Selfies are more than fleeting images—across India, they shape how people imagine themselves, connect with others, and inhabit spaces. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Prof. Xenia Zeiler from the University of Helsinki talks to Prof. Avishek Ray about his co-authored book Digital Expressions of the Self(ie): The Social Life of Selfies in India. This book explores how the digital selfie, unlike traditional photography, turns the lens inward while reconfiguring social identities, gender norms, power relations, and everyday interactions. Drawing on rich, situated examples, it shows how selfies operate as acts of self-making and place-making in contemporary India. At once playful and political, intimate and public, selfies offer a fascinating entry point into the fast-changing cultures of digital media and visual expression. Avishek Ray is Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at the National Institute of Technology Silchar, India. His research spans mobility, marginality, and digital culture, with a focus on South Asia. He is the author of The Vagabond in the South Asian Imagination (Routledge, 2022) and co-author of Digital Expressions of the Self(ie): The Social Life of Selfies in India (Routledge, 2024). A Fulbright-Nehru Fellow (2021), he has held visiting fellowships at institutions across Europe, North America, and Asia. Xenia Zeiler is Professor of South Asian Studies at the University of Helsinki.

How Humans Shaped History: From Migration to Civilization Collaps. In this thought-provoking podcast, historian and researcher Yadav Devkota takes us on a journey through the origins of human civilization and the milestones that shaped our shared history. The conversation begins with how humans first migrated into South Asia and the surprising story of four different human species that once lived across Asia and Europe. Yadav Devkota then unpacks the history of animal domestication, explaining how our oldest companions transformed survival and society. The discussion moves into the rise of ancient civilizations, exploring how they molded global culture, developed systems of knowledge, and laid the foundation for traditions and innovations still relevant today. Yet alongside their achievements, we also learn why these civilizations eventually collapsed, revealing critical lessons about resilience, governance, and survival. Finally, we dive into Mesopotamian brilliance—how humans first tracked time, built mathematical systems, and laid down the earliest laws that changed the course of human progress. This podcast is more than a history lesson; it's a journey into the human story, where migration, innovation, and civilization shaped the destiny of our species. If you are curious about anthropology, ancient culture, or the origins of human society, Yadav Devkota's insights will leave you with a deeper understanding of how the past continues to shape our present and future.
How drivers and artists have transformed the humble truck into works of art?
South Asia expert Jonah Blank explains how a Gen-Z–driven uprising—fueled by social media, flaunted elite wealth, and ubiquitous VPNs—toppled Nepal's government. He sketches a country where remittances power daily life, institutions lack public trust, and political parties play musical chairs. Also: Trump fires another U.S. attorney and pressures Microsoft to oust a former DOJ official. And in the Spiel: Hamas's willingness to release hostages, and how Israel's democratic self-image shapes the next move.

One of the most surprising developments in Washington, if you're a South Asia-watcher, is the surprising turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Having largely sidelined Pakistan over the past decade or more, the current U.S. administration has courted Pakistan with an enthusiasm that has caught many analysts off-guard.In June, Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, in the White House. A few weeks later, the White House struck a trade deal with Pakistan that kept the tariff rate at 19 percent, lower even than the 25 percent rate slapped on India. Finally, officials from both sides have been discussing joint ventures in cryptocurrency and critical minerals.To talk more about the sudden thaw in U.S.-Pakistan ties, Milan is joined on the show this week by Uzair Younus. Uzair is Chief Product Officer at TAG AI, the artificial intelligence-enabled platform developed by The Asia Group.Prior to joining The Asia Group, Uzair served as Director of the Pakistan Initiative at the Atlantic Council. He's the host of the podcast, Pakistonomy, a show which gives listeners an accessible way of understanding developments related to the politics, economics, and foreign policy of Pakistan. Uzair is also the author of a new book, Future Ready: Innovation, Abundance And The Global South. On this week's show, the two discuss Washington's quiet reassessment of Pakistan, the Trump administration's interest in Pakistan's critical minerals, and the military lessons of Operation Sindoor. Plus, the two discuss the prospects for India-Pakistan rapprochement and the Trump administration's interest in mediation. To watch this episode, click here.Episode notes:1.

My guest today is Nick O'Donohoe CMG – former CEO of British International Investment, co-founder of Big Society Capital, and one of the early figures to frame impact investing as a financial discipline.Nick spent nearly three decades in global banking – first at Goldman Sachs, then at JPMorgan, where he rose to become Global Head of Research.When the crisis hit in 2008, Nick left JPMorgan to explore whether finance could be used to serve people who had never been served by it at all.That search took him to Bellagio, where the Rockefeller Foundation had gathered a small group of investors, philanthropists, and bankers to explore a new idea – something that would eventually become known as impact investing.Nick brought a small research team – and the ability to put JPMorgan's name on something. He offered to write a report explaining what impact investing could be: who it was for, how it might work, and why it mattered.That report – Impact Investments: An Emerging Asset Class – was the first of its kind. It gave the idea a name, a structure, and a platform. For the first time, the field became legible – to banks, to investors, and to the wider world.A few years later, he left banking to co-found Big Society Capital (now known as Better Society Capital) with Sir Ronald Cohen. Their mission was to use dormant assets to back the UK's social sector.Big Society Capital backed early-stage social enterprises, co-founded intermediaries, and pushed for legal structures that could attract blended capital.In 2017, Nick became CEO of CDC Group – later British International Investment – the UK's development finance institution. His mandate: deploy billions in public capital into emerging markets, while balancing risk, return, and development goals.Under his leadership, BII invested in solar and wind, hospitals, digital connectivity, agribusiness, and venture capital. Most of that capital flowed into Africa, South Asia, and parts of the Caribbean.He also launched the Catalyst Portfolio – where expected returns were zero or even negative. He introduced an Impact Score to measure social and environmental outcomes with the same rigor as financial ones.During his time at BII, over 60% of the portfolio went into African countries. He believes capital needs to be structured differently to reach the people and places that need it most. That's where development finance has to step in – to fill the gaps the market won't touch on its own.Now Nick is about to start as a Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he'll be focused on what comes next.If I had to sum up our conversation in one word, it would be risk – financial, political, and moral. But we talked about much more.Tune in to hear from Nick O'Donohoe firsthand.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Nick O'Donohoe CMG LinkedIn- British International Investment website- Impact Investments: An Emerging Asset Class

A Lifetime of Obedience: The Ministry of Teaching In this episode, Pastor Jack King welcomes his former college roommate, McLean Hawthorne, a missionary who has served in South Asia for over 40 years. McLean recounts his unique journey into ministry, highlighting how God's sovereign hand guided him from a lost, confused college student to a passionate teacher of the Gospel. Listen in as McLean shares: -- How a childhood memory of a map of South Asia resurfaced as a confirmation of his calling. -- The story of how a friend's simple advice to "read the Gospel of John" led to his salvation and a complete transformation of his life. -- The miraculous way God connected him to his wife, Tammy, even while he was on the mission field. -- His primary ministry focus, inspired by the Great Commission, of teaching believers to obey Jesus's commands. -- How technology, like Zoom and Teams, has allowed him to continue teaching in Bible colleges in countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Albania. -- His philosophy of ministry, which he describes as a ripple effect, training reliable people who will, in turn, teach others, fulfilling God's strategy for multiplying the Gospel.

In early September 2025, Nepal witnessed an extraordinary week of upheaval that many now refer to as the ‘five-day revolution'. Within the span of a single week, youth-led ‘Gen Z' protests spread across Kathmandu and other major cities, the prime minister and his government resigned, the army intervened, parliament was dissolved, and Nepal's new (and first female) interim prime minister was sworn in. The events revealed deep frustrations among young Nepalis with corruption, socioeconomic exclusion, and a lack of political accountability. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Dr. Jeevan Baniya joins host Hanna Geschewski to explore the deeper forces behind this moment. They discuss the grievances that brought young Nepalis to the streets, why these long-standing frustrations erupted now, and how the ‘Gen Z' protests should be understood in relation to questions of representation and political change. The conversation also considers the diversity within Nepal's youth movement and the pathways through which young people may shape politics in the aftermath of the uprising. Jeevan Baniya is a political scientist and Deputy Director of the research institute Social Science Baha in Kathmandu, Nepal. Hanna Geschewski is a PhD researcher in Human Geography at the Chr. Michelsen Institute and the University of Bergen in Norway. Her work focuses on migration, displacement and socio-environmental change in the Himalayan region and South Asia.

Four and a half thousand miles away in Nepal, Gen Z protestors recently brought down their government in just 48 hours, amid roiling anger over corruption and nepotism. The uprising, led by online influencers harnessing the power of AI and Tik Tok, has sent shockwaves through South Asia. So, this week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker decides it's time to look at U.K. politics through the eyes of Gen Z — generally regarded as those born between 1997 and 2012. Luke Tryl, UK director of polling company More in Common, sheds light on the concerns of a generation that has only ever known constant crisis — from the 2008 financial crash to Brexit paralysis and then the Covid-19 pandemic. A Gen Z focus group describes what matters to them, and which political parties are grabbing their attention. Gen Z MPs — Sam Carling, the Labour MP known as the ‘Baby of the House', Keir Mather, who recently became the youngest Government minister in 200 years, and Lib Dem MP Joshua Reynolds — set out their plans to restore their generation's faith in mainstream Westminster politics. ‘Your Party' co-leader Zarah Sultana, which has polled well with young people, speaks to Patrick at a grassroots party meeting in North London, where we hear from Gen Z about their hopes for the future, and why they still back Jeremy Corbyn. With a big increase in Gen Z men voting for Reform UK, Owain Clatworthy, a 21-year-old Reform UK councillor in Bridgend in Wales, explains why he stood for Nigel Farage's right-wing populist party at such a young age. And following the recent killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a U.S.college campus, Patrick attends his memorial in London to speak to young men inspired by Kirk's ultra-conservative brand of right-wing politics.

For a quarter century, Washington policymakers made a strategic bet on India premised on the belief that shared values, shared interests, and a shared strategic convergence in Asia would bind these two countries together as ‘natural allies' in the twenty-first century. All of this optimistic talk came crashing down to Earth a few months ago with the Trump administration's decision to slap 25 percent tariffs on Indian exports. This was exacerbated by a second decision to add an additional 25 percent tariff on India for its import of Russia oil. Taken together, these policy measures plunged U.S.-India relations into their most significant crisis since the late 1990s and the era of U.S. sanctions on India in the wake of the latter's nuclear tests.How did we get here? Where are we now? And where might we be going? These are the questions Milan takes up on this week's show with guest Ashley J. Tellis. Tellis is the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and is well-known to Grand Tamasha listeners as one of the sanest, wisest voices on South Asia and U.S.-India relations, more specifically. Milan and Ashley discuss the policy of U.S. “strategic altruism” toward India, the ongoing trade negotiations between the United States and India, and Modi's recent visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in China. Plus, the two discuss the latest turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations and whether the thaw in China-India relations is sustainable. Episode notes:1. Robert D. Blackwill and Ashley J.

When we think about flashpoints between India and Pakistan, most people picture borders, bombs, or Kashmir. But the most strategic weapon in South Asia today may not be nuclear—it's water.The Indus Water Treaty has been called one of the world's most successful peace agreements, surviving wars, nuclear standoffs, and decades of political hostility. But in April this year, India suspended the treaty after a terrorist attack in Kashmir, effectively threatening to choke off the lifeline of Pakistan's agriculture and economy. For the first time in 65 years, the Indus—an ancient river system that sustains over 250 million people—has been turned into a tool of coercion.This is more than a regional spat. It's a live experiment in how climate stress, nationalism, and security fears can dismantle one of the last bastions of cooperation between nuclear rivals. And if water becomes a weapon here, what does it mean for other fragile river basins—the Nile, the Mekong, the Jordan—where upstream states already hold the cards?Today, I'm joined by Professor Ashok Swain, UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation and Head of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University. He has authored and edited 20 books and more than 150 journal articles, and he is also the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal Environment and Security, published by Sage. He has also served as a consultant on environmental and development issues, advising various international organisations, including UN agencies, OCSE, NATO, EU, IISS, the Arab League and Oxfam, as well as the governments of Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Singapore. Few people understand more about how rivers can both unite and divide nations. His work spans transboundary water politics, climate security, and conflict dynamics, and he has been one of the most vocal critics of India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

India's neighborhood and the wider world are in flux — from youth-led protests in Nepal and regime change in Bangladesh, to Pakistan's endless games and China's march to 2049. In this no-holds-barred conversation, former R&AW chief Vikram Sood joins us to decode what it all means for India's security, sovereignty, and future. Sood explains why Pakistan's army is driven by an Islamist mindset, why “democracy” for the West really means obedience, and how India must think beyond neighbors to play the great game of geopolitics. We dive into the turmoil in South Asia, America's hidden hand, China's civilizational patience, and the real lessons from the Ukraine war. Along the way, he drops razor-sharp one-liners — including “We can't choose our neighbors, but we can ignore them.” — that capture the essence of India's choices in a dangerous world. This episode is a deep dive into power, perception, and survival in the 21st century. ⸻ Chapters 00:00 – Intro: Why Geopolitics Never Sleeps 01:15 – Nepal in Chaos: Gen-Z Protests and Internet Revolt 02:40 – Bangladesh Uprising & America's Hidden Hand 08:00 – Pakistan's Deep State & Islamist Army Mindset 15:00 – “We Can't Choose Our Neighbors, But We Can Ignore Them” 19:00 – Balakot, Nuclear Myths & India's Deterrence Strategy 22:30 – Democracy vs Obedience: What the West Really Wants 25:50 – Why a Good Opposition is Critical for India's Future 37:00 – Middle East Balancing Act: Iran, Israel & India 42:00 – China's Long Game: Power and Patience Until 2049 48:00 – Ukraine War & Why America is Losing 54:00 – India's Path Forward & Closing Thoughts ⸻

Ecological and political instability have time and again emerged as catalysts for risky development projects along India's south-west coastline. In An Encroaching Sea: Nature, Sovereignty and Development at the Edge of British India, 1860-1950 (Cambridge UP, 2024) Devika Shankar probes this complicated relationship between crisis and development through a focus on a port development project executed in Cochin in the first quarter of the twentieth century amidst significant political and ecological uncertainty. While ecological concerns were triggered by increasing coastal erosion, a political crisis was precipitated by a neighbouring princely state's unprecedented attempt to extend its sovereignty over the British port. This integrative environmental, legal, and political history brings together the history of British India and the princely states to show how these anxieties ultimately paved the way for an ambitious port development project in the final years of colonial rule. In the process it deepens our understanding of environmental transformations and development in modern South Asia and the uneven nature of colonial sovereignty. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh Learn more about your ad choices.

The reset between India and China appears to be holding. Nearly two weeks after President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi met on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Tianjin, five years of frigid ties between the two Asian powers are steadily thawing. However, it will take more than summits and statements to rebuild trust, particularly among Indian policymakers who remain wary of China's close ties with Pakistan and Beijing's broader ambitions across South Asia. Constantino Xavier, a senior fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress in New Delhi and co-author of an in-depth report on Chinese engagement in South Asia, joins Eric to discuss how Modi aims to balance ties with China, the U.S. and Russia while preserving India's legendary non-alignment strategy.

In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host and CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with Alabama State Sen. Arthur Orr, Chairman of the Education Trust Fund, for an in-depth conversation on the state's educational landscape, political evolution, and pathways to prosperity. Hailing from North Alabama's rapidly growing District 3, encompassing Morgan County and parts of Limestone and Madison Counties, Orr shares his personal journey—from his roots in a family with deep Alabama ties, to his time in the Peace Corps in Nepal, Habitat for Humanity in South Asia, and his legal career before entering politics in 2006. Orr recounts his challenging entry into the Senate during a Democrat-dominated era, the pivotal 2010 Republican takeover, and the ethics reforms that followed high-profile scandals. As chair of the education budget, he addresses Alabama's persistent education challenges, noting a near-doubling of funding since 2017 under Gov. Kay Ivey. Despite criticisms that increased spending hasn't always yielded results, Orr highlights legislative-driven reforms like the Literacy Act (preventing social promotion for non-readers), the Numeracy Act (boosting math scores from 52nd nationally to the 30s), and the Choose Act, which introduces school choice and competition. He praises these initiatives for originating in the legislature rather than the State School Board, emphasizing accountability and measurable progress. The discussion delves into the Alabama Education Association's diminished influence compared to its heyday under Paul Hubbert, and also Orr's views on higher education, including prioritizing in-state students, scrutinizing out-of-state tuition benefits, and enforcing compliance with laws banning divisive concepts (DEI). He warns of funding cuts for non-compliant institutions and critiques leftist biases in university curricula, advocating for meritocracy and race-neutral policies. Orr also touches on controversial topics like the Magic City Acceptance Academy, suggesting oversight by the state charter commission and potential use of the "power of the purse." Finally, he spotlights his "success sequence" bill—now law—teaching middle schoolers three research-backed steps to escape poverty: graduate high school, get a job, and avoid out-of-wedlock children, boasting a 96% success rate. Tune in for an honest, forward-looking dialogue on reforming Alabama's education system, fostering conservative values, and building a brighter future. Whether you're a parent, educator, or policy enthusiast, this episode offers invaluable insights into the decisions shaping the Yellowhammer State.
We all know technology and geopolitics shape the world, but there's a quieter, less obvious force that dictates the flow of wealth and opportunity: demographics. Where people live, where they move, and how populations grow or shrink — these are the currents that ultimately drive economic gravity. That's why all of the multifamily investments you see through Investor Club focus on areas where there is job creation. Where there is job creation, there is population growth, and people have to live somewhere. Scale that concept up to a global level, and you start to see why migration, climate, and demographics are the real megatrends of the century. Take China — decades of the one-child policy have created a demographic cliff. Contrast that with parts of Africa and South Asia, where populations are booming. Add to this the wildcard of AI, which could either amplify the advantages of youthful nations or offset aging ones. For investors, entrepreneurs, and anyone thinking long term, the key isn't where the puck is today — it's where the puck is going. That's the topic of this week's Wealth Formula Podcast.

Partition—the rapid, uncoordinated, and bloody split between India and Pakistan after the Second World War—remains the central event of South Asian history. But 1947 wasn't the only partition, according to historian and filmmaker Sam Dalrymple. Sam, in his book Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia (William Collins, 2025), notes that “British India” once spanned all the way from the Arabian Peninsula to the border with Thailand, covering South Arabia, South Asia and Burma. Yet between 1937 and 1971, the region split into various different national entities, creating the countries and borders we see today. Sam is a historian, filmmaker, and cofounder of Project Dastaan, a peacebuilding initiative that reconnects refugees displaced by the 1947 partition of India.

CONTINUED Gregory Copley: Gregory Copley discusses China's military parade, calling its claim of sole WWII victory a "breathtaking fiction" meant to boost the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) collapsing credibility amidst widespread anti-CCP protests and a disrupted military.

Mary Kissel: Mary Kissel critiques China's military parade, labeling Xi Jinping's claim of sole WWII victory a "complete fiction" aimed at promoting a "new world order" and expanding influence. She expresses concern over India's presence at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, viewing it as a potential move towards neutrality that could undermine US efforts to counter China's regional militarization. Kissel also attributes the rise of Eurosceptic, pro-Russian populist parties in Europe to the failure of mainstream political parties to adequately address citizens' economic realities, leading to cynicism and a challenge to US policy. 1015-1030 CONTINUED: Mary Kissel: Mary Kissel critiques China's military parade, labeling Xi Jinping's claim of sole WWII victory a "complete fiction" aimed at promoting a "new world order" and expanding influence.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 #LONDONCALLING: @JOSEPHSTERNBERG @WSJOPINION Joseph Sternberg: discusses the alarming speculation that the UK and France might require IMF bailouts due to their enormous debt piles and fiscal deficits, and a political inability to implement austerity measures. He notes the UK is exhibiting "precrisis" signs with a weakening pound and rising long-term borrowing costs, reflecting a loss of investor confidence in its economic growth. Sternberg concludes that these major economies are too large for a traditional IMF bailout, implying they must address their fiscal challenges internally to avoid a financial crisis. 1115-1130 CONTINUED: #LONDONCALLING: @JOSEPHSTERNBERG @WSJOPINION Joseph Sternberg: Joseph Sternberg discusses the alarming speculation that the UK and France might require IMF bailouts due to their enormous debt piles and fiscal deficits, and a political inability to implement austerity measures.

He points to the Fed's expanded activities since 2008, including "subsidizing Wall Street," and alleged missteps that contributed to inflation and a problematic housing market. Cochrane argues for a more limited Fed, focused strictly on inflation, to preserve its independence and public trust, suggesting that its broadened scope jeopardizes its core mission and credibility. 1145-1200 CONTINUED:Professor John Cochrane: Professor John Cochrane addresses the fervent debate over the Federal Reserve's independence, with critics from both political extremes advocating for more accountability.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I welcome back Evan Feigenbaum, Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Evan served for many years as a State Department official, was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia and Central Asia among his numerous positions in government, and was instrumental in building the U.S.-India relationship after 2000 — only to watch Trump round on India in recent months, slapping large punitive tariffs on the South Asian giant ostensibly over its purchases of Russian oil. What motivated Trump? And how does this look from New Delhi and from Beijing? Will China capitalize on the strains in the U.S.-Indian relationship? Listen and find out.As this show is news pegged, I decided to release it as soon as I finished the edit, rather than wait for the transcript. I'll update this podcast page when the transcript comes back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
