The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

India has one of the largest youth populations in the world, yet digital accessibility remains a challenge—only 54% of households have computers, and nearly 40% lack access to one. However, with 88% of the population using smartphones, mobile technology presents an opportunity to bridge this gap. In this episode, The Rise of Gen Z Girls in Tech , we sit down with Mayank , the visionary behind Coding Pro , to explore how AI-driven learning and innovative mobile applications are ensuring equal access to coding education for students, regardless of their background. We discuss the impact of social norms on STEM careers , the challenges of parental hesitation and cultural expectations , and how AI-powered tools are helping families embrace digital education.

We also explore Iraaj, India’s first humanoid robot , and its role in equipping students with real-world skills, as well as the emergence of AI-powered universities and Techno Schools that will redefine learning over the next decade.

Samfundet i Trondheim inviterer til møte om India. India er et av verdens mest mangfoldige og multietniske land. Når du tenker på India, tenker du kanskje på Tikka Masala og Butter Chicken. Det er kanskje ikke så rart, for vi hører generelt lite om India i media. Men visste du at India blir omtalt som verdens største demokrati? At India har passert Kina i befolkningstall? Og at landet har vært styrt av samme parti og statsminister siden 2014? Lørdag 7. september inviterte Samfundet til et dypdykk inn i indisk politikk, hvor vi tar for oss alt fra sosial ulikhet, til økende hindunasjonalisme og anti-muslimsk retorikk, til et demokrati, en religionsfrihet og en ytringsfrihet under press. For hva er det egentlig som rokker seg innad i verdens mest folkerike land? For å svare på dette har de invitert professor emeritus i samfunnsøkonomi og India-entusiast, Karl “Kalle” Moene, samt forfatter, grunnlegger av Det Moderne India, og tidligere ISFiT president, Rina Sunder. Samtalen var ledet av Borghild Rauø.…

Arendalsuka is over for this year! We are excited to share with our beloved listners our engaging debate at Arendalsuka through our podcast. The Nordic countries are renowned for their pristine nature and pure water, with Cleantech being a cornerstone of our societies. By combining advanced technology with effective water management, the Nordics have managed to maintain and restore some of the world's finest water resources. This year's debate centered on the topic: "India: The Potential of Recycling Water and Waste – Myth and Reality in Achieving a Circular Economy." Our goal was to explore and develop sustainable solutions for India’s water challenges by leveraging both Indian and Nordic knowledge and technology. We were fortunate to have an exceptional lineup of speakers and panelists who shared their insights and expertise on this critical topic. We also focused on Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects, particularly in waste management – an area ripe for conversation. Here are some of the key questions we explored: 1. What are India's ambitions within the circular economy, specifically in the waste and water sectors? 2. How do existing regulations and other policy instruments help bring India closer to achieving these ambitions, and are there areas that need adjustment? 3. How do we see Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects helping to advance India’s innovation and ambitions? We look forward to continuing this important dialogue and exploring how we can work together to create sustainable solutions!…

March 8th 🇳🇴💃🏼🇮🇳 Gender equality stands at the core of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2023, achieving gender parity will take another 131 years. As we approach 8 March, we're excited to shed light on the journey of Kristin Andresen and the inspiration behind her remarkable initiative, Sunder Rang. At the World Economic Forum, Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani emphasized the need to normalize conversations around women's challenges. India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made significant strides with the construction of 110 million toilets. Additionally, for the first time in our nation's history, there's a dedicated administrative protocol for menstrual hygiene management established by the central government. Gender equality remains one of the greatest human rights challenges of our time. Investing in women isn't just a moral imperative; it's a fundamental step towards building inclusive societies. Progress for women benefits us all. Listen to our special podcast episode on March 8th, where we delve deeper into these crucial conversations. Let's continue striving for a world where every woman and girl can thrive!…
