What UnEarth

Part II of Episode 14 is an exploration into more foundational questions which attempt to understand the land acquisition law, its colonial origins, how people’s movements have managed to create laws, and what environmental justice even is

Today’s episode attempts to understand development, not through conceptual lectures, but through the eyes of a foot soldier, through the mind of a thought leader, through the life of a woman who, in her own words had a clueless entry, into the world of activism, for fighting for people’s rights, who went on to achieve so much, but what she set out to do, was attempt to understand the injustice she saw before her.

In Part II of Episode 13, we dive deeper into our understanding of modern lifestyle diseases, with Mugdha Pradhan, as she teaches us about the root causes of nearly every illness known to man, and how her team works to make humanity healthier.

This is Maitreya Prithwiraj Ghorpade and thank you for listening to What UnEarth! Joining me for Episode 13 is Mugdha Pradhan, Founder of 'iThrive' a health and wellness start-up that has helped thousands of people cure ailments where doctors and prescriptions had repeatedly and horribly failed. My talk with Mugdha was fascinating because I feel I came a step closer to understanding so many of my questions. Questions such as - How healthy are our pill-popping habits? Are alternate medicine practices just disguised quackery? What does functional medicine even mean? But most importantly, how was Mugdha’s journey of overcoming her own illnesses, in this week’s What UnEarth

As Season 2 of What UnEarth sets off, we continue our journey back in an attempt to learn from some of the most popular episodes of the first season, this time with Episode 01 with Prithwiraj Ghorpade. I have often asked myself, What is the number 1 solution to climate change? What is the single most effective use of the limited time that humanity has to effect any kind of tangible change on the single greatest threat to our peaceful existence? Within the grander scheme of things, In what way can I best help fight against this seemingly apocalyptical future that we’re steadfastly marching towards? Well it turns out I’m not the only one to ask that question. Although there exist a multitude of answers to these questions. I now realize that the only real way we can help to restore nature to its former glory is by unequivocally and wholly extracting ourselves from certain spaces and thereby allow nature to operate its highly sophisticated and finely tuned technology. It is our hubris that makes us believe that we have it in us to “save the planet”. That being said, There are however, some things that individuals can do to facilitate this transit back to the state of nature. Join me as I talk to Mr. Prithwiraj Ghorpade, an organic farmer, as we attempt to unearth man's relationship with land, nature, and the eluding dream of sustainability.
