The elderly are becoming a greater proportion of India's population, and many of them are women who had a lifetime of underemployment before becoming too frail to work, but still have overwhelming financial responsibilities. Even food can be difficult for them to obtain. Jacintha Kumaraswamy, Founder of Sakti, staff, a volunteer, and the elder women beneficiaries tell how the project evolved as a community endeavour, what it provides, what its recipients face and how they are helped, and what else might be in its future.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, we return to the theme of Black History Month and examine the underlying but unstated White Supremacism which is still expressing itself today. In our first half hour, we hear from the scholar-activist Tina Renier about the United States turning against people of colour under Trump and the MAGA movement and about some of the ways we could reverse the tide. Then in our second half hour, we hear from the acclaimed Canadian Historian Afua Cooper about the various examples of Black people in Canada being marginalized in the history books and about what is gained by hiding past crimes from pupblic consicousness.

Are you jealous? Have you ever been? Do you know the origin of your jealousy? Jealousy often goes hand in hand with feelings of love, but where does this emotion come from, and how can we manage it? In this edition of Radio Curious we visit with Marcianne Blevis, author of “Jealousy: True Stories of Love’s Favorite Decoy.” In this book, Marcianne Blevis, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who lives and works in Paris, France, reveals the different ways jealousy affects people and suggests methods to understand and manage what can be a very destructive yet elusive emotion. She examines the deeper consequences of jealousy and inquires if jealousy is useful to us, and is this extraordinary passion in reality a strategy for survival. In this conversation with Marcianne Blevis from her home in Paris, France recorded on February 2nd, 2009 we began by asking her to explain what jealousy is? The book she recommends is “Aux Confins De L’Identite” by Michel d’Musan currently only available in french.
