Are South Indians overlooked for the Padma Awards and national awards. The issue regained prominence following the death of legendary playback singer S. Janaki, who had declined the Padma Bhushan, arguing that the honour had come far too late in her career. She maintained that artists should be recognised when they are at the height of their creative powers rather than in old age or after their death. In explaining her decision, she also referred to the posthumous Padma award conferred on the celebrated singer P. Leela. A similar debate has long surrounded the Jnanpith Award, with critics arguing that several outstanding writers from South India have been overlooked despite their enduring contributions to Indian literature. Are these concerns justified? Is there a systemic imbalance in the way India's highest civilian and literary honours are conferred, or do the awards reflect the complexities of evaluating excellence across languages, regions and artistic traditions?

In the rich political landscape of Tamil Nadu, few movements have had as profound and enduring an impact as the Dravidian movement. Vignesh Rajahmani's The Dravidian Pathway (Hurst Publishers, 2025) offers a compelling and detailed account of how the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) transformed a powerful socio-cultural and anti-caste movement into a highly successful electoral political force. Focusing on the pivotal decades of the mid-20th century, Rajahmani traces the strategic leadership of key figures including Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, C.N. Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi, and others. The book explores how the DMK skilfully synthesised anti-caste ideology, demands for linguistic pride and Tamil identity, socioeconomic reforms, and educational mobility. This synthesis not only resonated deeply with marginalised communities but also enabled the party to translate ideological commitments into concrete welfare policies and political power. The Dravidian Pathway is particularly valuable for its nuanced examination of the transition from movement to party, shedding light on the organisational innovations — such as the spread of reading rooms (padippakams) — that helped build a robust Dravidian public sphere in the 1950s and 1960s. Rajahmani's work provides fresh insights into one of modern India's most distinctive and influential regional political traditions. This timely study is essential reading for anyone interested in South Indian politics, federalism, identity politics, and the enduring legacy of social justice movements in India.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we sit down with Andrew Flachs, associate professor of anthropology at Purdue University and author of two books that ask some of the most clarifying questions in food systems discourse: Cultivating Knowledge: Biotechnology, Sustainability, and the Human Cost of Cotton Capitalism in India and his most recent, Feeding the World as if People Mattered: How Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields. Andrew grew up in a small Pennsylvania town with a grandmother's garden he admittedly didn't love as a kid, and found his way into this work through a chance encounter with urban gardening research, a student meal cooperative, and an advisor who sent him to India at exactly the right moment. Andrew brings the kind of rigor to this conversation that comes from years in the field with farmers across three continents, combined with a willingness to question the assumptions baked into how we talk about food. Tune in to learn more about:How Andrew went from hating picking beans as a kid to becoming a leading anthropologist of food and agricultureWhy the fight to prove that small farms can match conventional yields is the wrong fight entirelyThe "iceberg economy" and all the care work, infrastructure, and labor that lies beneath the visible surface of our food systemWhat his research across the US Midwest, Bosnia, and South India revealed about what small farming families actually share across different contextsThe explosion of GM cotton seeds in India, from three brands in 2002 to over a thousand by 2012, and what that did to farmers' knowledge, livelihoods, and mortality ratesWhy farmers on organic cotton programs kept farming even when the economic math didn't add up, and what that reveals about what farming is actually forThe true costs of "cheap" food: what isn't being counted in environmental degradation, public health, labor exploitation, and soil lossWhy efficiency is often a trap, and how efficient technologies without systemic change just lead us to do more of the same harmful thingHow the current Farm Bill debate and the Iran war oil disruptions reveal the fragility of just-in-time global supply chainsWhat a resilient food system would require, and what we already know how to doBooks & Resources MentionedBy Andrew Flachs:Feeding the World as if People Mattered: How Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields(Use code AZFLR for 30% off.

Meet Our Guests: H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche was born in the Spiti valley, in India, in 1984. At the age of two, Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche II (1984 – present) pointed to the photo of the recently deceased Assistant Tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama and said, “That's me!” When he was about three years old he was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Kyabje Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche (1914-1983), who was one of the seven master debate partners to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Rinpoche began his Buddhist studies and training at Ganden Jangtse Monastery in South India. After deciding to continue his work for the Dharma as a lay person, he completed his education at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala. On the advice of the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche completed three years of intensive study of English in Canada. Rinpoche teaches at Dharma Centers around the world, combining his experience of the study and practice of Buddhism with his acquaintance with the Western world. His fascinating teachings are full of wisdom, grace, and humor. Rinpoche feels privileged to continue the responsibilities of Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche to teach and benefit people as much as he can. Atisha Mathur, Ph.D. Dr. Atisha Mathur was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Language and Literature of South Asia, with a focus on Tibetan studies, at the esteemed Orientale in Naples, Italy. His scholarly pursuits led him to the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Sarnath, India, where he was first immersed in the traditional approach to Buddhist studies.  Atisha then completed a rigorous 10-year study program at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala which emphasizes logic, debate, and the major Indian and Tibetan treatises. In 2024, he earned his doctoral degree in Buddhist Studies at L’Orientale in Naples, Italy.  Since 2019, Atisha has generously shared his expertise in logic and debate with groups of students from all over the world.

For eight years, he lived permanently with Kyabje Ribur Rinpoche, one of the great lamas of Tibet, serving as his translator and secretary.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Maya Tiwari reflects on a recent journey through South India, using the experience to discuss humanity's shift away from a restrictive "3D Matrix" toward a higher "5D frequency." She describes a massive cosmic upgrade to the human operating system, facilitated by galactic forces, which allows humanity to shed dualistic thinking, reclaim its sacred design, and step into a unified, enlightened state of consciousness.Key Talking Points & Themes1. Breaking Free from the Matrix and DualismThe "Matrix Weave": Tiwari describes the current societal system as an iron-clad matrix of darkness, rules, and divisionism that keeps the human mind ensnared.The Illusion of Separation: She opens up about her own recent internal struggles, realizing how dualistic thinking ("us vs. them") and the hidden ego can stunt our natural creative gifts, causing disease, decline, and despair.Surviving on "Smithereens": Despite these distortions, humanity has miraculously retained its sanity and created beauty, art, and joy from mere fragments of our original sacred design.2. Cosmic Recalibration via the Central SunSolar Transmissions: The Central Sun is rapidly increasing its solar output, sending heightened energetic frequencies, electromagnetic patterns, and adaptive radiation to Earth.Nervous System Upgrade: This influx of energy is actively altering human biology and emotion, forcing the nervous system to recalibrate, the heart portal to open, and the mind to unlearn false information.3. The Galactic Alliance and the 5D Operating SystemA Universal Effort: Highly advanced, enlightened universal forces—including the Galactic Federation of Light, Arcturians, Pleiadians, Andromedians, Sirians, and Lymans—have aligned to orchestrate this transition.Carbon to Light: At great peril to themselves, these forces are delivering a tech-vibrational upgrade to humanity's internal operating system, transitioning humans from carbon-based matrix prisoners to liberated, 5D Light Beings.4. Reclaiming the Role of the "Sorcerer"Tiwari urges individuals to move beyond being mere scholars of life and instead become sorcerers and magicians.For the first time in 26,000 years, humans are "frequency-armed" and capable of consciously weaving their own magical tapestries of grace, beauty, and compassion.Action Items & Practices for AscensionTiwari notes that this spiritual birthing process is "messy and gory," requiring deep commitment rather than tedium. To successfully anchor this new luminous operating system, she recommends the following daily practices:Vacuum the Mind: Actively clear away 3D mental clutter and detritus.The Violet Flame: Visualize a violet flame cleansing the container of the mind.Mindful Breathing: Maintain conscious awareness of your breath throughout the day.Share Vulnerability: Reach out to those who are lost and share personal struggles and clearing methods to help them feel less isolated.Simplify Meals: Align dietary choices with high-frequency light by practicing compassion and abstaining from eating animals.Contemplate and Bow: Create dedicated daily space for meditation, contemplation, and honoring the Divine Light.Final Takeaway: “We are the magician, the magic and the magical tapestry all woven into the One... Let us invite and embody this higher frequency and together strive to be the light to those struggling to find their way in darkness.”Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

This is the second gathering in SAND's ongoing series on AI and the human spirit — and it takes a deliberately different rhythm. Rather than asking "is AI safe?" or "will it take our jobs?", Tiokasin Ghosthorse and Pooja Prema invite us to slow down and ask the deeper questions: What cosmology is AI extending? What is intelligence, really? And what happens when the earth-based, organic, living intelligence of Indigenous and ancestral ways of knowing gets replaced by a synthetic one? A spacious, felt-sense conversation that asks us to remember what a living mind actually is.

Just outside Madurai, beneath the scorching southern sun, the excavations at Keeladi have unsettled long-held ideas about India's ancient history. Since its discovery in 2014, the site has emerged as one of the country's most contested digs: celebrated by some as evidence of a thriving urban civilisation in South India, and questioned by others as political mythmaking. In her book The Dig, journalist and author Sowmiya Ashok traces this journey from serendipitous find to cultural flashpoint, traveling from Iron Age Tamil Nadu to Harappan Rakhigarhi, revealing how battles over the past shape our understanding of India's layered identity today. Sowmiya will be joined by archaeometallurgist Dr. Sharada Srinivasan whose pioneering work has brought to light insights into ancient mining and metallurgy, having also worked on Iron Age-Early Historic sites especially in Tamil Nadu. They will be in conversation with Pooja Prasanna, of The News Minute. Together they will explore how archaeology, science, and power intersect: revealing an ancient diversity that continues to shape contemporary India. In this episode of BIC Talks, Sowmiya Ashok and Sharada Srinivasan will be in conversation with Pooja Prasanna. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Jan 2026.

In this episode, we perceive a moment of clarity at the end of a dilemma, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 245, penned by Madurai Maruthan Ilanaakanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse presents surprising details about a particular animal in this domain. ‘உயிரினும் சிறந்த ஒண் பொருள் தருமார்நன்று புரி காட்சியர் சென்றனர், அவர்’ எனமனை வலித்து ஒழியும் மதுகையள் ஆதல்நீ நற்கு அறிந்தனைஆயின், நீங்கி,மழை பெயல் மறந்த கழை திரங்கு இயவில்,செல் சாத்து எறியும் பண்பு இல் வாழ்க்கைவல் வில் இளையர் தலைவர், எல் உற,வரி கிளர் பணைத் தோள், வயிறு அணி திதலை,அரியலாட்டியர் அல்கு மனை வரைப்பில்,மகிழ் நொடை பெறாஅராகி, நனை கவுள்கான யானை வெண் கோடு சுட்டி,மன்று ஓடு புதல்வன் புன் தலை நீவும்அரு முனைப் பாக்கத்து அல்கி, வைகுற,நிழல் படக் கவின்ற நீள்அரை இலவத்துஅழல் அகைந்தன்ன அலங்குசினை ஒண் பூக்குழல் இசைத் தும்பி ஆர்க்கும் ஆங்கண்,குறும் பொறை உணங்கும் ததர் வெள் என்புகடுங் கால் ஒட்டகத்து அல்கு பசி தீர்க்கும்கல் நெடுங் கவலைய கானம் நீந்தி,அம் மா அரிவை ஒழிய,சென்மோ நெஞ்சம்! வாரலென் யானே. In this trip to this harsh domain, we get to glimpse at many unique sights, as we listen to the man say these words to his heart: “If you know very well that she has the strength to say, ‘Wishing to bring back that radiant thing, which has more worth than life, having the wisdom to do the right things, he has left', and remain at home, then, parting away, you may go, O heart, to those spaces, which the rains have forsaken and where dried bamboos abound. And here, attacking merchants, who tread these paths, those men with sturdy bows live a life lacking culture. When night falls, their leader reaches the gates of homes, which belong to maiden, with thick bamboo-like arms having radiant lines, and bellies with beauty spots many, who sell filtered toddy. Not finding that drink of ecstasy, he would return home, and pointing to the white tusk, which had come from a wild elephant with moistened cheeks, he would caress the coarse-haired head of his son, playing around the house. In such a wild community, stay the night, and leave by morning, to those places, where upon the swaying branches of the silk-cotton tree, with a thick trunk, one which renders an exquisite shade, radiant flowers bloom, akin to flames fluttering, and bees buzz around like flutes. Nearby upon a short boulder, lies drying white bones, which satisfies the deep hunger of camels with fast legs. Traversing these stony, long paths in the scrub jungle, leaving that beautiful, dark-skinned maiden here, you may go, O heart! I shan't come!” Let’s walk on and explore those barren spaces! The man starts with an ‘if clause’ to his heart. He tells his heart, ‘If you know one thing for sure, you may leave, and that is if you know the lady has the ability to remain at home and understand the logic and importance of the journey to be taken in search of wealth’. Then, he launches into a description of the place where he is asking his heart to leave, and to do that, he focuses on the denizens of the said place. First, we catch a glimpse of merchants walking here and then robbers attacking them. The man decides to zoom on the leader of this rowdy gang and follows him as he walks in the late evening hour, towards the home of toddy sellers, who happen to be women with bamboo-like arms and beautiful bellies. Here’s a subtle indicator that women had a hand in handling trade in those times.  Returning, we learn that all that toddy is sold out and the man returns home, and he points to the white tusk, which he had taken for the barter, which had come from an elephant in musth, and caresses the head of his young son, as a way of inspiring the lad to aim for great things in life, like hunting down an elephant. Leaving aside the animal rights implications, let’s just appreciate this moment of bonding between a robber father and his son. The man had been telling this story only to predict that the heart would end up staying in such a community, and then in the morning, it would leave to a place, where silk-cotton trees were in full bloom, and their flowers would appear like spots of flames atop the branches. When we are delighting, ‘Oh! What a pretty sight!’, the man turns our attention to some white bones lying scattered on nearby rocks. Remember how some merchants got attacked in the beginning of this tale? Perhaps all the scavengers have had their fill and only the drying, white bones of those dead merchants are left. Now the man talks about something fascinating. He says a camel would come that way and feed on those bones to allay its burning hunger. Here lies not one but two things that stunned me no end! My first question was, ‘What is a camel doing in South India?’. Next question, okay maybe there’s some reason that there are camels, but aren’t they herbivores and why is this verse saying they are eating bones? Surely the Sangam folk must have got their animals mixed up! Turns out they have not! Though it’s true that camels are not native to Tamil land, it shows evidence of trade with other regions, and it seems like a sound idea of those merchants to bring this animal with steady legs for their journeys through the drylands. Next, coming to the bones, I learnt that camels do eat bones and assorted other things like leather and skin, whenever their calcium and phosphorus levels dip down. Apparently, it’s a phenomenon called ‘osteophagia’. As it is these animals are wandering about desert landscapes and guess it makes sense that these animals have to make do with what they get and not be strict about their vegan diets!  Back from our consorting with camels, we see that the man has been talking to his heart, asking it to leave to such arid landscapes, leaving the lady, and concluding that he was not planning on accompanying his heart. In essence, a clear decision in favour of staying at home, against the nudge of his heart, which was pushing him to part with the lady. This is yet another case of the man separating his heart from himself! What is the heart if not a part in the man’s mind, which was provoking him to choose a different path? This demarcation of the man and his heart in two thousand year old poem makes me connect the same principle to modern psychological techniques like ‘Internal Family Systems’, which ask the ‘Self’ in the mind to separate from the emotional parts to truly understand what’s going on in the psyche! A valuable lesson in dealing with dilemmas, as sensed intuitively by our ancestors with their deep understanding of the human mind!  

This episode explores the realities, challenges, and strength of women in South India, connecting current affairs with lived experiences. It highlights issues of safety, identity, culture, and empowerment while recognising the everyday resilience of women. Through reflection and discussion, the program amplifies voices that are often unheard and celebrates women as agents of change.

Religion, Spirituality and Public Health: Competing and Complementary Epistemes (British Academy, 2025) focuses on exploring the role of different 'ways of knowing' or arriving at truth, i.e. epistemes, particularly those found in religious and alternative health milieus. While biomedical solutions offer a dominant narrative, these are articulated differently in global contexts. Moreover, individuals often draw upon alternative framings that are sometimes oppositional to and at other times engaged with directives from medical and governmental authorities. The focus of this volume is worldviews and epistemes that are often marginalised or rejected in dominant discourses -- from shamanism in Korea to African Pentecostalism in Britain, and from global online 'AntiVax' narratives to traditional Siddha medicine in South India. Detailed case studies explore the contested, competing and strategically aligned relationships between mainstream and marginal epistemes; between religious healing, spirituality and biomedicine; and between politics and belief. These explorations promote greater insight into how marginalised religious epistemes are employed. Which beliefs and practices are drawn upon to create meaningful and effective responses? And how can we better understand the depth and breadth of these reactions to design more successful public health strategies for future global health crises?

In this episode, we perceive the wonder in a mother’s heart, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 207, penned by Madurai Ezhuthaalan Senthampoothanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse portrays the formidable nature of this domain. அணங்குடை முந்நீர் பரந்த செறுவின்உணங்கு திறம் பெயர்ந்த வெண் கல் அமிழ்தம்குட புல மருங்கின் உய்ம்மார், புள் ஓர்த்துப்படை அமைத்து எழுந்த பெருஞ் செய் ஆடவர்நிரைப் பரப் பொறைய நரைப் புறக் கழுதைக்குறைக் குளம்பு உதைத்த கல் பிறழ் இயவின்,வெஞ் சுரம் போழ்ந்த, அஞ்சுவரு கவலை,மிஞிறு ஆர் கடாஅம் கரந்து விடு கவுள,வெயில் தின வருந்திய, நீடு மருப்பு ஒருத்தல்பிணர் அழி பெருங் கை புரண்ட கூவல்தெண் கண் உவரிக் குறைக் குட முகவை,அறனிலாளன் தோண்ட, வெய்து உயிர்த்து,பிறைநுதல் வியர்ப்ப, உண்டனள்கொல்லோதேம் கலந்து அளைஇய தீம் பால் ஏந்திக்கூழை உளர்ந்து மோழைமை கூறவும்,மறுத்த சொல்லள் ஆகி,வெறுத்த உள்ளமொடு உண்ணாதோளே? In this trip to the drylands, we get to hear mother say these words, at a time when her daughter had eloped away with the man: “In fields that spread near divine seas, flourishes that elixir of white salt with a well-dried texture. Gathering these and intending to take it to regions in the west, biding their time for the right bird omens, organising into groups, men of efficient action traverse along with their donkeys, laden with sacks of salt on the beasts’ white backs, and tread along the stony paths, with pebbles scattered by worn-out hooves of these beasts. Through the same formidable paths in the scorching drylands, treads a male elephant, with long tusks and musth-flowing cheeks, swarming with bees, distressed by the heat, and searches for water, amidst a pit with its long and coarse trunk. From this very pit, digging up brackish water that fills only half a cup, that graceless man, renders unto her. Letting out a hot sigh, as her crescent-moon-like forehead sweats, did she drink that up? When I used to offer honey-infused sweet milk, caressing her tresses and speaking sweet words, she would say ‘no' and with dislike in her heart, would never drink that up. How could she do this now?” Let’s brave those scorching spaces once again and know more! Mother starts by describing salt fields near the shore, talking about how people there harvest this much sought-after elixir. Then, she describes these harvesters of salt are not content in keeping their produce for themselves, and wish to take it to regions in the west… this line tells us the salt-making is happening on the eastern coast of present-day South India, near the Bay of Bengal. The vehicles these men use for their journey are donkeys and the backs of these donkeys are heavily laden with sacks of salt, mother describes, and she zooms on to the worn-out hooves of these beasts of burden, and the pebbles they scatter on the stony paths. Mother ends this scene here and after an interval of time, on that same pebble-scattered, stony path, we see heavy footprints of an elephant in musth, running crazily in search of water, roving here and there, and locating a pit, it tries to gather the salty water from there. Once more, this scene with the elephant goes curtain down, and after some time, we see the man digging up the same pit to find some water for his beloved. Now mother concludes by asking how the lady was able to drink this foul liquid, adding that this girl was someone, who would refuse to drink even a portion of honeyed milk, offered with tender care and sweet words by her!  Yet again, it’s that awe that strikes many a mother, when their children seem to grow up and do never-before things independently, why because, a part of their mind will always be etched with the memory of that helpless being they held so protectively in their arms, a while ago!

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has also cited the Cāturmāsya-māhātmya of the Skanda Purāṇa concerning the necessity of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa in this age: tathā caivottamaṁ loke tapaḥ śrī-hari-kīrtanam kalau yuge viśeṣeṇa viṣṇu-prītyai samācaret “In this way the most perfect penance to be executed in this world is the chanting of the name of Lord Śrī Hari. Especially in the Age of Kali, one can satisfy the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu by performing saṅkīrtana.” (Purport, SB 12.3.52) To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #kirtan #spiritualmusic #spiritualsongs #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the saṅkīrtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe. Please try to understand this so that others will take it seriously.
