    Episode 10: We the People of India

    Many different voices emerged during our workshops and for the last episode of our podcast, we curated a poem from these diverse voices. It is a collective poem, created with responses shared by children to a one-line exercise on the idea of Liberty. Their concerns range from freedom in personal spaces as well as the outside world. Perhaps, you may find your own thoughts and feelings somewhere in this amalgam. This is the last episode in our podcast but our collective endeavour to make sense of our complicated and intertwined histories must continue. We hope the podcast created a shared space to discover what we may not have experienced, to find resonance with another’s world. The children’s words, the children’s voices can help us find, reinforce and celebrate the plurality that lies in the idea of Hum Hindustani.

    Episode 9: The Farmers' Protest

    The poem in this episode is about the Farmers’ Protest of 2020-2021, the Kisan Andolan in which farmers across several states of India came together to resist new farm laws that the government had introduced. There were many arguments for and against the laws, just like there are many varied practices of farming across the country. The protest continued for over a year, through the COVID 19 pandemic, with farmers’ communities setting up camps that became almost temporary cities on the borders of Delhi. Families from villages came and spent weeks at these sites. For many of the children who came too, this was an experience like no other. The poem in this episode shows us how such an experience influences a child’s understanding of community, of power and of resistance. And in that understanding lie possibilities of imagining change.

    Episode 8: Are Those My People?

    The poem narrated in this episode was written as part of an exercise in which children were asked to reflect on their everyday life and when they had felt a sense of belonging. The poet is 14-years old and studies in a municipal school in Govandi, Mumbai. She lives in a densely packed compound of high rise buildings where people who lived in slums and pavements from all over Mumbai were rehoused. Living in such a space means coping with the lack of facilities such as poor sanitation, no safe play areas and uncertain power and water supply. What do children experience in such circumstances? How does that affect their relationships with those around them? And from where do they draw their sense of belonging? About the GuestNatasha Badhwar is a writer, film-maker, teacher.

    Episode 7: My People

    The poem we share today was written by a 14-year-old studying in a municipal school in Govandi, Mumbai, reflecting on the idea of Fraternity that the Constitution of India promises to all its citizens. What does fraternity mean? What does it look like - in the home, at school, in the neighbourhood or in the country? When do we feel it – is it when we experience a sense of belonging? Does that come from where we are born or where we live? When does it happen – when we come together? And what if we don’t? What of those times? Does the fact that the Constitution promises this to all citizens mean that we all feel bound together, in fraternity? The poem interrogates the idea of belonging, drawing from everyday lived experiences, leaving us to wonder whether we can indeed make the world anew.

    Episode 6: Equality for All

    The poem in this episode is written by a young girl in a village in Firozpur, Punjab, who regularly attended the Farmers’ Protests of 2020-21, both outside Delhi and at the sites near her village. The poem was written as an exercise on equality but the child-poet’s words reveal a much larger landscape. They take us beyond what is normally seen as a child’s world. Is the child’s world really smaller than the adult world? Or are we limiting it and ignoring the layers of meaning that lie in children’s experiences? About the GuestFarah Farooqi is Professor of Education at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, Faculty of Education, Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi. Previously, she worked for eight years at the Department of Elementary Education, Lady Sri Ram College, Delhi. Farah has written on issues of education, identity, marginalization, ghettoization, cultural politics and school ethnographies. Farah writes both in Hindi and English. Her journey as Manager of a government-aided school was published by Eklavya as Ek School Manager ki Diary. She has also published in journals and magazines such as Economic and Political Weekly, IIC Quarterly, Learning Curve, The Caravan, The Wire, Shiksha Vimarsh and some international forums such as The Friday Times (Lahore) and Max Weber Stiftung (London) on several issues in Education. Farah has contributed as chief advisor and author to the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks for Environmental Studies for Classes IV and V, published between 2006 and 2008. She has also written for teachers and teacher-trainees. Her recent book published by Routledge (2023) is titled, Education in a Ghetto: Paradoxes of a Muslim-Majority School.

    Episode 5: Equality is a Feeling

    When asked about when they felt equal and when unequal, children across different spaces often shared similar experiences - feeling equal when a festival is celebrated together; feeling unequal when a teacher was more lenient with another student or feeling that a parent favoured a sibling. But there were also many examples that came from the particular experiences that individual children had had. The poem in this episode has both kinds and speaks with great sensitivity about how the poet has experienced both equality and inequality, and even exclusion in her life. About the GuestThejaswi Shivanand is a teacher and library educator. He is keenly interested in widening the library movement to include all educational spaces that engage children. He is a books curator at Champaca Bookstore, Bangalore and leads the library programme, working with children and anchoring professional development.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Each episode includes the children’s writing, responses to the poems by writers, artists and educators, along with a commentary that presents the context and does a close reading of the poem to reflect on what the children’s voices reveal to us about the world we live in and the world we could build.Follow us on Instagram@themagickeycentre orvisit our websitehum-hindustani.in
