  Skater Girl Asha tells the TRUE story of how Asha, an Untouchable, broke courageously with the traditional conventions in her village and shaped her life ever since. She escaped her arranged marriage and found her passion and purpose through skateboarding. Today, Asha is a strong voice for all the girls in her village of Janwaar – and far beyond. 
  “Before the skatepark started, I was very different. I didn’t know my own voice. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone. I never made any decision on my own – only my family members would decide what is good and what is bad for me. This has changed completely when the skatepark came to my village. I’ve found my voice. It is a long and bumpy road I am on – but I take it as the challenges occur!”

  The Tenderness of Silent Minds -...

  The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. 
   
   
   
  Offering a reading of Britten's views about the value and beauty of the body that situates these in the context of his thirty-nine year partnership with his lover, the singer Peter Pears, and also surveying pacifist themes in works written both before and after War Requiem, Nussbaum presents a compelling framework for critically assessing Britten's oeuvre. Nussbaum engages with a remarkably wide range of Britten's works, examining his treatment of aggression and its roots in his collaborations with the poet W. H. Auden, offering readings of the value placed on the body in early partnerships with Britten's beloved and singer Peter Pears, and surveying pacifist themes in Britten's earlier works. The analysis throughout is enriched with perspectives from Britten's personal letters and thoughtful study of the social and political backdrop of fear and homophobic disgust in mid-twentieth century Britain.

  Gorgias - Plato

  Gorgias is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, set in Athens in the early 5th century BC. The dialogue is named after the renowned Greek sophist Gorgias of Leontini, who is the main interlocutor in the conversation. 
  The dialogue begins with a discussion about the nature of rhetoric and its relationship to truth. Socrates, the main protagonist of the dialogue, argues that rhetoric is merely a skill of persuasion, and that its practitioners do not necessarily possess knowledge of the subject matter they are discussing. Gorgias and his student Polus disagree, and argue that rhetoric can be used to achieve both knowledge and persuasion. 
  The discussion then turns to the question of whether or not it is better to suffer injustice or to commit injustice. Socrates argues that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit it, and that it is always better to do what is right rather than what is expedient. Gorgias and Polus, however, disagree and argue that it is better to be the one who is in power and able to do as they please. 
  The dialogue concludes with a discussion about the nature of happiness and whether or not it can be achieved through the pursuit of power and wealth. Socrates argues that true happiness comes from living a life of virtue and wisdom, rather than from external circumstances such as wealth and power. 
  Overall, Gorgias is a profound exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy, including the nature of truth, justice, and happiness. It remains one of Plato's most famous and influential works, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of philosophy.
