The 2020–2022 global chip shortage is an ongoing crisis in which the  demand for integrated circuits (commonly known as semiconductor chips)  is greater than the supply, affecting more than 169 industries[3] and  has led to major price increases, shortages and queues amongst consumers  for automobiles, graphics cards, video game consoles, computers, and  other products that require semiconductors.[4][5][6] Commonly cited  causes for the shortage include the COVID-19 pandemic, the China–United  States trade war, and various severe weather incidents.   The Indian government has announced a 76,000 crore scheme to boost  semiconductor and display manufacturing in the country. We're also  seeing inter-country talks between India and Taiwan, with TSMC and UMC  looking to set up a facility in India. Can this lead to India being the  hub for semiconductors in the future?  Our guests for this episode are Gaurav Goel and Arun Mampazhy. Gaurav is  a micro architect with two decades of experience in the semiconductor  field. He has worked with prominent companies like Intel, Synopys, and  is currently working at AMD.   Arun has a BTech from IIT-M and MS from University of Maryland in  semiconductor fabrication and over a decade of industry experience. He's  also keeping a keen eye on semiconductor manufacturing in India.    Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfBfBd-1kvCOPxVll8tBJ9Q/join

Tuhin A. Sinha is an Indian author and politician. He is known for the  novels Mission Shengzhan, a topic of a previous episode on Bharatvaarta,  and today's topic of discussion, The Legend Of Birsa Munda; a  dramatized account of one of the unsung heroes of India's independence  movement.  In 19th century India, deep in the heart of what is now the state of  Jharkhand, the Adivasis have been leading a life of absolute misery and  darkness. The colonial state, with the help of its scheming local  collaborators, has cast a net of abuse and exploitation that is  tightening around these Adivasis, much like a hangman’s noose does.  Everything they hold dear – their land, homes, history, traditions,  religion, families – has fallen victim to the grand colonial plan of  building a magnificent but merciless empire for the Queen.  At the heart of the rebellion against the colonials is the  twenty-five-year-old Birsa Munda. He decides what must be done to save  his community and leads the Adivasis in fighting back to reclaim their  lives. Based on true events, this epic tale of courage is a tribute to  the life of Birsa Munda, who in his very short life, mobilized the  tribal community, rebelled against forced conversions, envisioned a  fairer, more just society and died fighting for it. The Legend of Birsa  Munda is the story of a subaltern tribal hero, whose contribution to  India’s struggle for independence must never be forgotten.
