Samfundet i Trondheim inviterte til møte om India.

India er et av verdens mest mangfoldige og multietniske land. Når du tenker på India, tenker du kanskje på Tikka Masala og Butter Chicken. Det er kanskje ikke så rart, for vi hører generelt lite om India i media. Men visste du at India blir omtalt som verdens største demokrati? At India har passert Kina i befolkningstall? Og at landet har vært styrt av samme parti og statsminister siden 2014?

Lørdag 7. september inviterte Samfundet til et dypdykk inn i indisk politikk, hvor vi tar for oss alt fra sosial ulikhet, til økende hindunasjonalisme og anti-muslimsk retorikk, til et demokrati, en religionsfrihet og en ytringsfrihet under press. For hva er det egentlig som rokker seg innad i verdens mest folkerike land? For å svare på dette inviterte de professor emeritus i samfunnsøkonomi og India-entusiast, Karl “Kalle” Moene, samt forfatter, grunnlegger av Det Moderne India, og tidligere ISFiT president, Rina Sunder.

Arendalsuka is over for this year!

We are excited to share with our beloved listners our engaging debate at Arendalsuka through our podcast.

The Nordic countries are globally recognized for their pristine nature and pure water, with Cleantech serving as a cornerstone of our societies. By merging advanced technology with effective water management, the Nordics have preserved and restored some of the world's finest water resources.

This year's seminar at Arendalsuka was centered on a crucial topic: "India: The Potential of Recycling Water and Waste – Myth and Reality in Achieving a Circular Economy."

Our aim was to explore and develop sustainable solutions for India’s water challenges by harnessing both Indian and Nordic knowledge and technology.

We were fortunate to feature an exceptional lineup of speakers and panelists who offered valuable insights on this critical issue.

We also delved into Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects, particularly in waste management – a sector with immense potential for impactful conversations.

Some of the key questions we explored included:

- What are India's ambitions within the circular economy, specifically in the waste and water sectors?
- How do existing regulations and other policy instruments help bring India closer to achieving these ambitions, and where are adjustments needed?
- How can Indo-Norwegian cooperation projects advance India’s innovation and goals?

We look forward to continuing this essential dialogue and exploring collaborative pathways to create sustainable solutions!
