This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're trying to keep all our paper's straight. Once again, it was a busy news week as the world came to Canada, or at least the heads of the biggest and most powerful countries did. Also, we get to talk about a new war, apparently because we've run out of things to say about the old wars while closer to home, we'll go back to the Quatro and talk to a member of city council from the west end of the city. This Thursday, June 19, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Nothing But a G7 Thing. This week, the leaders of the Group of 7 nations came to town in Kananaskis, Alberta and there were many different topics on the table, but for Prime Minister Mark Carney this was another big test for him as host. So what happened? Well, Donald Trump came and grumbled and then left early, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni got memed and special guests Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Narendra Modi stopped by. Despite all that though is the G7 even a thing anymore? Back to Bomb Iran. With Gaza still a war zone, international leaders are worried about a seeming race to regime replacement as Israel launched an attack on Iran last week. Benjamin Netanyahu says the goal is to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, but cynics in Israel and around the world think its Netanyahu's attempt to avoid political comeuppance at home. In the middle is the United States because Donald Trump doesn't want a war in one breath while threatening Iran in the next. So what now? Back to the Quatro. Earlier this year Ward 4 City Councillor Linda Busuttil took over as the head of the Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee, putting a Guelph face at the head of a government board that oversees Wellington County services. It's a big move, but it's bringing more attention to City/County relations and their role in developing more housing. Busuttil will talk about that relationship, plus working with new Canadians and why doing your taxes is important in the fight against poverty. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Narendra Modi will Indien zur Wirtschaftsmacht machen. Für seine dritte Amtszeit hat der indische Regierungschef versprochen: Indien wird drittgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt, soll also Japan und Deutschland überholen. Das bevölkerungsreichste Land der Welt boomt, die Regierung investiert massiv in die Infrastruktur. Bereits jetzt produziert Indien 30 Prozent der weltweiten Generika, also der Nachahmer-Medikamente, sowie 60 Prozent der Impfstoffe. Andreas Franz, ARD-Korrespondent im Studio Neu Delhi, berichtet von Aufsteigern und von den Schattenseiten. Denn Indien wird auch dafür kritisiert, zu wenig für öffentliche Güter zu tun, also für gute Luft, sauberes Wasser und Bildung für alle. Und Dirk Dohse vom Institut für Weltwirtschaft in Kiel ordnet ein, inwiefern Indien heute schon ein wichtiger Partner für Deutschland und die EU ist. ----- Moderation: Joana Jäschke Redaktion: Steffi Fetz Mitarbeit: Caroline Mennerich Redaktionsschluss: 19.6.2025 ----- Unser Podcast Tipp für diese Woche: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/dark-matters-geheimnisse-der-geheimdienste/12449787/ ----- Alle Folgen des Weltspiegel Podcasts findet ihr hier: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/weltspiegel-podcast/61593768/

Tel Aviv and Tehran trade missiles as Trump weighs military action "Tel Aviv and Tehran continue to exchange missile salvos on the seventh day of escalating conflict, as Israeli pressure mounts on US President Donald Trump to intervene. Trump has reportedly approved military plans but has yet to decide whether to authorise an attack on Iran. Meanwhile, dozens of protesters gathered outside the White House, opposing another US military intervention in the Middle East. Only 16 percent of Americans support US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, according to a YouGov poll. Israel launched strikes on Iran on Friday, targeting military positions and nuclear sites, killing senior officials, scientists, and hundreds of civilians. Iran responded with a barrage of missiles aimed at key Israeli positions." Putin: Iran's uranium sites intact despite Israeli strikes "More from the conflict between Israel and Iran... Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Iran's underground uranium sites remain untouched despite fierce Israeli airstrikes, as Iranian society rallies behind its leadership. Speaking in St. Petersburg, Putin urged a balanced resolution — protecting Iran's right to peaceful nuclear power and Israel's right to security. With US President Trump weighing intervention and Iranians fleeing the capital, Putin revealed he had held direct talks with Trump and Netanyahu, stressing diplomacy over escalation." Trump and Pakistan's Munir meet to discuss regional peace, trade "US President Donald Trump praised Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, for playing a pivotal role in averting a war with nuclear-armed India. Meeting privately in Washington, the two discussed regional tensions, including Iran and potential trade deals. Trump credited both Munir and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for de-escalating recent hostilities, calling their efforts “extremely influential.” The meeting marks a renewed tie between the US and Pakistan amid heightened tensions in South Asia and the Middle East." Rescue teams search as 700+ missing in Nigeria floods "More than seven-hundred people remain missing three weeks after devastating flash floods struck Niger state in central Nigeria, officials say. At least two-hundred-and-seven-bodies have been recovered, with four-hundred-homes destroyed and over three-thousand-residents displaced. Rescue teams continue their urgent search amid fears the toll could rise. Nigeria's rainy season, worsened by climate change and poor infrastructure, is expected to bring more flooding, threatening millions across the country. " US Fed holds interest rates, warns of economic uncertainty "The US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady between four-point-twentyfive percent and four-point-fifty percent after its two-day meeting, signalling two rate cuts later this year. Despite its cautious stance, President Trump lashed out, calling Fed Chair Jerome Powell “stupid” for not lowering rates faster. The Fed also lowered its 2025 growth forecast to one-point-four percent while raising inflation and unemployment projections, underscoring economic uncertainties amid ongoing tariff pressures. Officials remain watchful, balancing risks in a volatile landscape."

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.1. Trump Flexes Muscle in Middle East The Iran-Israel conflict has entered a dangerous sixth day, and the U.S. is rapidly reinforcing its military posture. President Donald Trump warned Iran that America's “patience is wearing thin,” claiming full control of the skies over Iran—signaling potential U.S. strikes on Iran's underground Fordow nuclear site. B-2 stealth bombers carrying GBU-57 bunker-busters remain on standby, while destroyers and carrier groups are repositioned across the Red Sea, Mediterranean, and Arabian Sea. Fighter jets and refueling tankers are active across the Middle East and Europe. U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian missile strikes targeting Israel, while Israel pounded oil depots near Tehran. Death tolls are rising—224 civilians in Iran and 24 in Israel. Trump has demanded Iran's “unconditional surrender” but stopped short of targeting the Iranian leader “for now.” After years of tension, PM Modi and newly elected Canadian PM Mark Carney hit the reset button in Kananaskis, Canada, during the G7 Summit. This was their first meeting since Carney took office and follows the diplomatic fallout over the 2023 killing of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Both leaders emphasized shared values of democracy and cooperation on AI, energy, and counterterrorism. They also agreed to restore full diplomatic representation, signaling a thaw in bilateral ties. Modi called Canada an important partner and highlighted growing investments on both sides. MakeMyTrip is raising up to $3 billion to buy back shares from Chinese backer Trip.com, aiming to slash its voting power from 45.34% to below 20%. The Indian travel platform will raise funds via equity and convertible senior notes—14 million shares are on offer, possibly rising to 16.1 million. In a world increasingly wary of Chinese stakes in Indian tech, MMT's move is both strategic and symbolic—asserting independence while positioning itself as an investor-diversified digital travel leader. Israeli data analytics startup Coralogix is doubling down on India, deploying most of its $115M Series E funding to scale R&D, cybersecurity, and AI operations in the country. India now ranks among Coralogix's top three global markets. The company is expanding its Gurgaon HQ, planning a new Bengaluru office, and staffing aggressively in BFSI, edtech, and fintech sectors. Its cybersecurity unit, SnowBit, already has its global HQ in India. With a projected $3.3B cybersecurity market in 2025, Coralogix is betting on India as both a tech talent hub and a revenue engine. Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) is investing ₹12,000 crore to add 250 ktpa of zinc production in the first phase of its plan to double output to 2 million tonnes. The expansion includes a new smelter in Debari, mine upgrades, and a sharp focus on cutting production costs to below $950/tonne in three years. Beyond zinc, HZL is eyeing India's rare earth opportunity, seeking permission to tap monazite reserves. With global supply chains shifting, HZL is positioning itself at the heart of India's critical mineral strategy. 2. India, Canada Reset Ties at G73. MakeMyTrip Cuts Chinese Stake4.

India began its Crocodile Conservation programme in 1975, and this year marks 50 years of this initiative, one that has been more successful than most. India is home to three main kinds of crocodile species – the gharial, the salt water crocodile or salties, and the muggers. These species face increasing threats from habitat loss, poachers, pollution, riparian agriculture, artificial embankments, construction of barrages and dams, and illegal sand-mining. On the eve of World Crocodile Day, which falls on June 17, we look back at 50 years of crocodile conservation, the status of these endangered species as of today, and what is in store with the recent launch of the New Gharial Project by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Guest: Professor B.C. Choudhury, eminent wildlife scientist who has worked on crocodile conservation since 1975. Host: G Sampath Edited by Jude Francis Weston Learn more about your ad choices.

Suryavanshi's recent performances have also led to many fans calling for his Indian senior team debut, with comparisons with Sachin only intensifying on social media. However, former India spinner Venkatapathy Raju doesn't think so.

Quelques heures après les premières frappes indiennes contre le Pakistan, en réponse à l'attaque au Cachemire le 22 avril dernier, la machine commerciale s'est mise en marche en Inde. Des entrepreneurs ont rapidement lancé des t-shirts, casquettes et produits dérivés aux couleurs de l'opération militaire indienne baptisée Sindoor – du nom de la poudre rouge dont les épouses hindoues parent la racine de leurs cheveux. Une vague de consommation nationaliste hindou qui gagne du terrain, portée par le souffle du conflit. De notre correspondante à New Delhi, Gourdes, enceintes et surtout vêtements aux messages bien tranchés. En Inde, le nationalisme s'affiche en grand. En tête des ventes en ce moment : un tee-shirt blanc barré d'un rouge éclatant, avec l'inscription « Opération Sindoor ». Pour le créateur de la marque, ce n'est pas qu'un effet de mode, c'est une façon assumée de revendiquer son patriotisme. « Ce design ne relève pas seulement de la mode. Il rend hommage au courage et au sacrifice de nos soldats, tout en sensibilisant aux réalités auxquelles ils sont confrontés. L'opération Sindoor symbolise le courage, le patriotisme et l'esprit de l'Inde », estime-t-il. Dans ce quartier riche du sud de New Delhi, même les écrans publicitaires diffusent des visuels glorifiant l'opération militaire indienne. Un élan patriotique que Kashish assume pleinement : « Un jour, c'est sûr, je voudrais porter ce t-shirt. L'opération Sindoor est l'une des plus grandes opérations que l'Inde ait menées jusqu'à présent. Ou même dans toute une vie, on peut le dire. » Sur Internet comme dans les rayons des librairies, le nationalisme indien est omniprésent. Ramesh, libraire, constate une hausse des ventes de livres sur les conflits passés. « Après Sindoor, les livres sur les guerres de 1965 et 1971 sont très demandés », confirme-t-il. C'est en fait le gouvernement indien qui est à l'origine de cette communication minutieuse pour susciter un fort sentiment nationaliste. « Je pense que c'est à ce moment-là que le gouvernement indien a très habilement pris la décision de rendre cette opération militaire "vendable", de la présenter de manière compréhensible et accessible pour le public national – en l'appelant, tout d'abord, l'opération Sindoor. Ce nom vise, encore une fois, à toucher une corde sensible émotionnelle chez le public indien, en disant que l'opération a été lancée pour venger la perte des maris de ces femmes qui se trouvaient au Cachemire au moment de l'attentat. Construire une narration autour de cette opération de contre-terrorisme a donc été crucial pour le gouvernement indien », explique Kunal Puro-hit, auteur et journaliste indien. Depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en 2014, Narendra Modi s'est emparé des codes de la culture populaire pour imprimer sa vision. Clips musicaux, films patriotiques, slogans viraux : tout est bon pour ancrer sa vision dans l'imaginaire collectif indien. À lire aussiInde-Pakistan: les armes se taisent, pas la désinformation

Listen to the latest SBS Hindi news from India. 13/06/2025.

G7 leaders are preparing to meet in Kananaskis, Alta. starting this weekend, with the agenda likely to shift to the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is also drawing criticism. Yves Tiberghien, UBC political science professor, joins the show to discuss how the conference could play out as we ask viewers what the G7 summit should accomplish.

閣議に臨む石破茂首相、１３日午前、首相官邸石破茂首相は１３日、インドで旅客機が墜落した事故を受け、同国のモディ首相に「心からの哀悼の意を表する」とのメッセージを送った。 Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Friday sent a message of condolences to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following a devastating airplane crash in the South Asian country.

A Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner aircraft operated by Air India that was bound for London crashed shortly after taking off in Ahmedabad, in what stands to be the worst accident involving the US planemaker’s most advanced widebody airliner. Flight AI171 was carrying 242 passengers and crew. Video footage shared on social media showed a giant plume of smoke engulfing the crash site, with no reports of survivors. The aircraft entered a slow descent shortly after taking off, with its landing gear still extended before exploding into a huge fireball upon impact. The crash took place in a residential area, which could mean a higher death toll. The twin-engine plane had reached an altitude of 625 feet (190.5 meters) at a speed of 174 knots, according to data from Flightradar24. The accident extends a series of serious and fatal incidents in the civil aviation industry this year, including a mid-air collision in Washington early in 2025 between a military helicopter and an aircraft. Air India is in the middle of a strategic turnaround that includes a huge aircraft order as it seeks to tap growing demand from a rising Indian middle class. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the accident is “heartbreaking beyond words,” according to a statement, adding that he’s been in touch with ministers and authorities assisting the salvage operation.Boeing shares fell 7% in premarket US trading. The 787 is the company’s most advanced in-service aircraft and is popular with airlines because it is more fuel efficient thanks to its use of lightweight composite materials. Boeing said it’s “aware of initial reports and are working to gather more information.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are many reasons why Bihari politicians see PM Modi's Hanuman Chirag's tail on fire as he enters the poll fray, ThePrint Political Editor DK Singh elaborates in this episode of #PoliticallyCorrect  

On April 22, 2025, gunmen in the town of Pahalgam, located in the disputed region of Kashmir, killed 26 people—mostly Indian tourists. A four-day military clash between India and Pakistan ensued, bringing both countries to the brink of a full-blown war, before a ceasefire was reached on May 10, 2025. During the India-Pakistan clashes, Beijing urged both sides to deescalate and called for a “political settlement through peaceful means.” But China did not play a neutral role in the conflict. Consistent with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's purported statement to his Pakistani counterpart that “China fully understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests,” China reportedly provided intelligence, satellite equipment, and other forms of support to Pakistan before and during the clashes.To analyze China's role in the conflict, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Andrew Small. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and author of two books on China, including “The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics,” which is now ten years old, but remains an insightful and relevant study. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:46] China's Diplomatic Response to the India-Pakistan Clashes[05:58] Beijing's Offer of Playing a “Constructive Role”[10:56] A Testing Ground for Chinese Weaponry and Equipment[14:03] China's Cautious Approach to Sino-Indian Relations[18:10] Military Support and the Sino-Pakistan Relationship[23:44] Implications for Chinese Arms Exports[26:27] Indian and Pakistani Assessments of Chinese Involvement[30:06] Influence of US-China Rivalry on India-Pakistan Relations

Canada's industry minister Mélanie Joly tells us she'll do everything in her power to protect steel and aluminum jobs, in the face of punishing U.S. tariffs. A volunteer firefighter from Saskatchewan tells us about battling a blaze that would eventually engulf his community, and his home. After years of diplomatic tension, Canada appears to be mending fences with India. But some members of the Sikh diaspora won't give Narendra Modi a warm welcome.  The case of a woman accused of killing her inlaws by serving them poisonous mushrooms has Australia glued to coverage. We hear from a reporter covering her trial.The piping hot rivalry between two Ontario cities over who makes the best pizza pits shredded pepperoni and canned mushrooms against extreme cheese and a dough ball.It's traditional in Spain for seniors to sit outdoors and chat with friends, so when one town implied they should take it inside, some angry people wanted to take it outside.As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that thinks: from where we sit, there's nothing wrong with where they sit. 

One Canadian Economy – not just a bill tabled today in the House of Commons, but a cornerstone of Prime Minister Mark Carney's policy approach.Carney invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 in Alberta later this month. The relationship between the two countries has been strained for several years. The RCMP has detailed allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in widespread violence in Canada, including homicides.And: Saskatchewan's premier Scott Moe says two people have been charged with setting fires in the province. It's not clear how large those fires got. But what is clear: thousands of people are out of their homes, waiting to find out for how long. And some are getting frustrated with the services available and the process to get them.Also: After the heated words of a nasty breakup – came the silence. But their spectacular public blow out yesterday still has the world wondering – what happens next as two of the world's most powerful and erratic men square off?Plus: Russia strikes Ukraine, school boards urged to buy Canadian, and more.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 6, 2025, Matt and Jen open with a wide-ranging look at U.S.–Canada relations — and the increasingly difficult balancing act both countries are trying to manage. The Americans need to show they're getting wins. Canada needs to show it's not caving. That creates a dangerous mismatch in incentives, especially under an unpredictable U.S. administration. Matt and Jen also reflect on the passing of Marc Garneau — a Canadian hero and, for many, a symbol of what our politics used to feel like. But even that moment of mourning sparked backlash online, with public anger toward the Trudeau era spilling over into places it doesn't belong. The rage isn't fading. It's just finding new targets.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada. Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps, including giving adult smokers the information they need to choose potentially less harmful alternatives. Learn more at Unsmoke.ca.In the second segment, your hosts ask: can only Carney "go to China”? Or rather, can he take on major national challenges — like internal trade barriers, resource development, and a strained relationship with India — precisely because they're problems the Liberals helped cause? There's some evidence of a pivot already. And in late-breaking news, Narendra Modi has been invited to the G7. Matt and Jen ask the obvious question: was ending (alleged!) state-sponsored assassinations in Canada a precondition for the invite?Finally, in Segment 3: the big, beautiful breakup. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are at war. Yes, it's hilarious. But it's also dangerous. Their falling out could unleash chaos — not just between their egos, but among their armies of online followers, institutional proxies, and political hangers-on. It's going to get ugly. And the U.S. might feel the damage for a long time.All that, and more, in the latest episode of The Line Podcast. Like and subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca, or find us on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode. And if you're enjoying the show, post about it online, tell a friend — or just mutter “only Carney can go to India” under your breath the next time you see a G7 headline. We'll know what you mean.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 4th of June and here are the headlines.1. Multi-party Delegation Briefs EAM on Anti-Terror Diplomacy TourA multi-party delegation led by BJP leader Baijayant Panda met External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar after returning from visits to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria to rally support against Pakistan-backed terrorism. The team included MPs and leaders across party lines, including Asaduddin Owaisi and Ghulam Nabi Azad. The delegation briefed Jaishankar on their findings, highlighting India's global rise under PM Modi. They said India's economic and diplomatic strength is helping forge international partnerships on trade and counterterrorism. Jaishankar lauded their outreach efforts.2. Monsoon Session of Parliament Set to Begin July 21Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the Monsoon session of Parliament will begin on July 21 and run until August 12. The session was recommended by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will convene at 11 a.m. after a three-month recess. The session's announcement comes amid calls by opposition parties for an urgent special session to discuss Operation Sindoor—India's major military strike on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir earlier this year.3. Punjab YouTuber Held for Links to Pakistan Spy NetworkPunjab Police arrested Jasbir Singh, a YouTuber from Rupnagar, for alleged involvement in a Pakistani spy network. Singh, who runs the channel ‘Jaan Mahal', was nabbed by the State Special Operations Cell in Mohali. Authorities say he is linked to Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, a Pakistani intelligence operative, and maintained close ties with Haryana YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra—previously arrested on similar charges—and a Pakistani High Commission official. The espionage network is believed to be terror-backed. Investigations are ongoing into the extent of Singh's involvement and communication with Pakistan-based handlers.4. RCB Victory Parade Cancelled, Celebration at Stadium InsteadRoyal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cancelled its IPL victory parade on Wednesday, originally planned from Vidhan Soudha to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Bengaluru Traffic Police confirmed the cancellation, stating the team would instead meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at the Vidhan Soudha. A celebration is now scheduled at the stadium. RCB had earlier announced the parade on social media, thanking fans for their unwavering support over 18 seasons. The franchise won its first IPL title this year, prompting city-wide excitement. Fans can now attend the celebration directly at the stadium later today.5. Trump Doubles Tariffs on Global Steel, Aluminium ImportsU.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday doubling tariffs on nearly all steel and aluminium imports to 50 percent, citing national security concerns. The hike—effective Wednesday—follows his 2018 move imposing 25 percent tariffs under the Trade Expansion Act's Section 232. The UK, which recently signed a trade deal with the U.S., is exempt and will maintain the current 25 percent rate. Trump's decision marks a significant escalation in his administration's trade policy, as Washington continues to pressure nations for fairer deals and increased domestic metal production.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Eleven years have passed since Narendra Modi first took oath as Prime Minister. In episode 1669 of #CutTheClutter Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta analyses the 11 key takeaways from this period. He is joined by Political Editor D.K. Singh to gauge the impact of BJP's reforms, hardening stance on terror, and outreach to minority communities.

Send us a textWhy I Killed Gandhi  by Nathuram Godse Two employees of the Israeli Embassy in D. C. were shot to death this week (May, 2025) . The Manifesto of the shooter shows him to be very distressed by the mass death in  Gaza.  He felt what is called "the moral imperative to act."  So did the person who killed Gandhi. This is a discussion of that person's manifesto.  Gandhi was assassinated in 1948.  In the two movies I have seen, the assassin is portrayed as a deranged bearded scary-looking fanatic.  Some of those words might well be justified, but we are never told that the assassin was an exceptionally well educated, well-read reformer, someone who hated the caste system and looked forward to a modern India.  His name was Nathuram Godse.  He was tried for Gandhi's murder and hanged.  He knew from the beginning that he would be executed for his action, but he did it anyway.  He saw himself as a patriot for his people.  During the year or so that he was waiting for his trial, he wrote a lengthy statement discussing his life and his philosophy and his reasons for what he did.  During his trial, he was allowed to read a shortened version of that longer text.  This is the text I am going to read for you during this podcast. I hope you will forgive my bad pronunciation of some of these Indian names.  They are strange to me, and all I can do is pronounce them in a phonetic way, phonetic as I understand them.  Below are a few of the names and terms but there were others – for example intellectuals and political leaders – that I did not include.  I suspect if we read their writings we would understand much more than we understand now, but that will have to wait for another time. My students considered this a shocking document.  It was not shocking because this person killed Gandhi – we knew that --  but because it was logical.  Some of you know from another podcast, my Rules of Good Studenting.  In a class where we deal with political movements and ideologies that may offend, two of the most shocking Rules are these:  “Until you can understand an argument well enough to explain it to the satisfaction of someone who holds that view, and defend it from its critics, you do not understand it well enough to know if you agree or disagree. “  Well, that excludes maybe 90 % of the people who get into arguments.  But my students found it liberating, that they were allowed to understand arguments that offended and terrified them. A second Rule is this one:  “If you were there, you would be there.”  Or as I put it to my students, every single thing we will encounter in this class, no matter how shocking or offensive, you would quite possibly do it you were in the condition of the person who did it and had experienced all the things that person had experienced.   Again, that is distressing.  You would kill and even participate in a massacre?  I would?  Yes, you would.  And if you think you would not you are not thinking deeply enough.  My students considered this one of the most disturbing things we read during the whole semester, that the person who assassinated the saintly Gandhi  was a thoughtful intellectual who made sense (even if we disagree with him). Some termsHindutva --  Hindu nationalist ideology.  Linked to the BJP party of Prime Minister Modi. Mahatma (term of respect for Gandhi)Moghul Empire (Muslim conquerors of India)Satyagraha:  Gandhi's philosophy of active, non-violent resistanceHindi and Hindustani   A “real” language and a bastard language created to mollify MuslimsMohammed Ali Jinnah.  The first president of Pakistan.  Warning:  Don't expect to like this podcast.&nbs

After several months of steadily improving ties, India-China relations appear to be cooling once again following the recent clashes in Kashmir. China's military support for Pakistan during the conflict earlier this month has triggered fresh concerns in New Delhi, with many now fearing that the fragile détente built over the past year is starting to unravel. Tensions further escalated in recent days after Beijing announced new names for dozens of locations along the disputed border with India, drawing strong backlash from the Indian media. Meanwhile, the Indian government has banned several Chinese state-run media accounts on the social platform X. Joining Eric from New Delhi is Sushant Singh, a lecturer in South Asian Studies at Yale University, who breaks down the current state of Sino-Indian relations in the aftermath of the Kashmir conflict. Sushant also explains why observers should ignore India's noisy mainstream media and instead pay close attention to what Prime Minister Narendra Modi does—or doesn't—say about China.

Radhika Desai returns to PTO to talk about the latest round of violence between India and Pakistan, following the terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists in Indian administered Kashmir on April 22nd. We discussed the situation in Jammu and Kashmir since 2019, when the Hindu nationalist government of Narendra Modi revoked the territory's special status under the Indian constitution and brought it under direct rule amid a wave of violent repression. We also talked about fears in Kashmir about the Indian government seeking to change the demographic balance in the territory, and about the scale of the fighting Pakistan and India - which far exceeded the previous round of the conflict in 2019.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 20th of May and here are the headlines.1. India's Global Anti-Terror Diplomacy DriveIndia has launched a major diplomatic outreach, sending seven multi-party delegations to 32 countries to highlight its fight against terrorism, particularly from Pakistani soil. Briefed by the Ministry of External Affairs, the teams will explain India's military response after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. PM Modi framed the doctrine as part of a global anti-terror campaign, stating there will be zero tolerance for terror sheltered by “nuclear blackmail.” The goal: convince the world not to equate India, a terror victim, with Pakistan, a terror perpetrator.2. TMC Replaces Yusuf Pathan With Abhishek BanerjeeAfter initially rejecting the Centre's move to include Yusuf Pathan in its foreign outreach delegations, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated Abhishek Banerjee instead. The switch came after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. Abhishek, the party's general secretary, will now join the anti-terror diplomatic push. Separately, TMC is sending its own delegation, led by Manas Bhunia, to Jammu and Kashmir to support victims of cross-border terror. Earlier, Pathan, a cricketer-turned-MP, had been named without TMC's consultation, prompting the initial protest.3. Heavy Rains Disrupt Bengaluru; Red Alert IssuedBengaluru faced severe disruptions on Tuesday after intense pre-monsoon thundershowers caused widespread flooding and traffic chaos. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for the city and Karnataka, forecasting heavy rain, thunderstorms, and lightning through May 26. Commuters struggled, with some taking two hours to travel just 7 km. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has echoed warnings of extremely heavy rainfall and advised caution. The relentless downpour left several areas waterlogged, reigniting concerns over the city's poor infrastructure and monsoon preparedness.4. Veteran Nuclear Scientist M R Srinivasan Dies at 95M R Srinivasan, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a pioneer of India's nuclear program, passed away on Tuesday at age 95. He is survived by his wife and daughter. Srinivasan played a key role in developing India's indigenous nuclear capabilities, working alongside legendary scientist Dr Homi Bhabha. Honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, his death marks the end of a historic era in Indian science. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru paid floral tributes to the distinguished scientist's mortal remains.5. Netanyahu Offers Conditional End to Gaza WarIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he's willing to end the Gaza war if Hamas agrees to strict terms, including disarming. His statement comes amid rising international pressure, with the UK, France, and Canada threatening sanctions over Israel's latest Gaza offensive. Netanyahu slammed these nations for demanding a Palestinian state, calling it a reward for “genocidal attacks on Israel.” In a joint statement, the Western leaders criticized Israel's denial of humanitarian aid to Palestinians, warning that it could violate international law if continued.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

In light of the latest conflict between India and Pakistan, today's episode focuses on two books that examine India's ancient and recent history. First, ancient India was home to the exchange of goods and ideas that transformed the world, including the number system, heliocentrism, and Buddhism. In his book The Golden Road, historian William Dalrymple makes the case for India's centrality to the story of human civilization. In today's episode, the author speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about why this history isn't a larger part of our popular imagination. Then, we hear from Zara Chowdhary about The Lucky Ones, her first-person account of anti-Muslim violence in Gujarat. In today's episode, she speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the aftermath of the Godhra train burning, Prime Minister Modi's role in the incident, and the dangers of releasing her book in this political moment.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
