What's Your Story by Dr. Varun GandhiWhat's Your Story: Conversations on Men's Abuse on International Men's DayHi Storian!
Did you know that 1 in 4 men experience physical abuse? Or that 40% of Domestic Abuse victims are male?
We all know what happened to Johnny Depp. But our initial reaction was to doubt the man, to vilify the man, and ostracize him. The truth finally came out in a case that Depp ended up losing. This incident brought the issue to light and to me. Imagine how many men out there don't have the resources that Johnny has.
So today on International Men's Day, we are talking about Men's Abuse because not many p...

Sacred Cows and Clean MilkWhy I dont believe in social scienceIn today's episode, I tackle the question of why I don't believe in social science. In yesterday’s episode, I introduced you to eminent philosopher Roy Bhaskar. Today, I draw again from Roy’s book ‘From Science to Emancipation’. I do not believe in the ground on which I stand. It is there. I am standing on it. So why believe in social science?

Sacred Cows and Clean MilkShould we really be believing in social science?In this episode, I argue that social scientists would be wise to admit that although there is the social world in itself, scientists have no way to get at it except through talk. So, should we really be believing in social science? To answer this question, I introduce you to one of the most distinguished philosophers of the twenty first century: Roy Bhaskar.Image sourced from https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/burned-at-the-stake-for-believing-in-science

Sacred Cows and Clean MilkWhy does science have a bad name?If the natural system and the economic components can be explained by a small set of variables and critical processes, why does expert advice so often create crisis and contribute to political gridlock? In this episode, I explain why complex issues connected with the notion of sustainable development are not just ecological problems or economic or social ones but a combination of all three. In order for science to redeem itself, it needs to understand processes spanning metres to tens of thousands of kilo-meters over months and millennia.

Sacred Cows and Clean MilkWhy has the world not collapsed?Part of the reason why the world has not collapsed is that natural ecological systems have the resilience to experience wide change, and still maintain the integrity of their functions. The other part of the answer lies in human behaviour and creativity. In this episode, I highlight five myths surrounding the relationship between humans and nature. These myths take us on a journey from asking why the world has not yet collapsed to asking what it means to be alive at this time in history.

Cut to Scene!Episode 4 : SonchiriyaOur fourth episode was in fact recorded along with our first episode on Portrait of a Lady on Fire. We discuss Sonchiriya, written by Sudip Sharma and co-written and directed by Abhishek Chaubey. We talk about the storytelling element of foreshadowing which is used as an effective tool in this film, as well as the editing and sound design. We also disagree on a few things, like always.
We would also like to take a moment to remember Sushant Singh Rajput, who delivered a beautiful performance in this film. Rest in peace, Sushant.
