Kushumesh and Dr Asim Sil who treated such patients, and helped develop the guidelines to prevent such ocular side effects.    References  https://www.indiaspend.com/health/how-a-drug-to-treat-dermal-kala-azar-is-affecting-patients-eyesight-901497 Keratitis occurring in patients treated with miltefosine for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis | British Journal of Ophthalmology https://ncvbdc.mohfw.gov.in/WriteReadData/l892s/PKDL-Guidelines-220512.pdf Using focused pharmacovigilance for ensuring patient safety against antileishmanial drugs in Bangladesh's National Kala-azar Elimination Programme Keratitis After Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis Corneal complications following Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis treatment | PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Adverse ocular events on miltefosine treatment for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis in India - Suman Saurabh, Manish Mahabir, 2020 Advisory Committee on Safety of Medicinal Products (ACSoMP): Measures to minimize the risk of ocular adverse events with miltefosine Statement on miltefosine - Potential ocular disorders in patients treated with miltefosine for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL).See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Kala Azar, a deadly parasitic disease, is very close to elimination in India. As per the World Health Organisation, the definition of elimination is the annual incidence of less than one case per 10,000 population at block level. The last few districts which are on the borderline remain in Jharkhand, and public officials appear confident that this year, the country may achieve the elimination target. The target has to be kept for 3 years for it to receive a WHO tag. Suno India is publishing a series of podcasts related to Kala Azar elimination. Suno India's Menaka Rao travelled to Jharkhand and Bihar for the reporting of these podcasts. Reporting for this story was supported by the MSF-DNDi Grant on Neglected Tropical Diseases as part of the Without Borders Media Fellowship. The fellowship encourages independent, impartial and neutral reporting on health and humanitarian crises. In this episode, Suno India's consulting editor Menaka Rao talks about the challenges of another complication related to kala-azar called Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis. This can manifest in about 5-10% of patients who recovered from kala-azar. This disease is now scientifically proven to spread kala-azar in the community. This disease is hard to detect, and cure. Menaka speaks to persons affected by this disease, and other health workers who are trying hard to control it in the community.  References Kala-azar in India – progress and challenges towards its elimination as a public health problem KALA-AZAR SITUATION IN INDIA Kala Azar and its subsequent skin manifestation, PKDL, shattered these women's lives, left them with uncertainty, stigma Xenodiagnosis to evaluate the infectiousness of humans to sandflies in an area endemic for visceral leishmaniasis in Bihar, India: a transmission-dynamics study Ten years of kala-azar in west Bengal, Part I.

Menaka always wanted to be one of the cool, sporty girls in her school. As a child she'd play for hours on the street, but as she got older she found herself retreating indoors, a place she was told was ‘safer'. As she grew older, how did she reclaim her right to exercise and play outdoors?    Our thanks to Mathangi, Aakanksha, Yamini and Kamala.   Written and hosted Menaka Raman.

Tonight's lecture is a Hallowe'en special! After all, Śaiva and Śakta Tantra is chock full of ghoulish mortuary iconography: Mā Kālī's garland of skulls, Lord Śiva's garland of snakes, their retinue of ghosts, goblins and vampires, their home in the cremation grounds (ghat), fierce fanged dākinī and yoginīs and so much more. It's no wonder Hallowe'en is my favorite holiday! Tonight, to celebrate, let's discuss Tantrik demonology and the role of mortuary and gory iconography in texts like  Bhairava Stava of Abhinava Gupta, Candi and Swami Vivekananda's poems to Mā Kālī. The first part of this lecture is just an introduction to the zoology of supernatural beings mentioned in Indian literature and spiritual texts like the Purānas, Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata etc. (listed below for your convenience) and the second part of the lecture is a discussion on 4 or 5 ways to "exorcise" or at least banish the influence of these spirits in your own home so that you may practice safely and uninterruptedly. Dangerous Supernatural Beingsपिशाच, Piśācaवेताल vetāla as seen in the वेतालपञ्चविंशति, Vetala Panchavimshatiराक्षस Rākṣasa (like Rāvaṇa, Hidimba and Hidimbi, Ghatotkacha, Bakasura, Alamvusha)असुर Asura (like Madhu and Kaitabha, Mahishasura, Shumbha and Nishbumbha in Candi) Somewhat Dangerous but Mostly Just Mischeivious and Often Good Supernatural Beings अप्सरा Apsarā (story of Menaka and Vishwamitra as told by Shakuntalā, story of Arjuna and Urvashi)गन्धर्व Ghandarva (like Pushpadanta who composed the Shiva Mahimna stotra)यक्ष Yaksha यक्षिणी Yakshini (Fairies)Happy Hallowe'en!Jai Mahākāla!Support the show

This week on NL Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande and Raman Kirpal are joined by senior advocate at the Supreme Court, Menaka Guruswamy.The conversation began on the criminal code of India as Menaka deconstructed the criminal manual and the definition of ‘criminality' in India. She delved into why the country needed a rigorous reform of the criminal code to move beyond colonisation.The panel also deliberated on the protective nature of judicial custody over police custody. “As a society, not only are we interested in crime being addressed, but we are also interested in [ensuring that] the innocent [are] not being put away for things they didn't do,” said Menaka. The conversation then moved to the addition of organised crime to Indian criminal law and its implications for hate crimes and incidents of mob lynching in the country.The discussion then shifted to Chandrayaan-3's historic Moon landing and its celebration across the country. Manisha drew attention to the “amazing” speech by ISRO chief S Somanath, while Abhinandan took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address and said it was for the world and not just the country.

Few stories have captured more headlines in India this year than the saga of Gautam Adani. Adani is CEO of the Adani Group and a regular fixture on the Forbes list of Global Billionaires. He was at one point the third richest man in the world.In January, Adani and his companies were accused of stock manipulation by New York-based investment firm Hindenburg Research. This sent Adani Group stocks plummeting while Adani's own net worth took a massive nosedive. Today, the group is trying to calm investors and strengthen its balance sheets even as both the Supreme Court and India's securities regulator are investing possible wrongdoing.To talk more about the Adani affair, Milan is joined on the show this week by Menaka Doshi, Senior Editor at Bloomberg News. Menaka is one of India's most respected financial journalists. She previously served as Managing Editor of BloombergQuint and Executive Editor of CNBC-TV18.Milan and Menaka discuss the origins of the Adani Group, the allegations against them, and the future for the embattled company.

On Monday, the Malian army rubbished reports that the north-eastern Menaka region is about to fall militants from the Islamic State group. They say the stories are propaganda designed to destabilise the country. And that they have been carrying out regular patrols in the region. In the neighbouring region of Gao, unions have called a strike. They are protesting the authorities response to violence that has left thousands displaced. So, what is being done to solve the insecurity in the north of the country? #AfricaDaily

Brahma pays a visit to Vishvamitra at Pushkara and rewards him with the status of a Rshi (seer). There he feels enamoured of Menaka, a celestial nymph deputed by Indra, and enjoys life with her for 10 years. At last he realises his folly and retires to the Himalayas, where he renews his austerities and is rewarded with the status of a Maharshi by Brahma. Still dissatisfied, he prosecutes his austerities with renewed vigour. Recitation: 00:00 - 04:09 Translation: 04:10 - 11:09

The Wives of Western Philosophy: Gender Politics in Intellectual Labor (Routledge, 2020) fills in a rather large hole in the understanding and the substance of the generation of knowledge. This edited volume provides an exploration of the thinking around the role of the wife, helpmeet, or intimate companion, and how political theory is created, written, and moved into the public sphere. This book also pays particular attention to what we understand to be intellectual labor, and how we have come to think about the genesis of ideas and theories as the work of a solitary individual—usually male—when others are often quite intimately involved in the generation of this labor. The contributing authors all focus on three themes: how are intellectual work, knowledge, and theory produced or created across disciplines and topic areas—who is actually involved in this process as a contributor to the outcome; the political reality of what wives have done, are expected to do, actually do, and how we have come think about the wife as a political concept itself; the crafting of the biography or narrative of the thinker—who is included and excluded from this construction. These issues or themes are not necessarily indigenous to political theory—they come up in context of any intellectual production, in any field or discipline. But The Wives of Western Philosophy: Gender Politics in Intellectual Labor concentrates on some of the canonical thinkers and their intimate partners, and what we know but perhaps were unaware of in regard to these contributions, not merely fulfilling daily needs like cooking food, but the actual intellectual contributions by intimate partners that are threaded into the work of these theorists. All of the contributing authors pay attention to trying to understand how the intellectual communities are, in fact, the spaces and places where theorists live and engage—and that these communities contribute to the formation of ideas and knowledge. This is a different narrative than those that generally surround theorists, who are often cast as solitary thinkers, disembodied minds, alone, developing ideas and writings. Collaboration is often eschewed in these conceptions of the author, the thinker, and gendered collaboration between men and women is even more suspect as a means to generate important concepts and work. Forestal and Philips have assembled a fascinating, interrogating group of authors and discussions in this edited volume. Authors include Arlene Saxonhouse, Sara Brill, Boris Litvin, Emily C. Nicol, Bryan A. Banks, Jennifer M. Jones, Ross Carroll, Terrell Carver, as well as contributions by the editors themselves, Jennifer Forestal and Menaka Philips. This is a very important contribution to our understanding of political philosophy and the creation of knowledge. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).
