In this episode of Bharatvaarta, host Sharan engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Professor Goutham Desiraju from the Indian Institute of Science. The discussion revolves around Professor Desiraju's follow-up book on the delimitation of states in India, a pressing and contentious topic in contemporary Indian politics. The conversation addresses the need for equal value of votes across different constituencies, the historical and political context of the delimitation freeze, and the implications of reconfiguring state boundaries. Professor Desiraju provides a comprehensive analysis of how delimitation, if done scientifically and fairly, can help India become a more balanced and prosperous democracy. The episode also touches on the broader themes of governance, the effects of linguistic states, and the importance of electoral reforms in achieving a true global leadership status for Bharat by 2047. Topics: 00:00 Introduction 01:37 Discussion on Delimitation 06:57 Historical Context and Current Issues 11:19 Challenges and Future Prospects 18:35 Demographic Concerns and Solutions 38:58 Linguistic Politics and British Influence 43:05 The British Strategy Against Orissa 43:48 Linguistic States and Social Silence 44:37 British Influence on Local Languages 46:35 Historical Repetition and Linguistic Demands 47:26 Gandhi and Linguistic States 50:17 The Role of Language in Identity 51:25 Jesuit Influence in Tamil Nadu 54:48 The Evolution of Language and Identity 01:06:19 Small States and Governance 01:13:09 Concluding Thoughts on Delimitation Buy the book Amazon: https://amzn.in/d/aetUjcS

Great gaming investors bring more than just cash to the table—they offer strategy, trust, and a shared vision for success. Jetapult hits the mark on all three and, like its name, gives studios the fuel they need to rocket toward sustainable growth, focusing on empowerment rather than just rapid expansion. Peggy Anne Salz and Brian Baglow sit down with Jetapult Co-Founder and CEO Sharan Tulsiani to explore how Jetapult's partnership-driven approach sets it apart from traditional VCs. Drawing from his experience as the former Head of Google Play Games in India, Australia, and New Zealand—and as the creator of Google's Indie Games Accelerator—Sharan shares how Jetapult helps studios leverage data, cultural insights, and operational expertise to scale smarter. He also offers rare insights into what investors really want to hear from studios during pitches and how by prioritizing long-term stability and creative freedom, Jetapult ensures developers remain firmly in the driver's seat. Sharan also dives into specific examples, like helping one studio cut production time by 70% with AI-driven tools and achieving #1 on app store charts by focusing on culturally resonant gameplay.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Kevin Vuong, Independent M-P for Spadina - Fort York Sharan Kaur, political strategist, and partner at Sovereign Advisory Discuss: 1 - The prime minister spoke to the premiers last night around 5 p.m. about presenting a united front against the U.S. tariff threats against Canada made by Donald Trump. The premiers were also expected to push Trudeau to change direction by bending more to Trump's demands to maintain cross-border trade. Justin Trudeau rarely seems to listen to the advice of his premiers across Canada so why now are we expected to believe he's willing to work in a united front with them? 2 - BlogTO put out the results of a recent poll that said 55 percent of the people in the City of Toronto don't feel “we are moving in the right direction to ensure a high quality of life for me and my family.” The checklist is pretty long but if you had control of the city, what are some of the first tangible solutions you would install to help improve the quality of life here in the city?
