For earth’s sake: soil health is human health by Sultan Ahmed Ismail

The dynamic nature of a soil is due to the tremendous activity of micro and macro organisms supported by availability of organic matter. It is this life in the soil that lends its name to the soil as living soil. A vast number of organisms engineer a myriad of biochemical changes as the decay of organic matter takes place in the soil. Among the organisms, which contribute to soil health, the most important are the earthworms. Based on continuous research on earthworms made me write “earthworms are the pulse of the soil, healthier the pulse, healthier the soil”.

The soil is a living dynamic system whose functions are mediated by diverse living organisms which in agriculture requires proper management and conservation. Unfortunately, in today’s chemical agriculture, importance is shown on soil fertility and not on the holistic soil health which provides an integrated sustainable mechanism to the soil to sustain its “living” fabric of nature.
Prof. Sultan Ismail will talk about the myriad of soil organisms, earthworms are one of the most vital components of the soil biota in terms of soil formation and maintenance of soil structure and fertility.

About Sultan Ahmed Ismail: Sultan Ahmed Ismail is an Indian soil biologist and ecologist. His work has centred on techniques for recycling biodegradable waste into fertilizer using local varieties of earthworms, and on soil bioremediation.

Ismail received a D.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Madras in 2001 for his research on the role of earthworms in soil ecology and waste management. He is also the Managing Director of the Ecoscience Research Foundation.

Secular Hindustani Poetry&Music

Secular and Traditional Hindustani Music and Poetry by Prof Subendu Ghosh

Prof. Subendu Ghosh takes us on a musical journey through India’s secular traditions of Amir Khusro, Kabir, Tansen, Bulle Shah, Lalan Faqeer, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Tagore, Faiz, Ramprasad Bismil and others. Composed and sung by Subendu, this is a performance of sheer breadth of traditions covered in an evening.

This is a presentation to remind ourselves as we pass through a difficult period of communal tensions and violence, about India’s secular commitment. The people of India have lived in peace and harmony over the ages. Despite differences in religions, they have all contributed to build a very rich and composite culture, and this is beautifully reflected in our literature and music.
This programme is a musical journey through India’s traditions of secular poetry, in a historical order beginning from the 13th century to the present day. Most of the music is composed and sung by Dr. Subhendu Ghosh and is based on Hindustani ragas or other musical forms including the traditional folk songs. The narrative includes a number of historical personalities like Hazrat Amir Khusro, Kabir, Mian Taan Sen, Bulle Shah, Lalan Faqir, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Ramprasad Bismil, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Rabindranath Tagore.
This is a small effort to highlight the poetic genius of our Indian poets and pay our tribute to those who dedicated their lives to a Secular India.

Prarambh - 3 short plays
Fri Mar 23, 8:00 PM
Kissago
A collection of 3 short plays

"Hawalalat" Written By Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena, Directed by Subhash GuptaHawalaat’, revolves around the story of three youth who have no place since nobody was ready to offer them the shelter and they thought it proper to have the same in a police lock-up. For this they approached a police cop as criminals. In the beginning the cop is not ready to believe in them and asks them to establish their credentials by demonstrating their expertise and past accomplishments in the word of crime. To avoid them, the cop agrees to take them to the lock-up (Hawalaat) after tying their eyes. On the way they talk about political, ideological and social aspects of life and try to explain to the policemen how, like them he is also a mere pawn in the larger system, but he is not convinced. Instead of taking them the police station, the cop keeps them moving at one cross satire on the exploitation of the youth by the people sitting at the helm of affairs. The cop symbolizes the politicians of this country who have been be fooling the youth since Independence. In a highly intellectual manner the playwright has tried to expose the exploitation of the most energetic age group of the country.

"Marnoprant" written by Surendera Verma, directed by Jay Jha revolves around a triangular love story. The playwright unfolds the whole episode after the death of a young lady whose husband and the lover meet for the first time. Their encounter reveals the minute intricacies of man-woman relations and frustrations of extra marital affairs. Both embarrass each other by revealing the intimate moments they shared with the young lady. The dramatic action becomes even more interesting when it is shown that the husband comes to know about the relation after the death of his wife.

"Banerjee Babu", Written by Avinash Matta, Directed by Jay Jha - Nobody loves him, nobody cares for him. They only remember him when they need him to do some work. He is lonely. All he needs is a hug. Will you give it to him?

Cast : Jay Jha, Abhijeet Deshpande, Shailja Chaturvedi, Harshit Maheshwari, Bob Christo, Yaseen Sarwat, Gnandeep Patlola, Rohit Chouhan

On the occasion of Bhagat Singh's Death Anniversary, Lamakaan and Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika cordially invite one and all to an important discussion on the relevance of Bhagat Singh today.

Bhagat Singh was born in Punjab, India (now Pakistan), on September 27, 1907, to a Sikh family deeply involved in political activities.

A talk series on "CASTE" DAY1
Tue Mar 27, 6:30 PM
IN DEFENSE OF REASON
Indian society continues to be characterized by the barbaric caste system even in 21st century. In times of fascism, caste question has emerged on the national agenda with a renewed emphasis as evident in the wake of some recent incidents such as the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula, Una episode and Bhima Koregaon violence. However, the nature of caste system in modern capitalist era is not the same as the one that prevailed in feudal medieval India or in pre-feudal ancient India. As against the widespread belief, caste system has not remained static throughout history. There have been both temporal and spatial variations. The caste structure in south India is not exactly same as that in north India. The relation between caste and class has also evolved over a period of time. These complexities need to be grasped in order to move towards annihilation of caste. Without having a concrete understanding of the origin, evolution and spatio-temporal variations of caste, no project of annihilation of caste can be devised. Also, it is important to have a critical look at the efforts made in the past towards the annihilation of caste including the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar and the communist movement. It is because of this reason that Lamakaan is conducting an extensive 3-day long talk series on “Caste: origin, evolution and proposed program for its annihilation”. The talk will be delivered by Abhinav Sinha who is a Marxist theorist and activist. Abhinav has carried out extensive research and study on caste system. The sessions would be organized as follows:

Day 1. Origin and evolution of caste

Day 2. Critical appraisal of the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar

Day 3. Marxism and caste question

On each day, the talk will be followed by an interactive session.

What’s (Really) Up?

Making sense of breaking (and faking) news in a digital world



A WORKSHOP, April 1, 2018



We swipe, click, switch, flip and surf, following updates, checking alerts and reading forwarded messages. News is everywhere, on every device, all the time. In this hyper-connected news environment, it can be difficult to figure out what is true and what is simply hype, what is fact and what is opinion.



This two-hour interactive workshopwill explore the dynamics of news production, and offer some ideas and tools to sift through the clutter and get to the real stuff. Using current examples and experiences, we will try to answer these and other questions—



1. How do the news media really work?

2. Who (and what) decides what’s news?

3. How do we tell the difference between fact and opinion?

4. What goes into the making of a good news story and how can we identify it?

5. What ethical concerns about the news media should we have as citizens?

6. What alternatives do we have to the big media?



The 2-hour workshop to be conducted by Professors Vinod Pavarala, Usha Raman, and Kanchan K. Malik from the Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad is directed toward college and high school students and young professionals.

Let's Say Thank You 2 Nirav Modi
Sun Apr 8, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan Programming Team
Vivak Kaul, who is the author of the Easy Money trilogy, a series of three books on the history of money and banking, and how that caused the financial crisis that started in 2008.

Will talk about how Nirav Modi's fraud has brought the mess that prevails at India's public sector banks to national attention, and which is a great thing.
Despite this national attention, the right questions are not being asked and the right discussions are not happening.

The fundamental question is what caused the massive mess at India's public sector banks?
What caused the total bad loans of these banks to amount to a humongous Rs 8 lakh crore?
And how should this crisis be handled, if at all it can be handled now.
Also, what can be done to prevent a repeat in the days to come.

Vivek Kaul was born and brought up in Ranchi. He ran with the herd to do an MBA from what is now called the Symbiosis University, only to realise that it had been a waste of time. He then ended up in a PhD programme, right here in Hyderabad, only to drop out of it three years later. Like many other confused souls, he landed up in journalism and found his true calling in reading, writing and being lazy. He has worked at senior positions with the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) and The Economic Times, in the past.

Currently, Vivek writes an eponymous Diary and a Letter for equitymaster.com.
His writing has also appeared in The Times of India, The Hindu, The Hindu Business Line, Business World, Business Today, India Today, Mid-Day, Business Standard, Forbes India, Deccan Chronicle, Deccan Herald, Bangalore Mirror, Mumbai Mirror, The Asian Age, Mutual Fund Insight, Dainik Jagran, Outlook Hindi, Swarajya and so on.

Is SC not diluting SC/ST Act?
Thu Apr 12, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan Programming Team
“The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.” – BR Ambedkar

In a recent verdict, the Supreme Court's ruling on the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 has invited a lot of criticism. According to the Apex court's directive, coercive action against public servants, accused of hostility towards the lower caste, can only be taken with written permission from the competent authority. For private citizens accused of a similar crime, an arrest can be made only after the Senior Superintendent of Police allows it. The reason iterated by the court is'abuse of law' and issued guidelines to this effect that false complaints to implicate innocent people have often been filed to promote caste hatred and 'perpetuate casteism.'

On one hand, there is growing atrocities and violence against Dalits and Adivasis across India and on the other hand such rulings by the Apex court delay justice to the victims of the caste. Is Supreme Court not diluting the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act?

Come for an informal Addabaazi charcha on this burning topic.

The discussion will be moderated by Jeevan Kumar, Human Right Forum Hyderabad

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

For earth’s sake: soil health is human health by Sultan Ahmed Ismail

The dynamic nature of a soil is due to the tremendous activity of micro and macro organisms supported by availability of organic matter. It is this life in the soil that lends its name to the soil as living soil. A vast number of organisms engineer a myriad of biochemical changes as the decay of organic matter takes place in the soil. Among the organisms, which contribute to soil health, the most important are the earthworms. Based on continuous research on earthworms made me write “earthworms are the pulse of the soil, healthier the pulse, healthier the soil”.

The soil is a living dynamic system whose functions are mediated by diverse living organisms which in agriculture requires proper management and conservation. Unfortunately, in today’s chemical agriculture, importance is shown on soil fertility and not on the holistic soil health which provides an integrated sustainable mechanism to the soil to sustain its “living” fabric of nature.
Prof. Sultan Ismail will talk about the myriad of soil organisms, earthworms are one of the most vital components of the soil biota in terms of soil formation and maintenance of soil structure and fertility.

About Sultan Ahmed Ismail: Sultan Ahmed Ismail is an Indian soil biologist and ecologist. His work has centred on techniques for recycling biodegradable waste into fertilizer using local varieties of earthworms, and on soil bioremediation.

Ismail received a D.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Madras in 2001 for his research on the role of earthworms in soil ecology and waste management. He is also the Managing Director of the Ecoscience Research Foundation.

Secular and Traditional Hindustani Music and Poetry by Prof Subendu Ghosh

Prof. Subendu Ghosh takes us on a musical journey through India’s secular traditions of Amir Khusro, Kabir, Tansen, Bulle Shah, Lalan Faqeer, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Tagore, Faiz, Ramprasad Bismil and others. Composed and sung by Subendu, this is a performance of sheer breadth of traditions covered in an evening.

This is a presentation to remind ourselves as we pass through a difficult period of communal tensions and violence, about India’s secular commitment. The people of India have lived in peace and harmony over the ages. Despite differences in religions, they have all contributed to build a very rich and composite culture, and this is beautifully reflected in our literature and music.
This programme is a musical journey through India’s traditions of secular poetry, in a historical order beginning from the 13th century to the present day. Most of the music is composed and sung by Dr. Subhendu Ghosh and is based on Hindustani ragas or other musical forms including the traditional folk songs. The narrative includes a number of historical personalities like Hazrat Amir Khusro, Kabir, Mian Taan Sen, Bulle Shah, Lalan Faqir, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Ramprasad Bismil, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Rabindranath Tagore.
This is a small effort to highlight the poetic genius of our Indian poets and pay our tribute to those who dedicated their lives to a Secular India.

Prarambh - 3 short plays
Fri Mar 23, 8:00 PM
Kissago
A collection of 3 short plays

"Hawalalat" Written By Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena, Directed by Subhash GuptaHawalaat’, revolves around the story of three youth who have no place since nobody was ready to offer them the shelter and they thought it proper to have the same in a police lock-up. For this they approached a police cop as criminals. In the beginning the cop is not ready to believe in them and asks them to establish their credentials by demonstrating their expertise and past accomplishments in the word of crime. To avoid them, the cop agrees to take them to the lock-up (Hawalaat) after tying their eyes. On the way they talk about political, ideological and social aspects of life and try to explain to the policemen how, like them he is also a mere pawn in the larger system, but he is not convinced. Instead of taking them the police station, the cop keeps them moving at one cross satire on the exploitation of the youth by the people sitting at the helm of affairs. The cop symbolizes the politicians of this country who have been be fooling the youth since Independence. In a highly intellectual manner the playwright has tried to expose the exploitation of the most energetic age group of the country.

"Marnoprant" written by Surendera Verma, directed by Jay Jha revolves around a triangular love story. The playwright unfolds the whole episode after the death of a young lady whose husband and the lover meet for the first time. Their encounter reveals the minute intricacies of man-woman relations and frustrations of extra marital affairs. Both embarrass each other by revealing the intimate moments they shared with the young lady. The dramatic action becomes even more interesting when it is shown that the husband comes to know about the relation after the death of his wife.

"Banerjee Babu", Written by Avinash Matta, Directed by Jay Jha - Nobody loves him, nobody cares for him. They only remember him when they need him to do some work. He is lonely. All he needs is a hug. Will you give it to him?

Cast : Jay Jha, Abhijeet Deshpande, Shailja Chaturvedi, Harshit Maheshwari, Bob Christo, Yaseen Sarwat, Gnandeep Patlola, Rohit Chouhan

On the occasion of Bhagat Singh's Death Anniversary, Lamakaan and Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika cordially invite one and all to an important discussion on the relevance of Bhagat Singh today. With the fascists forces gaining political power and spreading like a virus in the country, it becomes all the more necessary to recollect the sacrifice and message of Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

Bhagat Singh was born in Punjab, India (now Pakistan), on September 27, 1907, to a Sikh family deeply involved in political activities. He quit school at thirteen to devote his life to Indian independence. He became involved in several violent demonstrations of political defiance and was arrested several times. Singh was found guilty of killing a British police officer and hanged on March 23, 1931.

A talk series on "CASTE" DAY1
Tue Mar 27, 6:30 PM
IN DEFENSE OF REASON
Indian society continues to be characterized by the barbaric caste system even in 21st century. In times of fascism, caste question has emerged on the national agenda with a renewed emphasis as evident in the wake of some recent incidents such as the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula, Una episode and Bhima Koregaon violence. However, the nature of caste system in modern capitalist era is not the same as the one that prevailed in feudal medieval India or in pre-feudal ancient India. As against the widespread belief, caste system has not remained static throughout history. There have been both temporal and spatial variations. The caste structure in south India is not exactly same as that in north India. The relation between caste and class has also evolved over a period of time. These complexities need to be grasped in order to move towards annihilation of caste. Without having a concrete understanding of the origin, evolution and spatio-temporal variations of caste, no project of annihilation of caste can be devised. Also, it is important to have a critical look at the efforts made in the past towards the annihilation of caste including the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar and the communist movement. It is because of this reason that Lamakaan is conducting an extensive 3-day long talk series on “Caste: origin, evolution and proposed program for its annihilation”. The talk will be delivered by Abhinav Sinha who is a Marxist theorist and activist. Abhinav has carried out extensive research and study on caste system. The sessions would be organized as follows:

Day 1. Origin and evolution of caste

Day 2. Critical appraisal of the anti-caste movements of Ayyankali, Phule, Periyar, Ambedkar

Day 3. Marxism and caste question

On each day, the talk will be followed by an interactive session.

What’s (Really) Up?

Making sense of breaking (and faking) news in a digital world



A WORKSHOP, April 1, 2018



We swipe, click, switch, flip and surf, following updates, checking alerts and reading forwarded messages. News is everywhere, on every device, all the time. In this hyper-connected news environment, it can be difficult to figure out what is true and what is simply hype, what is fact and what is opinion.



This two-hour interactive workshopwill explore the dynamics of news production, and offer some ideas and tools to sift through the clutter and get to the real stuff. Using current examples and experiences, we will try to answer these and other questions—

Let's Say Thank You 2 Nirav Modi
Sun Apr 8, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan Programming Team
Vivak Kaul, who is the author of the Easy Money trilogy, a series of three books on the history of money and banking, and how that caused the financial crisis that started in 2008.

Will talk about how Nirav Modi's fraud has brought the mess that prevails at India's public sector banks to national attention, and which is a great thing.
Despite this national attention, the right questions are not being asked and the right discussions are not happening.

The fundamental question is what caused the massive mess at India's public sector banks?
What caused the total bad loans of these banks to amount to a humongous Rs 8 lakh crore?
And how should this crisis be handled, if at all it can be handled now.
Also, what can be done to prevent a repeat in the days to come.

Vivek Kaul was born and brought up in Ranchi. He ran with the herd to do an MBA from what is now called the Symbiosis University, only to realise that it had been a waste of time. He then ended up in a PhD programme, right here in Hyderabad, only to drop out of it three years later. Like many other confused souls, he landed up in journalism and found his true calling in reading, writing and being lazy. He has worked at senior positions with the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) and The Economic Times, in the past.

Currently, Vivek writes an eponymous Diary and a Letter for equitymaster.com.
His writing has also appeared in The Times of India, The Hindu, The Hindu Business Line, Business World, Business Today, India Today, Mid-Day, Business Standard, Forbes India, Deccan Chronicle, Deccan Herald, Bangalore Mirror, Mumbai Mirror, The Asian Age, Mutual Fund Insight, Dainik Jagran, Outlook Hindi, Swarajya and so on.

Free entry open for all.

Is SC not diluting SC/ST Act?
Thu Apr 12, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan Programming Team
“The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.” – BR Ambedkar

In a recent verdict, the Supreme Court's ruling on the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 has invited a lot of criticism. According to the Apex court's directive, coercive action against public servants, accused of hostility towards the lower caste, can only be taken with written permission from the competent authority. For private citizens accused of a similar crime, an arrest can be made only after the Senior Superintendent of Police allows it. The reason iterated by the court is'abuse of law' and issued guidelines to this effect that false complaints to implicate innocent people have often been filed to promote caste hatred and 'perpetuate casteism.'

On one hand, there is growing atrocities and violence against Dalits and Adivasis across India and on the other hand such rulings by the Apex court delay justice to the victims of the caste. Is Supreme Court not diluting the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act?

Come for an informal Addabaazi charcha on this burning topic.

The discussion will be moderated by Jeevan Kumar, Human Right Forum Hyderabad

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!
