Welcome to the Divinity Divulged podcast! The first podcast series from the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge.

Our discussions are aimed at all of those studying or exploring religious studies across all levels, and you can find details on how this episode relates to A Level and Scottish Highers Specifications below.   In this episode we joined by Hina Khalid, at the time of recording PhD student here in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, to explore Hina’s PhD research which engages with the theological and philosophical worldviews of two titanic poets of the Indian subcontinent, Rabindranath Taghore and Muhammad Iqbal. Joining us for this one is Dr Ankur Barua, University Senior Lecturer in Hindu Studies also in the Faculty of Divinity.   As we are taken through the theoretical and lyrical contributions of both thinkers, Hina guides us through cosmologies, accounts of human personhood, political and spiritual crossovers and ‘serious play’.   We dearly hope you enjoy!   Researcher: Dr Hina Khalid Expert Guest: Dr Ankur Barua Host: Dr Joseph Powell   A Level Specifications –   AQA   2C Hinduism   Ultimate reality The dialogue between Hinduism and philosophy   2D Islam   The dialogue between Islam and philosophy   Pearson Edexcel   Philosophy of Religion   Paper 4, Option 4C: Hinduism   Social and historical developments including challenges and responses Religion and society   Paper 4, Option 4D: Islam     Social and historical developments including challenges and responses Religion and society   OCR   Content of Developments in Islamic thought   Science and Philosophy Islam and the State   Content of Developments in Hindu thought   Samsara and Karma Hinduism and India   Scottish Highers Specifications   SQA   Hinduism   Beliefs   Islam   Beliefs   Religious and philosophical questions   Origins
