South Africa's New Energy Vehicle Roadmap to be production-led, Patel confirms

Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Ebrahim Patel insists that South Africa's New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Roadmap is taking shape amid warnings that, absent urgent government decisions on the future support framework, the domestic automotive manufacturing sector is at serious risk. He has also indicated that the NEV support framework would seek to use and build on the architecture in place under the second phase of the Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP2) and would be production- rather than consumption-led. In a presentation to the Presidential Climate Commission, Patel released details of what he described as a roadmap “working document”, which was premised on there being a “compelling” case for South Africa to make the strategic shift to NEVs. That conclusion was reached following a cost-benefit analysis, showing that it would be more advantageous to transition South Africa's manufacturing focus away from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to NEVs than to seek to capture a larger slice of the remaining ICE markets as international vehicle manufacturers began upscaling their NEV strategies. The analysis shows that it will be challenging to secure new ICE export markets that will offset the decline in its main current export markets of the UK and the European Union (EU), which currently absorb 45% of South Africa's yearly passenger vehicle production. The UK and the EU have already announced that they will bar sale of ICE vehicles and soft hybrids (cars that use an electric motor alongside a combustion engine, but which cannot run on electric power alone) from 2030 and 2035 respectively. In addition, both are planning to introduce carbon taxes on imports. Shifting to NEVs, Patels said, would mean that South Africa could either retain or potentially grow an industry that currently contributed between 4% and 5% of gross domestic product and a value chain that employed 100 000 people directly. Government also estimates that the support programmes it currently uses to incentivise local production have been “roughly fiscally neutral over the last five years”. “So, we have not closed our eyes to the other options; we have looked at them and we have concluded that it would be in South Africa's best interest to move to electric vehicles.” Patel reported that, having reached that conclusion, government was currently focusing on the development of a “competitive support package” to create an enabling environment for the domestic production of NEVs. He said that there was growing convergence within government on the package, but stressed that it was a “complex” and “challenging” discussion given the country's fiscal constraints and the many competing needs for scarce Budgetary resources. “We have moved from a set of costing exercises, to a point that there is a growing convergence within government on what is required for the enabling environment for NEV production in South Africa.” The fiscal implications of the NEV support package would be announced by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, who recently met with local automotive executives to outline the principles that would govern the National Treasury's approach to the matter. Patel also reported that government would opt for a production-led model, rather than the consumption-led strategy advocated by various industry stakeholders, whereby growth in domestic demand, supported by lower tariff barriers, triggered investment. “Our approach is led by a focus on the ‘at-risk export' markets. “Let's get production of EVs right, export to those markets where there is both the spending power and the regulatory incentives to encourage consumption. “And then off the back of bringing down the prices through what we have been able to achieve through export runs, sell an increasing quantity in the domestic market and, at an appropriate point, look at incentives that will get motorists to shift to EV consumption.” Government will also seek to build on the APDP2 architecture ...

AKASHI MEDIA PODCAST LIVE with VARIETY CHENEVERT Podcast host investigates the emergency assistance that's supposed to be given to homeless individuals throughout the USA. Particularly the state of California where agencies such as LAHSA has it on their website that FEMA is financing the disaster. A City official confirmed that the agency St. Joseph that is supposed to receive their financing from St. Joseph and that they had been approved through LAHSA to find the homeless a place to live and put them in hotel and motel rooms but their are many homeless people that ended back out on the streets and never received a place to live or relocation assistance for a place to live. Relocation assistance was supposed to be given if you lived in a car, park, beach, place to place whether you were single or have a family. The supposedly St. Joseph staff came to the Albott Kinney Park in Venice, CA and asked Variety Chenevert while in her tent for her personal information such as her name and last four digits of her social security number and they took of picture and scanned her photo to personnel at St. Joseph staff and Mental Health employees at the Cadillac Hotel in Venice, CA where her uncle Sri owns and gifted to her as a child. She went to the Cadillac Hotel with the posed St. Joseph staff employees by SUV a few blocks to her hotel and when she got there is no hotel employees at the front desk like they are at ALL her other PATEL relatives who owns over 90% of hotels in USA. In the lobby there are just so-called medical people from Los Angeles County Mental Health with no bade or name tags that take your temperature, other employees from two other agencies from Downtown Los Angeles Chrysalis and St. Joseph who was supposed to be local in Venice, CA on Rose and Lincoln. But they said they didn't have their own office. But COVID-19 mandate is over and these people are still in her hotel as if they squatted out the place. No inspections have been done or any updates to the hotel to restore it to it's normal state of cleanings such as carpets and exterior etc. The phones are missing in the rooms that were left there by Sri for the hotel guest to use to call the front desk and relatives and friends. Variety Chenevert reached out to City officials regarding COVID 19 and asked if St. Joseph was approved to be placed in their hotel for Project RoomKey which dissolved last year 2021 or extended to Spring of 2022 and then dissolved in May and the city official said no they were not approved. Nor were they on LAHSA list of approved organizations for funding. Last year Sri was arrested for supposedly shooting a homeless African-American but he was jailed, post bail and case dropped. A security guard who supposedly worked at the Cadillac Hotel shot the homeless male because Sri the hotel owner told him to. Variety Chenevert finds that hard to believe because their family are the Patels who owns 90% of motels and hotels in USA and many in California and the Cadillac hotel has been helping homeless and less fortunate people for many years since the 1940's and her the first SRO single room occupancy. Her grandfather Kanijibha Desai started the hospitality industry in America who was a India Gujarati immigrant who left India and lived in Kenya Africa and her family are Kenyans and Moors from India are mixed Kenyan, India Indian, Nigerians and Ghanian who came to USA and resided in San Francisco and San Diego, Ohio and Detroit. Variety Chenevert is currently searching for the whereabouts of her Uncle Sri because he has not been seen nor is his staff at the hotel like All the other PATEL original staff still at other motels and hotels that participated in the COVID 19 Project RoomKey. Variety Chenevert is the only family member of Sri at Cadillac Hotel on the 4th floor in room 403. She is also a Real Estate agent for Rodeo Realty. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/akashimediapodcastlive/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/akashimediapodcastlive/support

In this episode, Main Bhi Muslim's producer and host, Mariyam Haider, spoke to Nazni Rizvi, Senior Reporter at Khabar Lahariya, India's only, all-women, feminist, hyper-local, video first news channel, reporting from within the country's hinterland. In this conversation, Nazni shares her story of belonging to the Muslim community in rural India where she fought social and religious prescriptions to leave an incompatible marriage, join Khabar Lahariya, train as a journalist, and over the years, cover some of the most pertinent issues including women's rights and equality, social justice, and organised crime, in Bundelkhand region. Nazni's reportage and her personal story deeply showcase the prejudices that women often face for making alternative life choices, not just from outside their social communities, but also from within, and how she has tackled them over the years. Her story also speaks for countless other Indian Muslim women who often live with community-prescribed gender and patriarchal expectations, failing to meet which can often lead them to become pariahs.This interview was conducted in Hindi and has been edited for clarity, but you can find the English transcript below. TranscriptMariyam Haider, Host - Thank you Nazni for joining us today at Main Bhi Muslim's podcast episode. I've been really excited to reach out to you and share your story through Main Bhi Muslim ever since I learnt about you. I want to deeply thank you for the kind of reporting that you've been doing through the years, especially on agendas that people do not wish to hear about and about topics that they are not open to understanding. It really motivates me, the kind of work you do, it's all a lesson for us. It teaches us about the kind of reporting that is essential and important today, and how we can express ourselves through our writing. Nazni Rizvi - “Mariyam, thanks to you as well because being a journalist our job is to bring out stories of other people, but sometimes even we wish to be heard, and that people get to know our story too. I've gotten my chance to be heard through this podcast at MBM, and I'm going to use this opportunity to open up and talk about the things that I go through, that often happen with me so that people realise that as journalists, we also go through a lot and have a story to tell.”Mariyam - First of all Nazni, let's start with your introduction. How did you start working with Khabar Lahariya, and what prior incidents of your life led you to Khabar Lahariya, which eventually turned tables for you & gave your life a new beginning?Nazni Rizvi “My name is Nazni. I am currently working as a senior reporter. My journey with Khabar Lahariya began in 2007. At that time, I was in a bad financial state. I had 5 little children. The notion of  belonging to a muslim family, and having to remain under the veil, kept me restricted. And to top it, I was also a woman. A muslim woman. There were a lot of difficulties. My condition was really bad and working outside was tough. My family was going through a tough phase. I was in desperate need of work. Because I have had formal education only till Grade VIII, I had never pictured myself as a journalist. I was ready for all odd jobs, and cleaning chores, daily wage-labour, or a petty job at any shop; anything but never a journalist.So, therewas this teacher who'd come to teach my landlord's kids Arabic. She informed me about an office at (Babu Lal Chauraha in Banda district ) that provided work to women, and was hopeful I too could get some work there. The lack of a basic educational background and no previous experience made me skeptical, but I gathered courage and went there from where I was directed to the Vanagna office. Because Khabar Lahariya had just recently launched, it wasn't very well known. When I reached the Vanagna office, Anita didi there informed me that because I was neither a graduate nor did I have any kind of prior work experience, there wasn't any work for me. She suggested I go to the nearby Khabar Lahariya office which had just begun functioning. She told me that Khabar Lahariya was training girls and women to be journalists. Even though I doubted I could do journalism, I mustered strength and went forward. Upon reaching the location after asking various people on the way, I saw two women - Kavita didi and Meera didi - my now Editor, walking in the scorching heat under an umbrella. I asked them if there was an office named Khabar Lahariya around there. One of them answered by asking me what work I had at the office, with a smile. I told them that I was looking for work. Hesitantly, they guided me upstairs. I thought they were leading me towards the office, turned out they were the office heads and unlocked the office welcoming me inside. They sat me down, asked about me, and told me about Khabar Lahariya. Then she asked me to write an application, and informed me that they weren't recruiting yet, but would get back to me once they started hiring. However, I told them that I was in desperate need of work because I had little kids to look after and was jobless. Two of my little girls had gone with me, one was still in my lap. When they understood that I really really needed a job, after learning about my financial condition, about my maiden family and my in-laws being unsupportive, Kavita didi asked if I could sell newspapers. She offered me to sell newspapers, keep its commission and deposit the sale proceeds at the office. She also assured me that they'd consider me for future recruitments. I did not think less of myself as a newspaper seller, it did not bother me. I just picked up the newspapers and that day onwards, I started selling newspapers. 2-3 months from then, recruitment started, and I applied. We had to undergo a 15 days' training programme. Out of the 35-36 females there, only 3 finally got selected, and I was one of them. From there on in 2007, I have been associated with Khabar Lahariya.Mariyam - Nazni, you've said a lot in your introduction itself. You've not only told us about your motive behind joining Khabar Lahariya, but also about your circumstances that guided you towards joining Khabar Lahariya.When we read your stories, we see that they cover many aspects other than just on-ground reporting. They also consider the domestic side of the women's story, that within their homes what are the women expected to do and how they fulfill their duty in society. But your story has been different. Like you said, you were in Moradabad after marriage and you were looking after your house and family, while you received no support from anybody. So when you are reporting now and you ask women about their perspective on life within their houses, do you see any changes where women see a possibility in having a life even outside their homes; do they get motivated watching you/ listening to your story?Nazni Rizvi - “Yes, there has been change, but a lot is yet to change. Some women go out to work, their husbands and in-laws support them, but there are still a lot of women who may have the freedom to go out to work but still have to come back to look after their households and families. Men are dominantly present in the journalists' circle. So when I meet people sometimes, they tell me that some fellow journalist brother told them about me and that I also travel to far off places, and some women take inspiration from these talks. It feels nice. Sometimes women do not want to move far from their places for training, but when they are told about me, these women agree to go for training programmes.”Mariyam - So how do you explain to people the concept of feminism? How do you tell women about their rights and their status of equality in society?Nazni Rizvi - “People talk about Islam and sharia each time we mention equality of women and men, but sharia also holds them equal. People don't believe in it. The law, the Constitution, both hold men and women as equal. It is on paper, and people merely talk about it; there's hardly any acceptance of equality. Each time I talk about feminism, people think that I am against men, I am talking ill about the masculine gender, and that I only favor females / women. Then I have to explain to them in detail that I have nothing against them, and that feminism only demands overall equality of men and women in all aspects, that women too should be allowed to wear and eat and do as it pleases them. Sometimes they understand, other times they argue.”Mariyam - From the videos that I have seen of you, you run two amazing programs with  Khabar Lahariya, and in one of them I heard your slogan ‘bolenge, bulwayenge, hans kar sab keh jayenge'. I love this slogan because it leaves no scope for argument. In that program, you question people, they answer, based on which you question again. There's a video in which you are talking about patriarchy and there's a young boy who said that ours has always been a patriarchal country considering all children are named after their fathers. While talking about paternal and maternal names, you mentioned that Kareena Kapoor has changed her name and talked about other renowned people that most of us know. Mariyam - During that talk, at some point the same boy said that now things are changing as they must, and there's no issue with women naming their children after themselves, they should if it pleases them. In that conversation of about 3-4 minutes, I felt as though the light talk changed at least one person's perspective. So, do you think that we can change people's mindset on such topics by bringing serious questions through these light talks?Nazni Rizvi - “The motive of the show was to allow people to talk out their hearts through funny talks. We wanted them to talk about what's in their hearts themselves. Usually our reports are on serious topics, which is why we kept this talk show funny.”Mariyam -  I'll now move towards the more serious topics. Some of your reports are based on such topics that people usually do not associate with women journalists. Women are usually thought to report on casual topics such as food and fashion. So can you tell us about some such topics which you reported on and what kind of an experience it was for you?Nazni Rizvi - “One of my reports is on Sadhna Patel who is a ‘daaku' (dacoit)'. Chitrakoot region is surrounded by a lot of dacoits and these areas are terrorised by their deeds. Such incidents are often mentioned in many well known newspapers and news channels. I have reported on them and their stories, about how dacoits often torment villagers and the police are troubled a lot by them too. So when I heard about this female dacoit in Chitrakoot, I had a weird feeling. I felt bad. I kept thinking about what could've possibly turned the woman into a dacoit. I accepted that she was a dacoit, doing wrong, but I wanted to know the story of her life, about what made her do so. I wanted to know how she became a dacoit. So when I learnt about the village that she belonged to, first I went alone. After searching here and there, I reached her house and talked to people around her place. Her house was far from the village, in the jungle under a mountain. She lived only with her mother and her uncle. After researching well, I put her story as part of our monthly plan. The story interested Kavita didi also, and she too decided to come along. We fixed a date, booked an auto (because it was a jungle area). When we got off the auto, the auto driver was so scared. He kept the auto's engine on all throughout the 2-3 hours that we were inside her house, so we could escape quickly once our work was done. When we entered her house, we met her ‘Mausi' (mother's sister) and ‘Mama' (mother's brother) who narrated her story to us. We then requested to meet her mother, who herself looked very young, we even thought it could be Sadhna herself, pretending to be her mother in a ‘saree'. We were even wondering what if this is Sadhna, and she pulls out a gun and lodges a few bullets in us? (laughs)Initially her mother expressed anger, she wouldn't tell us anything, or show us Sadhna's photo. But we eventually explained to her that we were there as women, other than just being journalists and we wanted to write a report on Sadhna's story from a woman's perspective, to understand why she joined the dacoits in the first place. Her mother then narrated to us that Sadhna had fallen in love with somebody who she later married, but was sold by her husband to dacoits for INR 50000. Somehow she came back and would loiter in the jungle. People and relatives saw her but outlawed her. Due to the lack of support from her family, she ended up being among dacoits again. She came back and this time her mother sent her to live with their relatives. There as well, she was sold to a group of dacoits. She was repeatedly being sold to dacoits, and she couldn't find a way out. By now, the police too had started troubling her. She then resorted to living in the mountains with the dacoits. We don't know who did what to her, but there were some who she had beaten up during nights near the village. She wouldn't beat up everyone. It's possible she did it because they had harmed her or because they didn't support her when she rescued herself from the dacoits. There must've been a story behind who she chose to beat up, her stories resonated with that of Phoolan Devi. We got her real photo, all other media reports gave file photos of her. When we wrote her story and published it, it created a stir amongst the media. They came to us asking for her photo and story. Nobody had talked to anybody from her family, they wrote only what the police told them. Even journalists from Madhya Pradesh called us for her details, but we had a fixed date for publishing our article and we decided to share the details with them after our report had been published.”Mariyam - So when people called you, they were only asking for Sadhna's details. It probably tells that nobody really had the courage to go to Sadhna's place.Nazni Rizvi -“Nobody went. We even gave them location details, but they all thought that her family wouldn't talk to them, or tell them anything about her. They didn't try. Getting to know about Sadhna made me feel like people just put women down, instead of trying to know what she was put through and why she turned out to be the way she did.Nobody was interested in really knowing Sadhna's story and why she became a dacoit. Mariyam - Within the Muslim community, how do poeple react when they hear about you going to various places and covering the less-talked-about topics in your reports? How do they see it? What have you heard, or what do you think they feel about your decisions?Nazni Rizvi - “I belong to a Muslim family. I am a “bad” woman among my relatives and those around me because I roam around without a ‘purdah'/veil, I wear a ‘bindi', I go places, and do not have a man by my side. There is a notion among Muslims that women must move around with a man, even if it is a small boy. I talk to anybody and I don't hesitate in asking any questions, hence a bad woman. Once I was at my Khala's (mother's sister) place, and we were talking about something and I mentioned that there had been a rape somewhere. My Khala got upset that I used a word as rape in the presence of so many men. During my early days, I wouldn't go out to my relatives, nor would they talk to me. But things are changing slowly. People do meet me now. However, they still expect me to wear a ‘chador' (large scarf) if not a ‘naqaab' (veil) during family events.”Mariyam - Like you said, people in your family, initially did not understand your work and wouldn't talk to you. But now that you've been reporting as a journalist for so many years and have submitted multiple amazing reports, in a manner that a lot of us have so much to learn from you, do you think you've now been able to change people's perspective about you in the Muslim community? On the outside, it often seems very easy, what you do. People think that all you have to do is listen and see and report, but that's not quite true. How do you gather the courage to report such issues with utmost honesty alongside maintaining a humanitarian approach? Nazni Rizvi - “Muslims who are not my relatives have been very supportive of me and are happy to see me grow as a journalist. Sitting beside them, I've often heard them proudly introduce me as Nazni Ji, saying I'm a journalist, who goes to various places for reporting and has done various amazing coverage. But sometimes I also hear people say that I should either wear a bindi or change my name. But this is completely my choice, I like to wear bindi and so I do. Earlier, when I used to post on Facebook, I'd receive messages and comments from people asking me why I wear a ‘saree' or ‘bindi'. But isn't saree too just another piece of clothing? Even if you believe that Allah or Sharia doesn't allow some things, back in those days, almost nothing existed, not even clothes. Should we all refuse to wear clothes then? These comments call for a lot of debates.”Mariyam - I can absolutely understand your arguments, because the reason behind me starting Main Bhi Muslim was to primarily present the meaning of Indian Muslimness through mine and other people's stories. I want to tell people that we, the Muslims of India, live and spend our lives in many different ways. Like you mentioned, you are expected to either wear a bindi or change your name, or how we aren't supposed to wear a ‘saree', people even outside the muslim community have a very generalised perception of us as Muslim women. They have a predetermined picture of how we are, and how we are not. So what you said actually represents the foundation of Main Bhi Muslim.Mariyam - As you said in our previous conversation, there are places where you'd go wearing a ‘bindi' and may not immediately give your name because that could be in a Hindu colony which may create some problems for you initially, but eventually they learn your name and accept it easily. Nazni Ji, please tell us a little about how you feel about your identity when you go to such places. Have you ever felt like you being a Muslim could be problematic?Nazni Rizvi - “I usually visit rural areas, backward areas, people are still of a conservative mindset. When I go to a Muslim or Dalit dominated area, introducing myslef to them is easy. But when I go to cover big news or to places where most people belong to the upper castes, like Thakurs, Pandits, and Patels, they immediately ask what caste I belong to. In Bundeli, they will say, “Kaun behni hoo?” Meaning which caste do you belong to? Seeing me wear a ‘bindi' and ‘bichiyas' (ornamental jewellery traditionally worn by married women) sometimes they suggest I should also wear ‘chudis' and apply ‘sindoor', assuming I'm a Hindu. But even if I'm wearing a ‘bindi' and ‘bichiyas', I still do not introduce myself and disclose my caste immediately. I first talk about random things, ask for some water even if I'm not thirsty and create an atmosphere. But because they are so habitual to knowing castes, they do not talk openly unless they know about one's caste. I then tell them that I'm a Muslim and explain to them that despite our differences, our blood is the same right. There are only two differences, men and women; you're a woman and I'm a woman, that's the community we both belong to. They then talk to me comfortably. Sometimes wearing bindi makes it easier for me, but because I like wearing it, I always do so.”Mariyam - I must say that your way of winning people's hearts and creating the atmosphere to talk is so interesting, I really think I should learn it from you. Sometime back you'd told me about a school whose story you'd covered, for which you also received a prize. Could you tell me more about that story?Nazni Rizvi - “I received a call from a group of trustees / local guardians of the Kendriya Vidyalaya (public school) saying that the dilapidated school building was risky for the students, especially after a cylinder burst in it. It could fall anytime. They had invited many journalists saying they were going to submit a memorandum to the DM. When I went to the school to report the issue, the teachers weren't ready to talk to me in the absence of the Principal. I asked for the Principal's number and upon receiving that I spoke to the principal who accepted that even though the building is severely damaged, they are unable to locate another building space for the school and that the guardians are deliberately troubling them. The guardians wanted them to at least try but looked like the Principal wasn't willing to shift the school building. We then went to submit the memorandum to the DM and we talked to him. The DM then came with us to survey the school building. A trustee then informed me about another school that had shifted to a new building, and was vacant. We, along with the DM, visited the vacant building and approved it for use for the school. I published news for the same, and interviewed the DM, principal, students, and the trustees/guardians. The building was then cleaned for use and was ready for a new beginning. The trustees organised a program where they honored me with an idol of Lord Ganesha. There was disappointment among other journalists as they weren't honored. However, the trustees awarded me for working on their story and getting it published. I hadn't noticed the idol too much and hung it as a showpiece in my house. When people from the Muslim community would come to my place and see the idol, they'd ask me if I had re-married a Hindu or changed my religion and often said that it's a sin to keep a Hindu God's idol in one's home. If a Hindu visited my place, he/she would say that the idol was of no use to me while some would be happy seeing that I also have a Hindu God's idol hung up. Seeing an idol which is usually seen within Hindu homes, makes some people including Hindus and Muslims link me with a Hindu person, that I might be having a relationship with someone in the Chitrakoot region. For me the Ganesh ji idol is a gift, and I respect the gift whatever it is.” Mariyam - What you just said is a matter of huge concern for me because this sense of discrimination is what drives me to raise questions as to why we cannot adopt other cultures that are practiced in our country. Muslims have been in India for centuries now and our cultures have a lot of similarities. Yes, we do have our own set of practices as Muslims, but that should not barr us from adopting practices from other cultures. Since you bring here an amazing amalgamation of Hinduism, Muslimness and womanhood, I'd like to ask you if you think that people's mindset pertaining to these Hindu-Muslim prejudices can be changed through any means?Nazni Rizvi - “I live in a Hindu dominated region. Here as well, there's a common practice of Hindus not touching Muslims and if they do, they'd have to bathe again. Not only Hindus but Muslims do such things. Recently, I was invited to my relative's daughter's wedding. It was a Muslim dominated place. I told my aunt that I don't wear a veil, how can I come? She asked me to wear a ‘chaadar', meaning I should have myself covered with something. We cannot do  everything completely as per our wishes. So when I went there, I saw that they wouldn't buy milk from a Hindu's store, they'd drink black tea instead. They'll search the entire market in they are hungry, but wouldn't eat if they can't find a Muslim-owned eatery or shop. There are a lot of biases, Hindu-Muslim biases and discussions along those lines that keep on occurring. I was with a cousin once who was travelling from Azamgarh to Raebareli. She (being an ultra-narrow minded person) wouldn't even drink tea, but only pre-packed cold drinks throughout the journey. Upon asking why, she said it was because it would be difficult to determine whether the tea was made by a Hindu or a Muslim. It amazed me how she believed that Sharia proclaimed pre-packed food as clean, which could have also been packed by a Hindu or a Muslim. It confounds me that people can believe in such actions as (wrongly) being part of Sharia, because all of these Hindu-Muslim shops didn't exist back in the times when Sharia was being written. What is all the cultural pretense for? Don't eat anything in that case then. I held myself back for a long time, but eventually ended up having an argument with the cousin over her discriminatory attitude.”Mariyam - I believe you've said this at a very right time, especially when Muslims in India are being targeted repeatedly. And these are happening at a level where we can clearly see that a campaign is being run to create resentment against Muslims among the Hindus. How do you try to clear such resentments in the larger community? Nazni Rizvi - “We try to convince people that we are all living in the same country and are Indians before being Muslims. We have a very old slogan saying Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian, we are all brothers. So if we are all really brothers, all this bigotry is not right. Even Hindus don't eat from Muslim-owned eateries here. If we're going to bring religion into everything, who packed what food, whether Hindu or Muslim, it is going to be very difficult to bring about change anytime soon.” Mariyam - But change can happen?Nazni Rizvi - “Yes, it can. If every family gets one fighter like you and I, we can together bring about change.”Mariyam - Absolutely, if there's a Nazni Rizvi in every family, we can definitely change things. My second last question to you would be, how do you deal with the identity confusion where whilst you live within the Muslim community, they don't identify with you, and while you work outside this community they're still not able to understand and resonate with you. How do you feel about this? Sometimes I also face this confusion and it is part of the reason as to why I started Main Bhi Muslim, because alongside being women, Muslimness is part of our identity too, irrespective of our lifestyle. So, how do you deal with this confusion among people?Nazni Rizvi - “I want to add something to this. My identity has more layers to it. Even within Muslims, there are two communities. I am a Shia Muslim. I was married into a Sunni family. When I'm sitting among Sunnis, they think I'm a Shia and they make nasty comments about Shias. But when I'm sitting among Shias, they think I'm a Sunni and they pass comments on Sunnis. They slander Sunnis and tell my children that they do not belong to the Syyed family. This is also a kind of violence that I am fighting where I've been divided into 3 different communities. Because I come from a Shia family, I don't like those things where there is flagellation (during Muharram processions) and unnecessary bleeding.And when I call out such things, I'm considered an atheist among my family, I'm a bad woman. Saying so about Maula makes them think of me as deserving hell. The Sunnis ask if I offer Namaaz as many times as Shias do and vice-versa, whereas for me, I do not offer Namaaz (smiles). Neither the Shias kind nor the Sunnis kind. When I'm among Muslims, my ‘bindi' and ‘bichiyas' don't make me a Muslim and if I'm among Hindus, my name makes me Muslim. I'm not doing anything Muslim enough to be a Muslim, but that's what I am. I'm dealing with all these things. A lot of Muslim girls these days have started wearing a ‘bindi' for they do not think doing so is wrong.”Mariyam - We are learning from you. I think it's very important for us to have many examples like you within our community so that more girls, who want to pursue journalism, who want to make their own life decisions, have such inspiring figures that give them courage. It is essential they understand that they are not alone. So, what changes are required in the Muslim community which are necessary to bring about independence and maintain individuality in the identity of women, especially in rural areas where changing mindset is most difficult and time taking?Nazni Rizvi - “Within Muslims, the Purdah system and dressing restrictions need to first change, which are more common in rural areas. They have reduced in urban areas, but even today, Muslim women in Mumbai do not move out without a veil, irrespective of what they're wearing inside. For example, I allow my girls to wear all that they like. They wear shorts, skirts, jeans, and everything they like. They do not like wearing suits, but considering our society, I ask them to wear one sometimes so that they are habitual to it, that too because of what people in the community will say. But I never stop them from wearing what they like. We have a lot of dressing constraints, we are always asked to wear dupattas, even at home, even with our family. These things, the purdah system needs to change. It's not fair that if we are not under a veil, we are looked upon wrongly. In rural regions, even during big family functions, meals are also served in different places for both the genders, unlike in urban areas where everyone is just enjoying themselves together. During the ‘bidaai' of my cousin, not a single man or boy could come to meet her at the end, to bid her goodbye, not even her father, because the purdah system is so prevalent. It's very important for people to change their regressive attitudes towards others' religions. You're drinking black tea with lemon because the milk available is from a Hindu-owned dairy only. What if the lemon also comes from a tree owned by a Hindu?Mariyam - You are absolutely right, it's very important. And I see these things in your way of reporting too where you're able to talk to anyone because you ask the same questions to everyone. When you're making your videos, you ask everyone the questions pertaining to feminism, misogyny, biases within communities against others, and untouchability, irrespective of gender, and it is very important we all ask these right questions to ourselves and to everyone around us in order to arrive at the right answers. We cannot expect to change mindsets towards creating oneness and unity among all, unless we are asking the right questions.I ask all my guests: ‘Main bhi Muslim', what value do these 3 words hold for you? Nazni Rizvi - “It doesn't occur to me that I am a Muslim. What matters most to me is that I am a woman, an Indian. Whenever there's a match or a competition, it doesn't bother people much which country is on the opponent team. But if it is an India vs Pakistan match, Indian Hindus and Muslims have the same enthusiasm to support our country. Pakistan was indeed a piece of our once India, but India is where we are now, India feeds us, India is my nation. As Muslims residing in India, India should matter most to us. Yes, we could all have favorite players from any team around the world, but I don't feel any extra excitement each time that there's an India-Pakistan match, unlike most people. Hindus have this thing where they do not care about other matches or countries, all they want is that Pakistan shouldn't win. Neither Muslims, nor Hindus should think and act that way.”Mariyam -  I think, as a woman myself, this entire episode has helped me understand what topics need to be really talked about and must be resolved first, in order to bring about a change in the bigger picture, to change other things that are often talked about. We must get to the roots of all the issues that exist in our society, and here, the root is patriarchy. All issues must be talked about with a feministic perspective. Thank you, Nazni Ji. I'm really excited to release this episode. I'm really thankful to you from the bottom of my heart. Nazni Rizvi - “Sometimes, people do feel these things (patriarchy) but aren't able to say it out loud. When we ask people these questions, it forces them to think about it, and that could maybe trigger change. Deep down, they do understand that what they're doing is wrong and unfair, but aren't able to act on it. Therefore, it's very important to ask the right questions.”Mariyam - Thank you Nazni, for your questions, and I hope you'll continue raising the same issues and asking the right questions. I am confident that very soon, we'll have a Nazni Rizvi in every family in our society. With that hope and confidence we keep moving forward. Looking forward to seeing you sometime, somewhere. Nazni Rizvi - Thank you. :) ... This is a public episode.

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of inviting Rustom Patel. Rustom love affair with two-wheelers and passion for motorsports is not unknown. His is a name that hardly needs an introduction. Eight times Indian National Champion and 275 trophies are his prized possessions – that reflect his love and passion for two-wheelers. He started working on his beloved sport at a very young age, fulfilled several of his dreams, and has a bike training school in India to produce International stature bikers. In Rustom Patel's apartment, in the old, Art Deco-inspired Parsi neighborhood in Byculla, hangs a framed picture of him from 2001. It's easy to miss, hanging as it does amidst a jungle of brass – cups, shields, awards, mementos, citations – he has collected over a lifetime of racing atop two wheels. Over the years, it colonized all the shelf space in his apartment and threatened the cutlery in the kitchen. And this is just the metal he has collected. His brother Zubin and his cousin Kaizad, have a similar need for industrial quantities of Brasso – the brothers Patel have dominated the sport of motocross racing and off-road biking in India, from the late '80s to the late 2000s. The "Patels of Racing" they were called, and if you were a young speed junkie gunning the throttle for glory in those times, it was always a little annoying to see a Patel in the lineup. Rustom is currently KTM India Factory Rider, Brand Ambassador for Castrol Biking, and is the Racing India Head coach for Ajmera Realty.

#20: The Meaning of Marriage

The first evidence of marriage ceremonies dates back to 2350 BC in ancient Mesopotamia, and since then cultures around the world have had their various interpretations of this practice. So in this episode, we (Luke and Yankı) have a conversation about the meaning of marriage—both specifically for us but also more generally as a cultural phenomenon. We talk about marriage rates, divorce rates, and how the general view towards marriage has changed in our cultures over time. We also wondered what the definition of marriage is and just how strict the marriage vows should be. What does it mean to make an oath that you can never leave? Is it good or bad to be stuck in a marriage? And when is it morally okay to leave? Also what role should love play in a marriage? Those questions don’t have definite answers, but they are great jumping off points to explore the psychological, spiritual, and evolutionary aspects of marriage. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the episode! Timestamps (clickable on https://exploringkodawari.blog/podcast-episodes/the-meaning-of-marriage/ (webpage)):[02:30] What is the definition of marriage?

(Welcome to this first edition of The Payneful Truth. For the audio version click on the play button above, or for the text version, just read on … )Naming anything is difficult. Babies, sporting teams, cars. Especially cars it seems. Some genius from marketing must have argued for the Kia Pro_cee'd, and the Subaru Brat, and (my very favourite) the Nissan Cedric.My irreverent son came up with The Payneful Truth for this new weekly journal, and it has grown on me, I have to say. It has a touch of Australian self-mockery about it, and it rolls of the tongue easily enough. And the more I have thought about it, the more The Payneful Truth captures what I'm hoping to achieve in this weekly journal.For a start, it names the essential nature of every kind of Christian ministry, including this one, which is to speak the saving, judging, life-changing truth of Christ. This is the truth that convicts us, critiques us, corrects us, trains us, and sets us free. It redeems our minds and hearts to know and live in reality—like the proverbial fish stranded on a sandy shore that has now been set free to swim in the ocean. This is the truth that Paul urges all us of to speak in love—not only to stabilise us when the buffeting winds of false doctrine blow, but to nourish and grow the body of Christ (Eph 4:14-16). And that really is the main and simple reason that I've launched this new journal—to speak the truth about every aspect of Christian life and ministry, so that those who read (or listen) will be encouraged and equipped to do the same.Νοw, this truth is ‘in Jesus', as Paul puts it (Eph 4:20). It is certainly not ‘in Payne'! It is only available through the Word that has come to us from outside—from the God who is the truth, and who has supremely and finally revealed the truth of reality in the person, teaching and work of his Son.But this truth of Christ is only made available to us through human speech—through the authoritative speech of the Scriptural authors first of all, but also through each one of us as we convey the Scriptural truth to others, in whatever form, context, length, mode or vibe in which we speak it. The fulness of God is in Christ, and that fulness is made known as each one of us brings the word of Christ to others, each in our own unique way, with our own unique contexts and opportunities. In that sense the truth of Christ is always Smith-ful and Lee-ful and Patel-ful—and even Payne-ful. Which also means that I am hoping and praying that all you Smiths, Lees and Patels out there will also be speaking the truth—not only to all those around you, but back to me, and to other readers. (Fee free to hit ‘reply' and send me a message, or make a comment in the comments section.)Of course, speaking the truth is usually ‘payneful' in the other sense as well. It often hurts to speak the truth, because it exposes us to the criticism of others. And it hurts to hear the truth, because it exposes the lie that we've been living—whether the primary cancerous lie of being a rebel against God's truth, or all the little lies that metastasise from that, and spread through our lives and personalities, and continue to afflict us as Christians. The truth undercuts and rewrites the false narratives that the world continually whispers in our ears, and which we come to cherish. And because those narratives are so pervasive and so easily and widely accepted (the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction), Christian truth is very often painfully contrarian. In fact, when an opinion or view is widely and commonly held by the world, my immediate (and I think right) instinct is to suspect that something somewhere is wrong.In our current climate, where moralistic secularism seems to be getting more censoriously aggressive with each passing social media outrage, we need to speak and hear this truth of Christ more than ever. That's the big aim of this little journal, The Payneful Truth. Thanks for being with me at the beginning. Please let me know how it's going (as I get into the rhythm), and if there's a pressing question or issue you'd like me to address, don't hesitate to get in touch. And as for whether The Payneful Truth is a good name—or another Nissan Cedric in the making—only time, and the ridicule of future generations, will tell.PS. If you're not already a subscriber, jump on board. It's free, and it's the only way to get The Payneful Truth regularly. PPS. I'm planning to finish each edition with a fairly random or tenuously connected image (so that the post archive has a bit of visual interest). And today it has to be the venerable Nissan Cedric.

In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking with Akash Patel of Akash Winery.  In this episode we speak to Akash about:  Everything Temecula!!!!! Working with Family Building a Winery in a growing area And so much more…………… Akash's Bio Akash Winery & Vineyards is owned and operated by the Patel Family, Ray, Nalini and Akash. With a life long dream of owning their own winery, The Patels invested in a parcel of land in the beautiful Temecula Valley Wine Country in 2010. The story of the Winery begins at the vineyard. Located in the heart of Temecula's Wine Country, off of Calle Contento, the vineyard stretches across a 20 acre parcel where the Patels, Winemaker Renato Sais, and the winery staff give the vines the upmost care all year long. Working together, learning and understanding viniculture, curating the perfect grape & vine, and learning the wine business have become a huge passion for the team. 100% estate grown & single vineyard, Akash wines are developed with passion and sophistication. The wines showcase familiar varietals in contemporary, eye catching packaging, and are crafted with consistency of style and quality across all vintages. The Akash Winery & Vineyards tasting room officially opened mid 2019, though the Patels also hope to open a resort, spa, events venue, and bed & breakfast in the coming years. From the Patel Family to yours, we hope you enjoy our story and the wine that we produce.  For more information:  https://akashwinery.com/  Social Media: Instagram: @akashwinery Facebook: @akashwinery Twitter: @akashwinery  Resources: https://www.temeculawines.org/

On this week's episode of Saturday School, we revisit the 2010 feature film The Taqwacores, which follows a group of characters living together in Buffalo, New York who are part of the Islamic punk scene. We laugh about how in Hollywood movies, the "outsider" character who introduces the audience to a fascinating minority subculture is usually a white guy, but in The Taqwacores, it's an innocent first-generation Pakistani engineering student. We compare a joke Dominic Rains' character makes about a jihad on his nuts, to Taz Ahmed's best-selling Muslim Valentine's Day card that says "I have a ji-hard-on for you." Brian ties the movie's white girl romance storyline to the recent conversation being had about the lack of South Asian female perspectives in current South Asian stories like The Big Sick, Master of None, Meet the Patels etc., but Ada kinda forgives The Taqwacores for being so "testosterone-y." Good times.

Indigenous Nations all over the world have been occupied for centuries by settlers who push them off of their land and take resources without permission or respect for the land, water and air. After trying to use domestic and international approaches, including the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to regain legal sovereignty and failing, Indigenous Nations are rising up. We speak with Clayton Thomas Muller, Sylvia Mcadam and SuZanne MoniQue Patels of Idle No More about the movement, steps they are taking to protect the Earth and the October 7 Day to Proclaim Sovereignty. Today is the 250th anniversary of the Royal Proclamation, also known as the Indian's Magna Carta. For more information, see ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.
