मानसून सिर्फ एक ऋतु नहीं, यह भारत की धड़कन है हमारी कृषि व्यवस्था की रीढ़ है, इकोलॉजी के रंगों का स्कैच है ! 🌧️🍃
प्रख्यात लेखक स्टीफन ऑल्टर के साथ यह विशेष बातचीत मानसून के उन्हीं विविध रंगों को समेटे हुए है—इतिहास से लेकर भूगोल तक, और विज्ञान से लेकर साहित्य तक।
क्या हमारी आने वाली पीढ़ियां भी मानसून की उस 'सौंधी महक' को महसूस कर पाएंगी, जिसे हमने जिया है? बदलते मौसम और बिगड़ते पर्यावरण के दौर में, यह चर्चा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।

मॉनसून सिर्फ एक मौसम नहीं, बल्कि रंगों और भावनाओं का एक महासागर है—कहीं यह जीवनदायिनी बारिश है, तो कहीं इतिहास और संस्कृति का वाहक। 🌧️
इस बार 'Eco N Energy Talk' के एक बेहद खास एपिसोड में, मेरे साथ हैं प्रख्यात लेखक स्टीफन ऑल्टर (Stephen Alter) अपनी नई किताब 'The Fragrance of Rain' के माध्यम से, हमने मॉनसून के उन सभी रंगों को समझने की कोशिश की है जो हमारे अस्तित्व को गहराई से प्रभावित करते हैं।

HT Editorial on CBSE's OSM system: 'A textbook case of failure': "..CBSE’s priorities: managing perceptions of the failure, not addressing it...It is hard not to conclude that this is what the education bureaucracy optimises for: The announcement, not the outcome"
15 sociologists who understood society before society understood itself:
1. Karl Marx : the system does not just exploit your labor, it shapes your desires too so that you never stop labouring
2. Max Weber : modern life while chasing systematic existence traps people inside invisible cages called rules, efficiency, and routine
3. Émile Durkheim : loneliness is not personal failure, it is what happens when society loses cohesion
4. Pierre Bourdieu : your “taste” in music, food, language, culture is an inherited class privilege disguised as choice
5. Michel Foucault : power works best when you think someone is watching you all the time and you start policing yourself without anyone forcing you
6. Erving Goffman : social life is like performing in a theatre, and people are performing different roles in front of different audiences sometimes in front of others as front stage and sometimes in private as back stage
7. Zygmunt Bauman : modern relationships feel fragile because society itself has become unstable and always changing shapes like a liquid
8. C. Wright Mills : your private struggles are often public issues created by larger systems.. so if you are finding it difficult to find a job, it might be less about you and possibly more about how it might be the economy at this moment.. same is with personal struggles with relationships, break ups, divorces, depression, infidelity, meaninglessness.. it’s less about you and more about how the society is at the moment
9. Herbert Marcuse : people can feel free while living inside systems designed to control them
10. Jean Baudrillard : modern society does not consume products, it consumes symbols, images, illusions
11. Antonio Gramsci : the strongest domination is when people voluntarily accept the ideas hurting them
12. George Herbert Mead : your “self” is not born inside you, it is built through interaction with others.. so your image of yourself in your head is how you think others think about you..
13. Talcott Parsons : society survives because millions of people silently perform expected roles every day and agree with what rewards come with those roles
14. Harriet Martineau : you cannot understand a society unless you examine how it treats women and the powerless
15. Ulrich Beck : modern society creates risks so complex.. and society is categorised accordingly on how well one can ward off risk better than others.. and it’s reaching a point that even progress itself starts becoming dangerous
Will share more in coming days and how sociology really makes your life better 😊
