Who are we Indians? Where did we come from? To tell us the story of our ancestry, journalist Tony Joseph goes 65,000 years into the past–when a band of Homo sapiens first made their way from Africa into the Indian subcontinent. These were the First Indians. Citing recent DNA evidence, he traces the subsequent large migrations of modern humans into India–of a people related to early farmers of Iran who mixed with the First Indians at the latest between 5400 BCE and 3700 BCE and of the ‘Arya’ between 2000 BCE and 1500 BCE, among others.

आजच्या स्पर्धेच्या फास्ट जगात आपण हरवून गेलो आहोत असं बरेचदा वाटतं. या वाटण्यातून निर्माण होते अस्वस्थता, निराशा. आणि त्यामुळे यश आपल्यापासून आणखी लांब पळतं. यश मिळवायला नक्की काय लागतं? यश मिळवायला बुद्धीमत्ता, सातत्य, मेहनत लागते हे खरंच आहे. पण हे यश पचवायचं आणि टिकवायचं असेल तर लागते भावनिक बुद्धीमत्ता. आणि भावनिक बुद्धीमत्तेचा महत्वाचा पैलू म्हणजे भावनांचा समतोल साधता येणं. तो साधायचा असेल तर आपल्याला आपला आतला आवाज ऐकू यायला हवा.

From Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders tap into this fear, with empty promises of looking out for the little guy and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries across the globe and the political spectrum. Political scientists Drache and Froese have turned original research into a compelling analysis of the rise of populism and reveal what it will take to douse the flames.

Tectonic secrets come to light, recasting alliances and rivalries.

Mandhakini Devi is abducted by ruffianly unknowns towards Thanjavur—while Poonguzhali, her niece, is hastening thither, to rescue her aunt.
