An interaction with Usha Rao, anthropologist tracking social impact of a changing Bengaluru

Hello people, good morning and welcome to DH Radio

In today's episode anchored by Rasheed Kappan, anthropologist Usha Rao takes us back to the lost Banda Ground, a shared open space near Shivajinagar that gave way to the Cantonment Metro Station project.

Listen to her, as she explains how our playgrounds, a democratic space, are being blatantly encroached upon without any public consultation.

These, she reminds, are not empty spaces but places where communities are formed, children are socialised and grow into adulthood, building enduring social bonds.

An interaction with ‘NoCountryMan’ Kedarnath GM

Hello people, good morning, and welcome to DH Radio

For today’s episode, we went looking for Kedarnath, who had left Bengaluru in 2017 on a 3 lakh kilometre worldwide tour on a motorcycle. It was not easy tracking him down, but Rasheed Kappan finally caught up with him on the side of a Java highway in Indonesia. 

Listen in to his fascinating tales of endurance, adventure and the boundless joy of connecting with a million people. And of course, don’t miss his great escape from a raging Kangaroo Down Under! 

An interaction with Suresh Jayaram, author, Bangalore's Lalbagh

Hello people, good morning, and welcome to DH Radio

Today, we have with us Suresh Jayaram, an artist, art historian, curator and garden enthusiast who has just launched a fantastic book on Lalbagh. He calls it Bangalore's Lalbagh for a reason: The book goes far beyond, vividly capturing the city's culture and traditions in lucid text and arresting imagery. Listen in.

Hello people, good morning, and welcome to DH Radio

For today’s episode, we have with us Sathya Sankaran, Bengaluru’s Bicycle Mayor, who is spearheading a campaign to make cycling a way of life in the city, not restricted to only recreation and weekend trips.

Yes, Cycling to work sounds very eco-friendly indeed. But why would anyone risk their lives competing for space with those reckless, random, risky, roaring motorists hell-bent on occupying every inch of road space?

Sathya has shown there is a way out, and he articulates it in this conversation with Rasheed Kappan. Listen in.

Hello people, good morning, and welcome back to DH Radio. 

For today’s episode, we have with us Mr Uday Vijayan from Beyond Carlton, a collective that has been at the forefront of high-rise fire-safety in Bengaluru for over a decade.

In many ways, the 2010 Carlton Towers fire tragedy that claimed nine lives was a big eye-opener, exposing the huge gaps in high-rise fire-safety. For Mr Uday, the fire was also a personal tragedy, having lost his son in the blaze. 

But he refused to give up, and sparked a movement that eventually forced the government to amend the rules to empower the Fire Services to re-inspect high-rise buildings for fire-safety. 

In conversation with Rasheed Kappan, Mr Vijay recalls those trying days and the campaign that followed. Listen in…
