In 2006, the story of Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil's coming out made headlines in India and around the world. His effigies were burnt in Rajpipla, where the traditional society was shocked and publicly jeered and heckled. His family accused him of bringing dishonor and disowned him soon after, but Prince Manvendra felt a sense of inner freedom in which he was released from a "prison within a prison within a prison." Manvendra Singh Gohil is the Crown Prince of Rajpipla, an erstwhile princely State of Gujarat and the 39th direct descendant of the 650-year-old Gohil Dynasty. He is the first member of a royal family to openly come out as gay to the world. He has been interviewed by Oprah Winfrey several times and has been featured on the show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Prince Manvendra is the Chairperson and Co-founder of Lakshya Trust dedicated towards Empowerment of the LGBT community. He is also the Brand Ambassador of AIDS Healthcare Foundation India Cares, the world's oldest and largest non-profit organization for HIV testing and treatment. Currently, Prince Manvendra is developing his dream project, an LGBTQA community campus at his royal establishment of Hanumanteshwar for the social and financial empowerment of LGBT community. He has been appointed on the Advisory Board of Eyes Open International an American non-profit organization for addressing issues on Human Trafficking.

“It's part city beautiful movement, part preservation, part making the city more walkable and just creating like a nice civic space that people can enjoy.” This summer, my friend Ranajay invited me to spend a weekend in Rajpipla and promised to show me some really good buildings – not quite telling me at first that he belonged to the royal family of Rajpipla and that his ancestors had commissioned the buildings that we were going to see. We spoke extensively about patronage, culture, gentrification and urban regeneration – and there was no way I was not recording it! Ranajay Chand is a Master of Public Policy candidate at Georgetown University and has received his BA in Politics and International Relations from Royal Holloway, University of London. He has worked for the Secretary General's Envoy on Youth at the United Nations and is currently involved in the urban historic regeneration of his hometown Rajpipla in India.

After some technical difficulties ...A NEW EPISODE!!"Hold on (hold on)Stay Strong (stay strong)Press on(for me baby)I Care 4 U(I care 4 u)" FIRST VERSE: This week's #GayRelationshipGoals is Indian royalty. Manvendra Singh Gohil (@manvendrasinghgohil) came out in 2006, receiving an endless amount of threats and bullying seeing as how the royal family of Rajpipla had never had an out and proud gay Prince in its 600+ year dynasty. Manvendra has since become an advocate for gay rights, working to establish a shelter for LGBTQ+ people and using his platform to bring attention to it. Check out his profile and send him some love. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about something that shouldn't be a topic ... but obviously is: wearing a mask. Join them and gather their take on this war on masks and (hopefully) learn that they are more helpful than they are harmful. Finally, the guys sit down at the virtual Critable to connect with Michael and Ian (@ilovethatforyou) to find out a little bit more about their pre-covid wedding, quarantined honeymoon, and living out their podcast dreams. This is a fun episode you won't want to miss!

Welcome to the first AKK for 2018! As promised, for this edition of Aaj Ka Kabootar we are going to keep everything #posivibesonly! But before we jump to our top stories, Pappu & Sweety give an update on the #MeToo movement. We talk about Aziz Ansari & about the spectrum that is the prevalent rape culture. Our top stories: first up, its award season, we talk about The Grammys, Filmfare, the Golden Globes + the Fashun at the Black Panther premier. Sweety shares her #MCM Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, the first openly gay royal of the state of Rajpipla in Gujarat. He is pushing back against traditions, stereotypes and taboos to convert his palace into an LGBTQA sanctuary. We also talk about a new “breakthrough therapy” to treat victims of PTSD. And finally, stay tuned for a review of #Padmavat (SPOILERS!) with a surprise guest – Hriday Ranjan, the sarcastic voice behind heartranjan.com. Sweety asks him of what he thought of the much-politicized Sanjay Leela Bansali magnum opus.

Lucy Ash revisits some of the significant stories covered in recent years and discovers what has changed since our initial reports. In some instances, there have been attempts to bring suspects to justice. In 2009 Crossing Continents uncovered disturbing evidence of alleged atrocities by the Kosovo Liberation Army during the Kosovo War ten years ago. Since then a trial has opened in the capital Pristina and two former KLA leaders are being prosecuted for war crimes. The case began in March 2011, just a few months after Dick Marty, Special Rapporteur of the Council of Europe, released an explosive report claiming that the KLA summarily executed prisoners and harvested their kidneys to sell for organ transplants. Also in 2009 Crossing Continents looked at claims that Rwandans in France and Germany were controlling a deadly African militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Reporter Peter Greste tracked down Callixte Mbarushimana to a Paris cafe. The elegantly dressed rebel Hutu leader flatly denied his group was responsible for attacks against civilians. But then, last October, Mbarushimana was arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court in the the Hague accused of 11 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including rape and murder. Bereaved families and victims in Congo have long complained about a climate of impunity - could that be about to change? There appears to be a disheartening lack of change in Turkmenistan. Lucy Ash travelled there undercover in 2005 to find out what ordinary life was like for the citizens of one of the world's most repressive dictatorships. Despite the gold and marble clad buildings in the capital Ashgabat, she found people deprived not only of all rights and freedoms, but also of basic necessities such as healthcare. At that time the country was ruled by a man who renamed the month of April after his mother, outlawed ballet and banned gold teeth. The current president, ex dentist Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov is less flamboyant but his promised reforms have failed to materialise. Doctors Without Borders, the last international nongovernmental organisation operating in the country recently left because the government refused to allow a programme to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis. This special edition also catches up with an American policeman who created a cult following for his "Street Story" podcasts, vivid vignettes of his work for the Tulsa Police Department. And now that India has decriminalised homosexuality, what has happened to the Gay Prince of Rajpipla, once shunned by his family and his community?
