Friends,
This weekend we talk about urban design, which affects all of us, even those of us who don’t live in busy metropolitan areas. We will discuss how everyday public spaces are created, and human resilience, and what happens when urban interventions by the state can be counter to the interests and desires of city dwellers.

As we in India wilt in a scorching summer, it seemed like a good time to discuss water.
We’re certainly seeing many of our metropolises scraping the bottom of the barrel, and drought and its fallout have always been a looming threat in the heartland.
This weekend, we chat with two people who have spent their careers working on water issues. Biplab will look at current realities, particularly at rural India, and Anu will look ahead at what the current science tells us India’s water future may look like.
Biplab has been a development innovator for 32 years, and has pioneered Bhungroo, a technology repurposing floodwater to combat drought, which has aided over 250,000 ultra-poor farming families across India, southeast Asia, east Asia, and Africa, aligning with the UN SDGs 1, 2, 5, and 13. Through Naireeta Services, he empowers women farmers to become climate leaders, promoting crop income doubling and disaster risk-reduction. Rooted in Gandhi’s antyodaya principle, this model has gained global recognition. He has received 32 global awards, serves as a mentor at IIT Kanpur’s incubation centre, and is a director of Gujarat’s Ecology Commission.
Anu is a two-time Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneur, a Y Combinator alumnus (Summer 2017), and a TED Institute speaker. She has spent her career trying to understand and solve water issues in India.

This Sunday, we park at the intersection of the arts and marginalisation. We talk with a practitioner of an ancient art form rooted in India, and a much newer one that Indians have made their own.

We start in about 35 minutes, folks.
This Sunday, in The Arts, we talk about translation.
India has 22 ‘scheduled’ languages, 123 major languages (as per the 2011 Census), and upwards of 780 languages as per the People's Linguistic Survey of India, and, if one included dialects, the number is in the thousands. We can transact and communicate with link languages like Hindi and English, but that doesn’t really help us grasp the world view and culture of our fellow citizens. That’s where expert translators come in, giving us not just word-by-word renderings that we could pull up on our phones, but also bringing us flavour, nuance, context.
We chat with two veterans of literary translation, learning from them why their field matters.
