Podcasts about Mother India

If you wish to support our podcast, please follow this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This episode was recorded live onstage in New Delhi, India, in February 2026, at the end of the pilgrimage In the Footsteps of the Buddha. Leadership coach Jo Confino was joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to discuss what it means to renew Buddhism, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for doing so – including his emphasis on simplicity, equality, and making the teachings accessible and relevant to the contemporary world. They also reflect on their 14-day pilgrimage in India, and how it deepened their understanding of and connection to the Buddha’s teachings. This includes Sister Tam Muoi's insights about the strong sangha formed among the diverse group of 60 pilgrims from 16 different countries. She also reflects on her personal connection to India and her healing journey of reconnecting with the Buddha’s teachings in their land of origin. Shantum Seth, who has been leading pilgrimages in India for over 30 years, explains the transformative power of these journeys in allowing people to connect with the Buddha as a human being and experience his teachings' relevance to their own lives. He also shares plans for the Ahimsa Trust to establish a Plum Village center in India, to continue Thich Nhat Hanh’s legacy and bring the Dharma to a wider audience, especially a young one. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) is from the UK and was ordained in 2012 and became a Dharma teacher in 2022. Having encountered the practice whilst living in France, she became engaged in the French lay sangha and was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2004. She is actively supporting the recently created Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK and is deeply committed to the work of healing ancestral harm, and to participation in trainings and retreats exploring White Awareness.

I find that difficult – but I love the sitting.' And Thay would say, ‘Well, then sit. Do the practice that you enjoy.' It’s so important to touch joy in whatever practice we do. It shouldn’t be hard work and creating more battles on your cushion.” “Suffering is where we start. It’s your own suffering you have to handle. But also look at the suffering in the world. It’s not separate: other people’s suffering is your suffering; other people’s happiness is your happiness. That’s where we start. And then, know that all these things are interconnected. Nothing exists independently.” “India is a great teacher because she’s confronting you all the time. That’s why we call her Mother India, I guess. She also challenges every preconception, and so, ‘Everything you say about India, the exact opposite is also true.'” “It’s dangerous coming to India because you’re going to go back different.” “Don’t believe something just because a teacher says it, or because it’s written in scripture, or has come from centuries-old tradition. Try it. And see how you feel.” “Thay was a very revolutionary teacher because of his aspiration to make Buddhism relevant. He had seen the damage done by dogmatism, by fossilization. And so he was always thinking of new ways that we could make Buddhism appropriate.” “Our precepts – the behavioral code for all the monastics and also for the lay friends – are rewritten every five or 10 years to update them. It's quite extraordinary that Thay had the courage to do that; he faced criticism from many very traditional countries.” “Something important about the Buddha Dharma is that it is very much about what we experience in this world. We’re not talking about something which is going to happen after some sort of transcendence. And that’s why I think the Buddha Dharma is relevant to our Earth: we have to care for this little planet of ours, we have to care for our rivers, we have to care for our climate, to care for each other. And it’s not about an outcome in some past or future life; the karma happens right here and now. Every action has a result and that result can be seen in this life and in this community.” “You sit, you enjoy your breath, you get a little sense of being a Buddha for a moment. Maybe you can become a part-time Buddha, maybe a full-time Buddha. ‘Buddha' just means ‘to be awake' – and with mindfulness practice, being mindful is a type of awakening.”

My conversation with Nico Slate began with him reflecting on his own path into the study of historical connections between South Asia and the United States. We then moved to a wide-ranging discussion covering the importance of the transnational scale for an understanding of antiracist and anticaste politics, the repurposing of ‘race' and ‘caste' through creative acts of transnational translation, the interplay between the race-colony and race-caste analogies in solidaristic politics across the late 19th and 20th centuries, and the conjunctural factors that have shaped the rise and fall of race-caste scholarship.

Maar wat betekent het voor de koe om heilig te zijn?En hoe valt dit te rijmen met het feit dat India de grootste zuivelproducent en de vierde grootste rundvleesproducent ter wereld is?Yamini Narayanan is universitair hoofddocent internationale ontwikkeling aan de Deakin University in Melbourne, Australië. In haar boek Mother Cow, Mother India gaat ze in op deze complexe kwestie. Het geeft inzicht in de rol van de koe als een zeer controversieel en gepolitiseerd dier in de Indiase samenleving.We bespreken onder andere:Hoe wordt de ‘Heilige Koe' in de zuivelindustrie behandeld? Waarom is de slacht van koeien verboden in de meeste Indiase staten? Hoe is de zuivelindustrie gelinkt aan de extreemrechtse beweging in India? Waarom is de koe niet gebaat bij de ‘Cow Protection Movement'?Meer info:Yamini Naraynan:https://experts.deakin.edu.au/2819-yamini-narayananhttps://x.com/YaminiNarayananhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/yamini-narayanan-48a20315/ Boek Mother Cow, Mother India: https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=34199Credits:Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Stichting The Food RevolutionVideo editing: Stef Goedhart, Stichting The Food RevolutionHelp ons het plantaardige nieuws te verspreiden: deel deze podcast.

Many countries have a fictional character who represents them. Uncle Sam for the USA, Marianne in France, Mother India. Others have a legendary figure, who was real at one point but is now shrouded in myth, like King Arthur in England. For Denmark, Holger Danske is both. He was probably real, although he didn't live in Denmark. He was a Danish knight living in France in 8th century, serving Charlemagne and he appears in several of the epic poems of the time as Ogier the Dane. When those poems were translated into Old Norsk, he became Oddgeir danski, which gradually morphed into Holger Danske. He has been a hero for centuries. And he is a sleeping hero. The legend is that when Denmark is in trouble, Holger Danske will rise from his slumber and come to its defense. This is why during World War II, when Denmark was occupied by the Nazis, one of the largest resistance groups called itself Holger Danske. If you're not Danish, you may have experienced Holger Danske in the form of consumer products. There is a Holger Danske moving company with trucks all over Denmark, a Holger Danske beer, Holger Danske Aquavit liquor, Holger Danske tobacco. There's a Holger Danske bar. Holger Danske has appeared on the Danish national football shirt.  And, very famously, there's a statue of Holger Danske in the basement of Kronborg Castle, often known as Hamlet's Castle, in Helsingør, Denmark – which Shakespeare referred to as Elsinore. I go by the castle in my new audio tour of Helsingør for VoiceMap. Check it out at voicemap.me/hamlet.  --------------

Brad speaks with journalist and scholar Philip Deslippe about the origins of yoga in the United States as a response to the precarity of South Asian lives in 20th century America. "A century ago, students of yoga in the United States, like many practitioners today, believed that they were engaging in something pure, ancient, and Indian. In reality, the yoga they were doing was a bricolage of the metaphysical and mundane presented to them in an exotic, Orientalized package by largely educated and worldly immigrants from India. These teachers were themselves responding and adapting to a nativist and racist climate. Yoga in the United States during the interwar decades is one of many examples of how Asian religions in the United States cannot be fully understood outside the context of Asian American history."

India imposes stringent criminal penalties, including life imprisonment in some states, for cow slaughter, based on a Hindu ethic of revering the cow as sacred. And yet India is among the world's leading producers of beef, leather, and milk, industries sustained by the mass slaughter of bovines. What is behind this seeming contradiction? What do bovines, deemed holy in Hinduism, experience in the Indian milk and beef industries? Yamini Narayanan asks and answers these questions, introducing cows and buffaloes as key subjects in India's cow protectionism, rather than their treatment hitherto as mere objects of political analysis. Emphasizing human–animal hierarchical relations, Narayanan argues that the Hindu framing of the cow as "mother" is one of human domination, wherein bovine motherhood is simultaneously capitalized for dairy production and weaponized by right-wing Hindu nationalists to violently oppress Muslims and Dalits.  Using ethnographic and empirical data gathered across India, Mother Cow, Mother India: A Multispecies Politics of Dairy in India (Stanford UP, 2023) reveals the harms caused to buffaloes, cows, bulls, and calves in dairying, and the exploitation required of the diverse, racialized labor throughout India's dairy production continuum to obscure such violence. Ultimately, Narayanan traces how the unraveling of human domination and exploitation of farmed animals is integral to progressive multispecies democratic politics, speculating on the real possibility of a post-dairy society, based on vegan agricultural policies for livelihoods and food security. Yash Sharma is a PhD student in Political Science at the School of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati. His research is focused on the interactions of political mobilization and anti-minority violence within Hindu nationalist organizations in India. Twitter.

Ultimately, Narayanan traces how the unraveling of human domination and exploitation of farmed animals is integral to progressive multispecies democratic politics, speculating on the real possibility of a post-dairy society, based on vegan agricultural policies for livelihoods and food security. Yash Sharma is a PhD student in Political Science at the School of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati.

India imposes stringent criminal penalties, including life imprisonment in some states, for cow slaughter, based on a Hindu ethic of revering the cow as sacred. And yet India is among the world's leading producers of beef, leather, and milk, industries sustained by the mass slaughter of bovines. What is behind this seeming contradiction? What do bovines, deemed holy in Hinduism, experience in the Indian milk and beef industries?

Just an epic rap battle between the first one and the current one

Yamini is Senior Lecturer in International and Community Development at Deakin University. Her work makes substantive contributions to the rapidly emergent field of South Asian Animal Studies through a twin focus on animals in political and urban life in India. It addresses species as an explicit identity category in Indian national politics through the intersections of #anthropocentrism, #sectarianism, and #casteism. Her book Mother Cow, Mother India offers one of the first empirical critiques of India's cow protectionism discourse and politics from a #criticalanimalstudies standpoint. Yamini publishes widely in media on issues related to animal rights, including the Animal Liberation Currents, The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, Huffington Post and Animal People Forum. She has been interviewed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, BBC Brazil, and for documentaries on cow protection politics and animal advocacy in India. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. We discuss: Welcome Yamini's Intro - Researching gender-sensitive urban development (e.g. urban transport in New Delhi & risks to women) - "It was entirely by mistake... a twist of events suddenly led me to the world of animals" - Animals and urban planning... then animals and nationalistic & identity politics in #india What's Real? - Being asked "how do you know?" when researching non-human animals - "It's also a question we need to reflect on ourselves... how much of projections... biases... are we bringing into our analyses" - "To do justice to the subjects of the work... we actually got to be very carefully reflective on this question of 'what is real?'" - Confronting "scenes of really visceral extreme physical violence & suffering"... #dairy farming, animal labour in brick kilns - Humans with "the flimsiest of protections... virtually none... but in the case of animals they have been completely disregarded as labour subjects at all" - "For me it has always been the eyes... of an animal... it is impossible to sustain any form of differentiation when we look at the eyes" - "The eyes are possibly one of the most real aspects of connection between two #sentient beings" - "When I'm talking to a butcher... or to a self-identified Hindu right-wing cow vigilante who is actually practicing a very #fascist form of politics... when I look into their eyes... it is again difficult for me to cancel or reject them completely... a window of an opportunity of connection... the eyes are a pathway into something real." - Critical studies: valuing the subjective other "any being with a perspective" - "In an Indian dairy farm animals are heavily restrained constrained... almost like concentrated animal feeding operations (#CAFO / #Factoryfarm ) of the west" - "There is very limited avenue for... expressing individual behaviour... and yet they manage..." curiosity / repulsion / impatience "almost tired of futile interventions" - Subjective and objective value and truths - The "charge of emotionalism" levied against dairy researchers (vs. rationaity and intellect)... "The separation of the mother and the infant... the visceral suffering that both the infant and the mother experience as a result... when you're seeing it on a farm it is undeniable... how loud and how charged a calf's bleating for its mother can be" ...and much more.

Yamini Narayanan is back on the show, this time to talk to Claudia about her book Mother Cow, Mother India. They focus their discussion on the concept of “Mother” and what it means for cows in India. They touch on the implications of cows being sacralised as mothers of the Hindu nation and what cows' daily lives, as mothers, are like.  Date Recorded: 25 April 2023.  Yamini Narayanan is an Associate Professor of International and Community Development at Deakin University, Melbourne. Her new book Mother Cow, Mother India explores the nexus between dairying and right-wing authoritarianism that underpins India's cow protection politics. Her work is supported by two Australian Research Council grants. Yamini is currently researching animals in enforced and coercive labour in India's brick kilns, exploring an anti-anthropocentric politics of poverty. She is a lifelong Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, an honour that is conferred through nomination or invitation only.

Namaste Vannakam Divine Beings, I am Nandhiji. My ancestors are the Pandyas. The Sengol was the traditional process of transfer of power of Consciousness in Dharma of all southern kings- the Cholas, Pandyas, Cheras & the smaller dynasties, going beyond in time to earliest Sangam - the Tamil age of Lemuria preceding the Mohenjo Daro & Harappa civilization. The Sengol is referred to mostly as Dharma Danda throughout the Indian subcontinent as the rule by righteousness. The Mahabharatham wisdom of Bheeshma illustrates the highest principles of governance by way of the Dharma Danda. From a word which a few knew, Sengol is now in the thought of every Indian as the world learns of the sublime leadership principles of humanity. Prime Minister Modiji rightfully assumes the Sengol leadership to usher India as a responsible global superpower. The Sengol represents the highest aspiration of each of us awake as in the new Parliament. This transitional period of Mother India assuming the role of Viswa Guru to humanity is the Sengol mark of history in our times. The Sengol's origin is of Thiruvannalalai Lord Siva, the Pillar of Light- Source of Consciousness.The Sengol is the life leadership we assume. The 18 empowering wisdom of the Sengol is enlightened self mastery and each of us together in intent, prayers and realities as One people. 1Sengol holds the first teachings of Mother India in the greetings to each other- Namaste! We realize each other as Divine. We worship each other. We realize Ahimsa, nonviolence as the highest principle of the land. 2Nandhi the sacred bull of Lord Siva is our mind awake in Consciousness in unions with God, Goddess, Absolute, Almighty, Source, Light. Nandhi is the Adi Guru, the first Gurus realized within ourselves. 3Sengol is the enlightened wisdom of the vedanta, advaita. All awake masters across the globe through history attained the threshold of singularity in knowing the eternal truth- Sanatana Dharma, the religion of the Liberated. 4Sengol represents our true awake nature of being the Cosmic Child Lord Muruga Sengolanathar- the Leader of Consciousness unlimited in the power of infinity. 5The Sacred Staff Danda is the Pillar of Light within each of us awake and arising upwards through the 33 vertebrae spine to shine in all our potentials. 6Sengol is the reverence of the Divine Feminine. Where Women are respected and honored as Shakti, the land thrives in happiness. 7Sengol is Yogam, the blessings of yoga as in health & vitality, harmony and peace, love and fulfillment, joy and inspiration, knowledge and wisdom. 8Sengol is the collective tapas grace of all Sages with intent- Saivam Vetri, the leadership greetings of King Raja Raja Chola. 9Sengol is the vortex of collective Consciousness that protects each other, the nation in defense & security, and all of humanity in safety. 10Sengol ushers prosperity for all. Where consciousness is, abundance, genius, creativity, foresight, intelligence & intellect 8shines. 11Sengol is Leadership by might of Consciousness that is superior to limited physical strength. 12Sengol is our individual I becoming the We. In realizing ourselves beyond ego, We are unlimited - beyond mind and fate. We are masters of our destiny. 13Sengol is Dharma Danda, the seat of Consciousness of highest wisdom, righteousness and optimal decision making. 14Sengol is the evolution of the animal within to be the human and the human to be the Divine. We evolve as human civilization. 15Sengol represents the grace of our Ancestors. We bow in respect and love to our Elders. 16Sengol is the higher thinking that encourages science, freedo

Happy Belated Valentines Day! How Are you feeling this week  - the week when this day we are told should be all about Love falls?  Loved? Lonely?  Bewildered? Confused? Frustrated? Sad? Alone? I had some questions of my own when I returned to the magic sands of Goa a few weeks ago. But after 12 days Reconnecting to source and doing the things I LOVE  - life took a delightful and much needed UP turn. From seeing heart shaped leaves in the trees to the incredible stories of the ways Bees interact and create food for us without us asking them to or needing anything from us to do so, there they are,  unconditionally doing their thing and providing us for us. Just. Bee-ing. I witnessed a female farmer tell me the story of the ways trees pollinate and make LOVE through the wind and are  often just as confused as the rest of us -  but the farmers are patient   and so very accepting and love them no matter what sex they turn out to be, because it takes almost a decade to find out whether their LOVE will create anything at all. All this got me thinking and observing....and eventually after riding motorbikes and feeling the wind in my hair, getting back on my yoga matt and bending and breathing and  eating salads, devouring tropical fruits and playing Beach Volley ball and getting grounded with my feet back in the sand?  I am back in my body. I gave myself the gift of some space to process a whole bunch of feelings I couldn´t make time for back home in the busyness of reality.....and I wantred to share some of this with you today.  So, In todays 30 minute episode, I give you five little LOVE nuggets of my time away. Take from it what you will..... let it wash over you. I would love to hear any thoughts or revoews of the episode if you have time on our Apple Podcasts page.  And if you don´t care about India? Fear not!!  Next week we are back on Ibiza stories and people again. BUT???    if you wish to follow AND hear more info inbetween podcasts, and support my new newsletter, I shall be writing weekly effort, starting next week, with excerpts, give aways and pictures from island life, so DO please come and subscribe on my brand new page and first letter,  Coming VERY Soon:   The Reset Rebel Substack

Monica Juneja and Sumathi Ramaswamy's Motherland: Pushpamala N.'s 'Woman and Nation' (Roli Books, 2022) examines Motherland, an important series of photo-performances by the acclaimed artist Pushpamala N. on the Indian nation personified as woman, mother, and goddess. The series shows Pushpamala taking on Mother India's myriad personifications: nubile beauty and saintly renunciant; militant goddess wearing a garland of skulls or receiving the ultimate sacrifice of a warrior's head; the mother-surgeon activating the birth of model citizens; and destitute widow, bent from years of abject labor. As she does so, she reveals that nations are invented, as are national embodiments. The artist's burden is to reveal the ingredients of such inventions.

This week we discuss Kris Jenner, sexy moms, and why selfish mothers get a bad rap.  ‘Respectfully Disagree' is The Swaddle Team's very own podcast series, in which we get together to discuss and dissect the issues we passionately differ on.

Be Here Now under Maharajji's blanket as Hunter and Baba Here Love discuss grieving, the divine mother and more. We relate all we discuss to our spiritual awakening. “At one point Maharaji said, “See everything as the Mother and you will know God.” What was he talking about? seeing your mother in everything? We, Westerners. Have our share of relationship complexities with our mothers. With interpretations galore courtesy of Dr. Freud. The view of the mother in India is different. The country is called Mother India. A Western devotee once told Maharaji he hated his mother. And nobody understood what he was saying. The concept didn't make it across the cultural barrier. In India the mother is so deeply respected and revered, there was no way that statement could be understood. There is an Indian saying that there may be bad children. But there are no bad mothers. The Divine Mother, the Goddess, has many dimensions. In the broadest sense consciousness and energy. Eternal spirit and matter are male and female. Out of the One in the first glimmer of duality comes Purusha. The formless spirit. Prakriti, the cosmic energy that coalesces into form. As God and Goddess. They are Shiva. Who personifies pure absolute consciousness and the seed of procreation, and Shakti. Who manifests infinite forms.” - Ram Dass राम राम राम RAMA RAMA RAMA --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/baba-here-love/support

Hello world,With a new month comes a new theme. November is International Cinema Month as a way to celebrate the cinematic tradition of our listenership's native lands. Our first episode highlights Indian film from the Bollywood tradition. Mother India (1957) is a gripping historic epic about the formation of modern India in the shadow of Imperialism's end, while also calling on rich Hindi religious tradition and themes.

In 2014, Debayan Sen was cleaning the family attic in Kolkata when he made an unexpected discovery: a dusty, old vinyl record called Disco Jazz. What astonished him was that his mother Rupa was on the cover. Debayan had no idea his very traditional Indian mother had even had a music career. Not only would that album reveal Rupa's secret disco past but also an underground fanbase of millions worldwide.

A conversation with Rishabha Nayyar with Jasravee Kaur Chandra in this new episode of Jagged with Jasravee addresses some key questions like What are the current stereotypes of men in advertising and popular culture? How to un-stereotype men and develop a progressive narrative for men? Why do we make men appear as villain, whenever we make woman a hero ? Why can't a brand redefine how a man ought to be ? Why can't men potrayal be real and authentic in popular culture? Rishabha argues than 'bashing men' has become a formula for every FMCG brand trying to woo the women. Create the man to be a villain. A good for nothing, unreasonable and demanding character who would probably even put the Bollywood villains to shame. He comes across as Mogambo of movie ‘Mr India'. Rishabha analyses advertising and cinema in our country over the last 10 years and comes up with typical stereotypes of men in popular culture Macho Man : Very brave, risk-taking and adventurous. Boys envy him and girls adore him. Fear or vulnerability are not word that exist in his dictionary Insensitive Man: Believes that while the Mughals have left the country, he is still their descendant and should therefore be treated like royalty. Will sit and do nothing. For him everyone is a servant Provider : He is the male version of ‘Mother India' in the context of doing things for others. He lives to only fulfil the dreams of everyone other than himself. He gets great joy in never doing something that makes him happy Rishabha asks the fundamental question- Why does a man need to be the ‘Chief wage Earner'? Why can't he be one of the wage earners.Why put so much pressure on him. He believes that the man of tomorrow wants to do things for the family but also fulfil his own dreams and desires. He wants to be a co-parent and not the absent parent. An interesting case in point is the SBI Life ad wherein the husband quits his job and lives his dream of doing a stand-up comedy Rishabha argues that the problem with continuing to put out the traditional masculine stereotypes is two-fold. One we are being as unfair to men, like we we were to women, in the past. If un-stereotype women is a movement, then we should start a similar movement for men. Secondly, we are slowing down the pace of change for men in the society as the role models that we are putting out are regressive, dated and stereo-typical. Rishaba thinks that what is missing when it comes to the narrative on men is authenticity. Neither is the guy in the ‘Share the Load' ad real nor is the ‘Complete Man'. Why does the take on men have to be so black and white? As with all things in life, men too have their greys. Why can't brands project them like that? The problem with the extreme projections that we currently have is that they are devoid of reality and as a result do not set the right expectations.He rounds it by discussing issues like should men themselves stop shying away from the reality and openly express their vulnerability / and raise a voice against incorrect portrayal . #whatmenwant​​ #consumertrends​ #thecompleteman be real and authentic ?

Dr. Mrinalini Sinha is the Alice Freeman Palmer professor in the department of history, and professor in the departments of English language and literature, and of women's studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Sinha has written on various aspects of the political history of colonial India with the focus on anti-colonialism, gender and trans national approaches. Her first book, Colonial Masculinity, the manly Englishman and the effeminate Bengali, sought to combine British and Indian history and brought gender analysis to bear on questions of high politics, to understand a critical moment and the relationship between colonialism and nationalism in India. Her subsequent book, Specters of Mother India, the global restructuring of an empire, explores the post first world war changes in the British empire, especially their implications in India. The book received the Albion Book Prize, awarded annually by the North American Conference on British Studies, and the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize 2007, awarded annually by the American Historical Association. Dr. Sinha has also published widely in journals and in edited collections. She has been a recipient of several fellowships, including from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the American Philosophical Society. Dr. Sinha has also served as a president of the Association of Asian Studies, a scholarly, nonpolitical, nonprofit, professional association, representing all the regions and countries of Asia and all academic disciplines. In this episode Dr. Sinha discusses populist nationalism and its rise globally but especially in the US under Trump and now in India with recent legislature nicknamed 'Love Jihad'. Dr. Sinha reviews Gandhian visions for India and democracy and the fact that Gandhi asserted that Democracy is not just around a shared identity based on ascribed caste, religion, race, but also on a shared understanding of injustice.

An extraordinary political melodrama about liberation struggles in colonial settings, produced by its female star and released at the same time as Mehboob Kahn's Mother India, with which it would ideally be programmed. When we began this podcast I was a bit anxious that we weren't knowledgeable enough on Chahine's oeuvre to say anything worth listening to. But as I've began reading the literature on Chahine, I realise that what we know and can bring to the table is a knowledge of film history and film aesthetics. None of the books on Chahine I've read mention the influence of Gone With the Wind on this film -- extraordinarily interesting in the light of current discussions of the film -- and we are beginning to dig out patterning: the melodramatic mode, the politics that underpin, the extraordinary long takes often shot in and for depth, the filming from the inside out, the mobile camera, the ease with which affect is generated, the cinephilia through which one sees and where one detects the influence of Dreyer's Joan of Arc, Sirk's mise-en-scène, American post-war musicals; the homoeroticism more evident in some film than others but always a running thread; the filming of individuals with crowds, which are often depicted as community but also shown to turn against the individual. This is a film based on a true story and filmed in the heat of the moment where the fate of the heroine was not yet settled. It's an extraordinary film that once more raises questions regarding the relations between political cinema and film form. We highly recommend it.

If you see one Bollywood film in your life, it should probably be Mahboob Khan's Mother India (1957) a harrowing tale of the struggles of an Indian woman from her marriage to a doomed fieldworker to her disappointment in her two grown sons. One critic called the film India's answer to Gone with the Wind (1939), and this pretty much hits the mark.  Mother India is exemplary of Mahboob Khan's work, featuring a female protagonist who defeats the odds (both financial and familial) to make it to the top.  A Technicolor masterpiece, the film unfortunately is rarely seen today except by classic Bollywood fans.
