Episode 4: Pervez Hoodboy - Reasoning our way to Peace
17 mrt 2023· Ahimsa Conversations
Like apes we have territoriality built into us and we tend to get violent when our tribe is confronted with another tribe. But in the evolutionary process, cooperation effectively trumped competition.
Pervez Hoodboy, nuclear physicist and political activist, has built upon this knowledge to oppose nuclear weapons and to work for peace between India and Pakistan.
Though he is not entirely convinced about nonviolence, Pervez says nonviolence is a valid strategy when one party is very weak and cannot afford to start violence.
Listen to him on Episode 4 of the Ahimsa Conversations Podcast.

Episode 2 : Razia Patel - Your Fatwa Doesn't Apply Here!
5 feb 2022· Ahimsa Conversations
"अगर सौ लोग सांप्रदायिक दंगों में भाग लेते हैं, तो उन लोगों की तलाश करनी चाहिए जिन्होंने 'दूसरे' समुदाय के लोगों के जीवन को बचाने में मदद की, भले ही वे सिर्फ दो व्यक्ति ही क्यों न हों।"
रज़िया पटेल के सामाजिक और राजनीतिक ज्ञान को इसी ज्ञान से आकार मिला है, और ये उन्होंने अपनी मां से सीखा है।

Episode 20: Sachin Rao - What attracts political party workers to a retreat on Paths of Nonviolence?
17 sep 2021· Ahimsa Conversations

A former engineer and business consultant, Sachin is now a full-time worker of a major political party, the Indian National Congress.

Episode 19: Michael Nagler - De-escalation of tensions as a path to peace and nonviolence in modern America.
13 sep 2021· Ahimsa Conversations
In the exhaustive media coverage of the United States’ Presidential election, the American Shanti Sena (Peace Army) network hardly got a mention. That is because violence prevention is generally under-reported. Michael Nagler, veteran peace activist and educator, talks about what energizes grassroots efforts that make peace by de-escalating tensions and preventing violence. From the legacy of his guru Sri Eknath Easwaran to the work of groups like Nonviolent Peaceforce, Michael explains how a new story of human nature is taking shape and why nonviolence is the natural destiny of our species. He also talks about his documentary ‘The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature’.

Episode 18: Aruna Roy - Are both society and government giving the signal that it is okay to harm some kinds of people?
10 sep 2021· Ahimsa Conversations
Aruna Roy learnt early in life that anger and violence can be quite different. As a political activist she has applied this learning to her work in Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and in the Right to Information movement – leading campaigns based on civil disobedience and nonviolence. MKSS, which completes 30 years today -- May 1st 2020, has played a key role in the struggle to deepen democracy both at the village and national level in India. But today Roy is concerned that both society and government are giving the signal that it is okay to harm some kinds of people. When such a division is created the whole society is in danger of being destroyed. In this context, says Roy, the practice of nonviolence becomes even more vital. This requires greater resilience, courage and confidence in your principles. Only then can you demand justice by standing unarmed, before a heavily armed police force, knowing that you could be beaten or even killed. Roy’s life and work have shown this to be true.
