Las lluvias vuelven a Canarias. La borrasca 'Ivo' trae viento y mala mar a Canarias: lloverá el fin de semana. A pesar de que el archipiélago canario se mantiene al margen del tren de borrascas atlánticas , en las últimas horas ya se han registrado rachas superiores a 80 km/h, oleaje intenso y precipitaciones para el sábado. Hace un año: En lo que va de año en 2023 llegaron a las Islas más de 6.300 personas. Las islas baten su récord de llegadas en 2024 con 46.843 personas. Y este año Canarias podría recibir más de 70.000 migrantes este 2025. Y hoy hace un año: El presidente de Canarias reclama una "respuesta inmediata del Estado" ante la "insostenible" situación migratoria. Hoy se cumplen 1.071 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es jueves 30 de enero de 2025. El Día Internacional del Técnico Electrónico tiene su origen en el año 1980, cuando la Asociación de Técnicos Electrónicos de Córdoba (Asotec), en Colombia, decidió empezar a celebrar esta festividad, con el paso de los años se fue popularizando y en la actualidad es considerada una efeméride internacional.

El PP votará 'sí' al nuevo decreto pactado entre el Gobierno y Junts pero critica la "mentira" y el "chantaje". Puigdemont celebra que Sánchez modificara el decreto 'ómnibus': "Gobernar en minoría requiere que negocies". El Gobierno de Canarias pide un decreto exclusivo que garantice el transporte gratuito en las Islas "El sistema de transporte en el Archipiélago presenta "características únicas", insiste la directora general de Transportes. Gobierno y ayuntamientos aceleran para rebajar de dos años a seis meses la licencia para construir viviendas. El Ejecutivo prevé jornadas técnicas con los municipios para aplicar el nuevo decreto que agilizará la tramitación de licencias urbanísticas, que verá la luz en marzo, además de los cambios que va a realizar en la ley del suelo. La potente creación de empleo y la reducción de activos conducen a Canarias a la menor tasa de paro desde 2007. El Archipiélago cierra 2024, el año de todos los récords en turismo, con una tasa de paro del 11,9%, el dato más bajo desde el cuarto trimestre de 2007, cuando llegó al 10,9%; los ocupados superan en 11.200 personas el buen valor de 2023, entonces en más 26.100 anual. Nueva Canarias lamenta la salida del partido del alcalde de Gáldar e insiste en expandir el canarismo de izquierdas. El partido liderado por Román Rodríguez asegura que si el BNR sigue en el espacio del canarismo progresista “se encontrarán” más veces, pero es algo que no sucederá si se dirigen hacia el nacionalismo “conservador”.

Un nuevo estudio publicado en el Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens pone en duda la efectividad de los santuarios marinos como una solución óptima para mejorar el bienestar de cetáceos que viven bajo cuidado humano. La investigación se centró en el Sea Life Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary, ubicado en Islandia, que acoge a dos belugas trasferidas de un acuario en China. Tras cinco años de operaciones, los resultados revelan importantes desafíos y limitaciones del modelo de santuario marino. Se trata del único santuario de cetáceos operativo que existe en el mundo, por lo que los resultados representan toda la evidencia científica disponible sobre el mantenimiento de cetáceos en estos recintos. ¿Una promesa incumplida? Pese a las expectativas de que un entorno natural mejoraría el bienestar de las belugas, el estudio señala que las dos residentes del santuario, Little Grey y Little White, pasaron el 92,6% del tiempo en un estanque cubierto tradicional. Solo un 3,4% del periodo operacional se utilizó la bahía del santuario, a menudo promovida como una “solución natural” para su bienestar. Las razones para este limitado acceso incluyen problemas de salud, como úlceras gástricas y disminución del apetito, así como la necesidad de proteger a las belugas de condiciones climáticas adversas. Estos hallazgos cuestionan la creencia de que simplemente trasladar cetáceos a un entorno marino garantiza una mejor calidad de vida. Lecciones clave para el futuro El informe destaca lagunas en la planificación y ejecución del proyecto, como la falta de un programa de comportamiento estructurado y un plan de adiestramiento. Los autores destacan que el modelo actual requiere revisión y refinamiento para abordar los retos de salud y bienestar asociados con el traslado a estos entornos. “El caso de Little Grey y Little White evidencia que las condiciones naturales, por sí solas, no aseguran un mejor bienestar para los cetáceos. Se necesita una planificación mucho más robusta y soluciones personalizadas,” explicó Javier Almunia, uno de los autores del estudio. Transparencia y evidencia científica La investigación también destaca la falta de acceso público a datos clave sobre el bienestar de los cetáceos en el santuario. “Los intentos de obtener información detallada sobre el control del bienestar directamente del personal del santuario o sus consultores se han visto obstaculizados por acuerdos de confidencialidad que restringen el intercambio de datos”, explican los autores. A su juicio, la publicación de información detallada sobre las evaluaciones de bienestar, tanto positivas como negativas, facilitaría un análisis más completo de los resultados obtenidos. Este enfoque permitiría a investigadores, legisladores y al público en general comprender mejor los desafíos y avances asociados con los santuarios marinos. Además, una mayor transparencia podría contribuir a mejorar las prácticas operativas y fomentar debates más informados sobre el cuidado de los cetáceos bajo cuidado humano. “La hipótesis fundacional de que los entornos naturales mejoran inherentemente el bienestar de los cetáceos no parece cumplirse en la práctica. La repetida necesidad de devolver a piscina convencionales por razones de salud o bienestar, junto con el limitado tiempo que pasan en la bahía (sólo el 3,4% del periodo operativo), sugiere que las condiciones naturales por sí solas podrían no garantizar un mayor bienestar”, concluyen los autores Aunque los santuarios marinos se presentan como un término medio entre el mantenimiento en centros zoológicos y la vida en la naturaleza, la investigación indica que no garantizan mejores resultados de bienestar de manera inherente. Este hallazgo insta a un enfoque más matizado y basado en evidencias para el cuidado de cetáceos.

The BJP-led coalition government has lifted the ban on government employees taking part in activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, an organisation which has been banned three times since India attained independence. The RSS was banned days after Gandhiji's assassination by Nathuram Godse in 1948, during the Emergency by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and under civil society pressure after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992. Interestingly, the restriction on central government employees associating with the RSS remained in force during the first two terms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his 1998-2004 terms. So, the question that arises is: why now? Is Modi trying to appease the RSS after facing an electoral setback? Didn't RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat indirectly poke fun at Modi saying he wasn't biological during the recent election campaign? Does this decision have anything to do with what appear to be efforts to remove Adityanath as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh?

Why I Killed Gandhi  by Nathuram Godse 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 new 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.  I recommend you listen to that podcast:  The Rules of Good Studenting.   Don't expect to like it.  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 – founder of PakistanJawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (from Sanskrit 'great-souled, venerable'), first applied to him in South Africa in 1914, is now used throughout the world. Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, Gandhi trained in the law at the Inner Temple, London, and was called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. After two uncertain years in India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice, he moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. He went on to live in South Africa for 21 years. It was here that Gandhi raised a family and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India and soon set about organizing peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and, above all, achieving swaraj or self-rule. Gandhi adopted the short dhoti woven with hand-spun yarn as a mark of identification with India's rural poor. He began to live in a self-sufficient residential community, to eat simple food, and undertake long fasts as a means of both introspection and political protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians, Gandhi led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930 and in calling for the British to quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned many times and for many years in both South Africa and India. Gandhi's vision of an independent India based on religious pluralism was challenged in the early 1940s by a Muslim nationalism which demanded a separate homeland for Muslims within British India. In August 1947, Britain granted independence, but the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two dominions, a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan. As many displaced Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs made their way to their new lands, religious violence broke out, especially in the Punjab and Bengal. Abstaining from the official celebration of independence, Gandhi visited the affected areas, attempting to alleviate distress. In the months following, he undertook several hunger strikes to stop the religious violence. The last of these was begun in Delhi on 12 January 1948 when he was 78. The belief that Gandhi had been too resolute in his defense of both Pakistan and Indian Muslims spread among some Hindus in India. Among these was Nathuram Godse, a militant Hindu nationalist from Pune, western India, who assassinated Gandhi by firing three bullets into his chest at an interfaith prayer meeting in Delhi on 30 January 1948. Gandhi's birthday, 2 October, is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. Gandhi is considered to be the Father of the Nation in post-colonial India. During India's nationalist movement and in several decades immediately after, he was also commonly called Bapu (Gujarati endearment for "father," roughly "papa," "daddy.").

Dhirendra K. Jha joins PTO to talk about his book, Gandhi's Assassin: The Making of Nathuram Godse and His Idea of India. We talked about Godse's childhood and how is belonging to the elite Brahmin class facilitated his shift from an anti-imperialist position in the decades before independence, to a visceral hatred of Muslims and of Gandhi, who the Hindu nationalists blamed for partition and the creation of Pakistan. We also discussed Godse's relationship with Vinayak Sawarkar - the ideological founder of Hindu nationalism and the chief early propagator of the idea of Hindu Rashtra - the concept of India as a fundamentally Hindu nation - as opposed to a secular state of all its people. We went on to talk about how Italian fascism and German Nazism inspired the RSS, and finally we discussed the increasing rehabilitation of the reputation of Godse amongst Hindu nationalists, including BJP members of the Indian parliament.

Beethoven's love life has long fascinated music scholars primarily because so little is known about it despite some tantalising clues. In his new book, Why Beethoven, music critic Norman Lebrecht, identifies the dedicatee of Beethoven's well-loved melody Für Elise, while Jessica Duchen has written a novel, Immortal, which provides one answer to the question, who was Beethoven's “Immortal Beloved”? Both join Front Row to discuss why their explorations bring us closer to the composer. Garry Lyons on his new play Blow Down at Leeds Playhouse, written to mark the demolition of the iconic cooling towers at Ferrybridge Power Station. It's based on stories collected from people in Knottingley and Ferrybridge in Yorkshire. Blow Down will go on tour with performances in theatres and community centres across Yorkshire and the North East. A new film about Mahatma Gandhi and his assassin Nathuram Godse has caused some controversy in India. Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh (War of Ideologies) imagines a world in which Gandhi survived and went on to debate with Godse, a premise that some have found offensive. Director Rajkumar Santoshi discusses the reaction to his film and BBC journalist Vandana Vijay explains why there's increased sensitivity around some movies in India at the moment.

Informativo de primera hora en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio.Hoy se cumplen 342 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es lunes 30 de enero de 2023. Buenos días Ucrania. Día Internacional del Técnico Electrónico. El Día Internacional del Técnico Electrónico tiene su origen en el año 1980, cuando la Asociación de Técnicos Electrónicos de Córdoba (Asotec), en Colombia, decidió empezar a celebrar esta festividad, con el paso de los años se fue popularizando y en la actualidad es considerada una efeméride internacional. En pocas palabras, es la persona encargada de reparar cualquier dispositivo electrónico, es decir, cualquier objeto que cuente con una placa base o circuito electrónico en su interior, como por ejemplo los hornos de microondas, el sistema de automatización de portones eléctricos o incluso los dispositivos móviles. 1920: Un incendio destruye el Gran Teatro de Madrid. 1930: El Gobierno del general Berenguer sustituye en España al del general Primo de Rivera. 1933: En Alemania, Adolf Hitler asume la Cancillería del Reich. 1938: Formación en Burgos del Primer Gobierno nacional de España (1938-1939), en el que Francisco Franco asume oficialmente los cargos de Jefe de Estado y de Gobierno. 1948: En Nueva Delhi (capital de India), el fanático hinduista Nathuram Godse asesina al pacifista Mahatma Gandhi, líder de la independencia de India. 1953: España ingresa en la UNESCO. 1997.- Nace la televisión digital en España con la presentación oficial de Canal Satélite Digital. 2018.- El día de su 50 cumpleaños el rey Felipe VI impone el Toisón de Oro a su hija la Princesa Leonor.

Los servicios mínimos oscilan entre el 44% de los vuelos con la península y el 70% de los interinsulares en los cuatro aeropuertos canarios afectados por el paro. Los controladores aéreos advierten de «importantes cancelaciones« durante la jornada de huelga de 24 horas convocada para este lunes en las 12 torres de control que fueron privatizadas en el año 2020.

While the world was watching Shah Rukh Khan's action-packed entertainer 'Pathaan', I took the theater not taken and watched Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh.  The film marks the comeback of filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi after almost a decade. He reimagines an India where Mahatma Gandhi survives the assassination attempt by Nathuram Godse, and they both meet each other in prison and debate everything from Ahimsa to The Gita, and a 'Hindu Rashtra'. In this episode of Do I Like It, I'll tell you my thoughts about the film.

The man who assassinated Gandhi, Nathuram Godse, is becoming a celebrated figure amongst Hindu Nationalists, including some in Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Though it was Nathuram Godse who physically killed MK Gandhi, his own disciples had killed him as a force a long time back when they reached the Mountbatten Pact with the British and Jinnah without so much as telling him, let alone consulting

The Establishment uses MK Gandhi as a brand nationally and internationally, but has the public shared the sentiment over the years. Nathuram Godse is an assassin for the record, but what is the opinion of people like Dr. Ambedkar and many others. Prakhar Srivastava examines these issues in this talk with Sanjay Dixit.

#NathuramVinayakGodse #NathuramGodse #Godse #NarayanApte #महात्मागांधी की #हत्या में शामिल #नाथूरामगोडसे और #नारायणआप्टे को मिली थी सजा-ए-मौत https://youtu.be/0D8tDvY01Pc

Reigniting the debate on Nathuram Godse, Vinay Krishna Chaturvedi, aka Tufail Chaturvedi weighs in on the question whether it is correct to vilify Nathuram Godse as a terrorist or a traitor. He was an assassin no doubt, and was hanged for the same, but his motivations were to protect the interests of Bharat Mata. Even Dr. Ambedkar said that 'sometimes good cometh out of evil, so also I think good will come out of the death of Mr Gandhi. It will release people from bondage to supermen, it will make them think for themselves and compel them to stand on their own merits.'

GANDHI BETRAGTES SOM DEN INDISKE NATIONS FADER. Med sultestrejke og  ikke-vold kæmpede han for Indiens uafhængighed af det Britiske Raj. Men kun ét år efter oprettelsen af den Indiske nationalstat, blev Gandhi myrdet af en hindu-nationalist. Den 30. januar 1948 skød den 38 årige Nathuram Godse den 78 årige Mahatma Gandhi foran dennes hjem i New Delhi. Godse blev hængt året efter for sin forbrydelse.Hver måned kan du lytte til en ny episode af true crime podcasten LEGENDARISKE MORD, som er produceret af DET GULE VÆRELSE.Dine værter er Thomas og Morten, som også har lavet research og skrevet manuskript.

Martyrs' Day in India is observed on 30 January of every year in national level. The date was chosen as it marks the assassination of Father of Nation Mahathma Gandhi in 1948, by Nathuram Godse. Credits Image by Jai Bhutani from Pixabay

 FREE SPEECH BATTLES  Interviewer: Matthew Berkman. The concept of hurt sentiments first became ensconced in the Indian legal code almost two-hundred years ago, under the influence of the British government official T.B. Macauley. As historian NEETI NAIR explores in a book progress currently in progress, the concept has expanded its reach in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh in recent years to allow for extra-judicial forms of censorship and political action – to the extent that India has been said to have become a “republic of hurt sentiments.” In her conversation with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Nair gauges the state of free speech and secularism in India by analyzing the reasons behind the censorship – or, alternately, the rampant/limited circulation – of key texts. These include the assassin Nathuram Godse’s defense statement in the Gandhi murder case of 1948; and four lines on the Ramayana epic, dating back over two millennia, that caught the unwanted attentions of a Hindu vigilante political party in 1993, then on the fringes of Indian politics. She also extends her argument to the recent Citizenship Amendment Act and its opposition.

On this episode, Cyrus is joined by comedian and beloved ex-producer of the show Abbas Momin, along with Amit and Antariksh, to talk about what Abbas has been upto lately, and get into some crazy news topics like a Republic politician shouting 'Heil Hitler' at a protest and then correcting herself saying that she had actually meant to say 'Mein Fuhrer', a South Korean city paying couples to have kids, a Nathuram Godse library shutting down just two days after opening, and lots lots more.Follow Abbas on Twitter & Instagram: https://twitter.com/AbbasMomin and https://instagram.com/abbasmomin88You can follow Amit on Instagram & Twitter @DoshiAmit: https://twitter.com/doshiamit and https://instagram.com/doshiamitYou can follow Antariksh on Instagram @antariksht.Do send in AMA questions for Cyrus by tweeting them to @cyrussaysin or e-mailing them at whatcyrussays@gmail.comDon't forget to follow Cyrus Broacha on Instagram @cyrus_broacha ( https://www.instagram.com/cyrus_broacha )In case you're late to the party and want to catch up on previous episodes of Cyrus Says you can do so at: www.ivmpodcasts.com/cyrussays

Better known for his crime than by name, Nathuram Godse was the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. Driven not by psychopathology, but rather an extreme devotion to "Hindutva" or Hindu nationalism, he saw Gandhi's message of nonviolence as a threat to his beliefs. Listen as Coral and Dusty discuss the psychology behind nationalism in this completely-apolitical-and-not-at-all-related-to-current-events episode! 

कहानी Mahatma Gandhi के आखरी भाषण की जिसके बाद भारत के पहले आतंकी Nathuram Godse ने उनकी हत्या कर दी... 1948 में आज ही के दिन 12 जनवरी को महात्मा गांधी ने अपना आखिरी भाषण दिया था। इसके बाद वो 13 जनवरी से अनशन पर चले गए थे। 12 जनवरी की शाम को दिए अपने आखिरी भाषण में गांधीजी ने कहा था कि सांप्रदायिक दंगों में बर्बादी देखने से बेहतर है मौत को गले लगा लेना है। दरअसल, 1947 में जब आजादी मिली, तो इसके साथ विभाजन भी बुरे तोहफे के तौर पर मिला था। इससे भारत और पाकिस्तान दो अलग-अलग देश बन गए। बंटवारे की वजह से देशभर में सांप्रदायिक हिंसा होने लगीं। हिंदू, मुस्लिम और सिख एक-दूसरे के खून के प्यासे हो गए। इन दंगों ने गांधीजी को झकझोर कर रख दिया।

On January 30th, Nathuram Godse assasinated Mohandas Gandhi, the founding father of India, as Mahatma Gandhi conducted a multi-faith prayer meeting because Godse saw him as too accommodating to Muslim interests. Nathuram Godse had long been a member of multiple Hindu nationalist organizations, although the most powerful the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) has disclaimed any … Continue reading "Hate Thy Neighbor: The Rise of Hindutva in India"

Historian Ramachandra Guha is perhaps the leading Gandhi authority in the world today. He has written two major biographies, Gandhi Before India(Vintage 2013) dealing with his time as a lawyer and activist in South Africa, and Gandhi 1914-1948 The Years That Changed the World (Vintage 2018). Ram Guha speaks to Tony about five speeches. Four relate to the struggle for independence.  They are the Banaras University speech of 1916, the Statement at the Great Trial of 1922, The Eve of Salt March Speech of 1931 and the Quit India speech of 1942. For our speech of the week, Ram reads a fragment of this last speech. The fifth and final speech is speech of the week, and is a spiritual statement Gandhi made at Kingsley Hall in Oxford during a summit he attended in England in 1931. Guha expertly weaves information about these critical speeches into the broader narrative of Indian independence, and even has things to say about partition, Gandhi's assassination the cult of Godse, and current day tensions between an ascendant Hindu nationalist movement under Prime Minister Modi and various minorities. Ramchandra Guha was himself arrested in his home city of Bengaluru protesting against a  discriminatory citizenship law. He was carrying a poster of Gandhi at the time of arrest.

O "pai da nação indiana" é assassinado em 30 de janeiro de 1948 em Nova Delhi por três tiros desferidos pelo extremista indu Nathuram Godse, em uma oração pública. Godse reprovava em Gandhi o fato de ser muito tolerante com os indianos muçulmanos. Durante 78 anos, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, conhecido como Mahatma Gandhi, tinha professado a não-violência radical, a “ahimsa” e a resistência passiva contra o ocupante britânico. Gandhi tinha escolhido se fazer ouvir pelo jejum político até obter a satisfação de suas reivindicações. Dois milhões de indianos assistiram aos seus funerais.

Yesterday, Twitter was awash with posts about events at the Indian Historical Congress in Kannur. The eminent historian Irfan Habib has disrupted proceedings as Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, as part of his speech to the delegates, quoted Maulana Azad in relation to the CAA/NRC controversy. Habib told the Governor that he had no right to quote Maulana Azad, and that he should quote Nathuram Godse instead. Professor Habib's intervention reflects the courageous dedication to truth and justice that has informed his scholarship since his pathbreaking work on the agrarian system of Mughal India first appeared in the early 1960s. His decision to stand up to power at the Indian History Congress is model behaviour for all public intellectuals at this perilous moment in the life of the Indian republic. In recognition of this, we are pleased to share this recording of a talk given by Irfan Habib at a seminar organized by the Joshi-Adhikari Institute of Social Sciences in December 2015. The talk is an urgent call to arms against the falsifications of Indian history that nourish the Hindu nationalist imagination. As such, it bears witness to the stature and commitment of Professor Habib, and speaks directly to the current conjuncture of struggle in India.

In this episode of Hafta, host Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande and Meghnad S are joined by Sudhir Suryawanshi, the man behind Katta News, the only media outlet that managed to sift through the chaos during the Maharashtra political crisis. The panel discusses the Maharashtra political drama, Pragya Thakur’s recent remark on Nathuram Godse in Lok Sabha, the controversial Transgender Persons Bill, among other things.Uddhav Thackrey was sworn in as chief minister of Maharashtra after a failed attempt by Ajit Pawar to split Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party. Katta News, managed by Suryawanshi had announced Ajit’s coup two days in advance. Suryawanshi gives us insights on Maharashtra political drama and how Maha Vikas Aghadi (Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP alliance) came to power. On the Godse row, Manisha says, “There is genuinely an active push now to turn the narrative on Godse as a patriot and you can see this in the way his supporters have reacted on Twitter to Pragya’s remark .” Meghnad retorts saying, “This is not just about twitter trolls but the way news channels are calling them on panels and normalising whatever they are saying, that is problematic. So, now twitter trolls are not just on twitter anymore.” On the government’s plan to move a Registration of Press and Periodicals Bill, Abhinandan says, “I think this is a way to kind of try and get control on digital publications which they have the least control over. They can control satellite channels and newspapers much better than digital. I think it’s going to backfire.”Speaking on the Transgender Persons Bill, Meghnad says, “The whole law-making process is so male-dominated. Like when men make laws about women they’re insensitive, when they make laws about LGBT+ community they are inhuman.”They also discuss the removal of SPG cover for Gandhi family and much more.

The date is 30 January, 1948. A little over five months have passed since India's independence from the British Raj. As the sun sets, the air is electric in Delhi's Birla House. The reason - Mahatma Gandhi is about to address a prayer meeting. Gandhi walks to the stage from his room, supported by Manuben and Abha, his two grand-nieces. As he nears the stage, a man wearing khaki breaks loose from the crowd and kneels before them. Manuben says, “Bapu is already late. Why do you embarrass him?” But the words have barely left her mouth, when three deafening gunshots ring out. Gandhi falls to the floor. Three bullets finding their mark in his torso. The crowd goes numb, for a moment. And then erupts. The assassin surrenders and asks for the police. He's arrested and taken away. Moments later a doctor confirms that Mahatma Gandhi is dead. The assassin's name would be remembered forever in history - Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. This is a special podcast about the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, and the man who pulled the trigger - Nathuram Godse. Godse was hanged to death on 15 November 1949. The reasons that drove him to assassinate Gandhi have often been misunderstood or plainly misrepresented. I sat down with Anup Sardesai, the author of Nathuram Godse: The Untold Truth to understand the other side of the story. What happened to him and his family after the assassination? Why did he kill the father of the nation? Host & Producer: Vishnu Gopinath Guest: Anup Sardesai, Author(Nathuram Godse: The Untold Truth)

In this week’s episode, host Abhinandan Sekhri is joined by Madhu Trehan, Manisha Pande, and investigative journalist Josy Joseph.The podcast kicks off with Joseph talking about the ₹1,000-crore civil defamation suit that Naresh Goyal of Jet Airways filed against him after the release of his book, A Feast of Vultures: The Hidden Business of Democracy in India. The book, he says, is a product of 15 years of investigation into government records available in the public domain. In response to Abhinandan’s question about what he thought of the coverage of the Jet Airways crisis, he says, “I think the Jet Airways collapse and Naresh Goyal to me in many ways capture the crisis of Indian democracy...the crisis that we see when you have the Prime Minister of the country on a daily basis assaulting the basic constitutional commitment to scientific temperament.” He also believes that our country is not an imperfect democracy, rather a "democracy in crisis".The panel also discusses Narendra Modi’s interview with The Indian Express. Manisha says, “[It is] one of his best interviews that I have read...you really get a sense of this guy and he has so much disdain for the media, every answer is a potshot at the media...in that one interview you really get an insight into how much he hates the media.” Madhu also speaks of Modi's "shenpa" and why he needs to get over it”.The panel also talks about the centrality of Mani Shankar Aiyar in the political discourse despite his negligible impact on Indian politics. They also deconstruct the implications of Priyanka Sharma’s arrest on free speech. Joseph says the lack of codification of law has to be tackled urgently to prevent a breakdown of institutions. Manisha says, “At least [journalists] should have a standard understanding of what constitutes free speech and we should push back every time a case like this comes."They also talk about a potential rethinking of the BJP’s extremist politics in light of their response to Pragya Singh Thakur’s recent comment on Nathuram Godse.For this and more, tune in!

In this episode of Reporters Without Orders, host Cherry Agarwal speaks to Newslaundry's Ayush Tiwari, Gaurav Sarkar and Basant Kumar about the exit polls and why they should be taken with a pinch of salt. They also discuss water scarcity, PM Modi's visit to Kedarnath, and more. Discussing Pragya Thakur calling Nathuram Godse a "deshbhakt", Ayush says the novelty of the scandal is what "really touched a nerve". The panel finds itself divided on whether the issue deserved the over-reporting it received, or whether it was a statement that should not have received any attention.Moving on to PM Modi's Kedarnath visit, Basant argues that it was over-reported and received a lot of unnecessary attention. He says it should have been considered a "dharm yatra", but the mainstream media turned it into a grand event. On the issue of water scarcity, the panel discusses how it should have been an electoral issue. “People are being forced to go and break the gates of dams,” says Cherry, arguing it should have been an important part of political dialogue in drought-ridden states.Talking about Kashmir's representation in the news, Gaurav states: “Geographical boundaries are trumped by a certain section of people interested in particular things.” He also talks about his experience in the Supreme Court while covering MJ Akbar's defamation case against journalist Priya Ramani.For all this and more, tune in!

India's month-long Lok Sabha elections come to an end on May 23, when the winners will be announced. This election season hasn't been without its share of drama and mayhem. BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, recently called Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, Nathuram Godse, a patriot. Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the first press conference of his premiership, but chose to defer all questions to his party leader, Amit Shah. But in a 'non-political' conversation with actor Akshay Kumar, he talked about his love for mangoes, among other things. Not to forget the social media storm caused by the PM's "Main bhi Chowkidar" campaign ("I am a watchman"), positioning himself as a guardian and protector of the country. We speak with Prathap Nair, a Germany-based freelance writer and the son of a former chowkidar about his Huffington Post essay where he calls the campaign a misappropriation that pays little heed to the real experience of chowkidars across India. Then there are all the controversies surrounding the Election Commission and its role as guarantor of free and fair elections in India. We chip away at the complex topic with the help of Sushovan Sircar, Senior Correspondent at The Quint, who has written about the topic extensively in his work. And finally, what are people looking for in these elections, and how can we look past our own echochambers of ideology? And can we look at a framework of discussion that looks beyond the legacy family Congress party vs right-leaning BJP split?

Former Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi on Friday, 17 May, said that his grandfather Mahatma Gandhi would have forgiven BJP leader Pragya Singh Thakur for hailing his assassin Nathuram Godse as “deshbhakt.”

“Hinduism has an infinite capacity, almost incredible capacity, to survive and endure the outrages committed on it by its followers… Hinduism has always been an admixture of foreign goodness and indigenous debasement.” This quote by Nirad C Chaudhury, one of the most irreverent yet incisive critics of all things Indian, is very apt and useful if you want to understand the current outrage over actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan’s recent statement, that Nathuram Godse was the ‘first Hindu terrorist’ in India.

* In a first, the Election Commission invoked article 324 and announced that campaigning for the last 9 seats in West Bengal will end on 16 May, 10 pm, a day before the scheduled deadline. The state is set to go to polls on 19 May, the seventh and last phase of elections. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee called the decision “unethical” and accused the EC of working for Modi. She said the timing of the ban allows PM Modi to deliver his two scheduled election rallies in Bengal on 16 May. * The decision came after the entire fiasco at Amit Shah’s rally resulting in violence and vandalism of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar’s statue. Playing the blame-game over the broken statue, Didi called out the BJP goons while Modi blamed the TMC workers, stating that BJP will rebuild Vidyasagar statue. * In yet another controversial remark, BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur called Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse, a “patriot” and said those calling him a “terrorist” will be given a befitting reply when the election results are announced. Her remarks come in the wake of Kamal Haasan’s comment that Godse was India’s first terrorist. The BJP, however, scrambled to control the damage and condemned her remarks asking her to publicly apologize. * Gearing up for the election results, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi took charge of hosting the opposition parties for a meeting which is set to be held on 23rd May, the day the results would be announced. * And your last update for the day, the Haryana Police booked state minister Manish Grover and former Congress MLA B B Batra for allegedly entering a polling booth without permission and disorderly conduct. * That was your quick 2019 My Vote Elections wrap for the day.

(MNM) founder Kamal Haasan has stoked a possible controversy, saying free India's first "terrorist was a Hindu," referring to Nathuram Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi. Addressing an election campaign here last night, the actor-politician said he was one of those "proud Indians" who desires an India with equality and where the "three colours" in the tricolour, an obvious reference to different faiths, "remained intact."  "I am not saying this because this is a Muslim-dominated area, but I am saying this before a statue of Gandhi. Free India's first terrorist was a Hindu, his name is Nathuram Godse. There it (terrorism, apparently) starts," he said. Haasan said he had come here "seeking answers for that murder," referring to Gandhi's assassination in 1948. "Good Indians desire for equality and want the three colours in the tricolour to remain intact. I am a good Indian, will proudly proclaim that," he added Listen to this podcast for more...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was an Indian activist who led the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He became known for his advocacy of nonviolent civil disobedience to achieve political goals, and inspired civil rights movements around the world. In 1948, Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist, who fired three bullets into Gandhi's chest.This LP was published in 1972 by CMS Records, Inc., by arrangement with BBC Radio Enterprises. It was compiled from recordings of Gandhi and other political figures, and was written and narrated by Francis Watson. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was such an influential figure as a leader of the Indian independence movement that as India gained independence from Great Britain in 1947, he was universally known as "Mahatma," the great soul, and widely called "Bapu," an endearing term for father. Yet the independence of India had seen what was British India split into two, with Muslim majority areas in the East and West becoming Pakistan. This then led to mass migration, violence, and intense conflicts. Gandhi tried to ease the suffering of all people and resolve the disputes. For that, he raised the ire of many right-wing Hindu nationalists, such as Nathuram Godse. Godse followed Gandhi for weeks, seeking to assassinate him because of what Godse saw as a betrayal of Hindus. Finally, on the next to last day of January 1948, Godse was able to approach Gandhi as he walked to prayers and fired three shots at point blank range. Gandhi would die that evening, and Godse would be executed for the assassination.
