| February 17, 2025, New York City and Hameln, Weserbergland, Germany Barbara Barnes shared here insights on the political situation in the United States in February 2025, at the beginning of Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States that began on January 20, 2025, following his victory in the 2024 presidential election. This conversation was recorded by Evelin Lindner on February 17, 2025 as part of the Dignity Conversations Series. Other participants were Michael Boyer and Georg Geckler from Hameln in Germany. Barbara quoted Timothy Snyder, a Yale history professor and expert on authoritarianism, who views the continuation of regular, free elections as uncertain, due to the potential erosion of democratic norms under a second Trump presidency. Snyder emphasized the importance of collective action and awareness to safeguard democratic institutions now, rather than only placing hope on the 2028 elections. Barbara pointed out that the critics of Adolf Hitler in Germany could not lean back after he came to power and hope for the next elections, because there were no next elections. Barbara Barnes is a peace activist and educator based in New York City. She became a secular Buddhist practitioner after years of political activism in peace education and racial and economic justice work. Barnes has a background in socialist, feminist, and Marxist frameworks, which she applied to her activism. As an educator, Barnes has taught in Kenya and Mozambique, and worked with teachers and students in New York City schools on resolving conflicts nonviolently. She was also on the faculty at Brooklyn College in the School of Education. Barnes is involved with several peace-focused organizations: 1. She is associated with the New York Insight Meditation Center, where she likely teaches or leads meditation sessions. 2. She is a member of Mediators Beyond Borders, where she works as an experienced mediator and facilitator, viewing conflict as an opportunity for change within relationships. 3. Barnes is recognized by Humans of Peace Education (HOPE) as a peace educator working in the United States. Her approach to peace activism emphasizes transforming conflicts to improve relationships, and she welcomes conflict as a catalyst for positive change[6]. Barnes's work in peace education and conflict resolution spans several decades, contributing to the broader peace movement that has evolved since 1945. • Kindly click on the photo avove on the left side to see Barbara being part of a demonstration in New York City.

| 2nd February 2025, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India 'Is Peace Possible?' Dialogue with Dr. Rajesh Dixit Organisers: All India Peace and Solidarity Organisation (AIPSO) Co-Orgniser: State Press Club Madhya Pradesh Location: State Press Club Madhya Pradesh auditorium Thank you so much, dear Vivek Mehta, for making this important event possible! • Kindly click on the video • Kindly click on the photos above to see them larger or here to see all • Kindly see all of the press coverage here Evelin Lindner explained how important the legacy of Gandhi is for her, as well as outside of India in the wider world. She emphasised this point on the background of Gandhi's legacy being under pressure within India. Perplexity.ai explains: In India, Mahatma Gandhi's legacy is facing increasing scrutiny, particularly from Hindu nationalists who criticise him for being too pro-Muslim and for his role in the partition of India, which led to significant bloodshed. This criticism is partly motivated by the rise of the BJP, a pro-Hindu nationalist party, which has led some to question Gandhi's contributions to Indian independence. Additionally, modern India's shift towards urbanisation and economic development has led some to view Gandhi's ideals of simplicity and self-sufficiency as outdated, further complicating his standing in contemporary Indian society |

| 30th January 2025, SAGE University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India What an honour to be award a Honoris Causa Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) by SAGE University in Indore, Madhya Pradesh! Prof. (Dr.) Ankur A. Kulkarni is the Vice Chancellor of SAGE University. A Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) is an honorary doctoral degree typically awarded during a university's convocation ceremony to recognize individuals for their outstanding contributions to literature, arts, or culture. The D.Litt. is often conferred alongside other honorary degrees such as Honorary D.Sc. (Doctor of Science) and Honorary LL.D. (Doctor of Laws). This prestigious recognition is usually bestowed upon accomplished individuals who have made significant impacts in their respective fields. Radha-Krishna represents the divine union of love and devotion in Hinduism, particularly within Vaishnavism. Radha is considered the embodiment of pure love and devotion, symbolizing the feminine aspect of God, while Krishna is the masculine aspect. Their relationship is seen as a cosmic dance, transcending material boundaries, and is often interpreted as a guide for spiritual enlightenment and selfless love. Radha's love for Krishna is unconditional and selfless, exemplifying the highest form of devotion, and together they are revered as the ultimate divine couple, embodying both masculine and feminine realities of God[1][2][3]. • Kindly click on the photos above to see them larger, or here to see all pictures. |

| 7th January 2025, Lahore, University of Central Punjab (UCP) Schedule: 10:00 – 12:00 Conference Room Building A: Dignilogue with Bachelor’s Students (Open Invitation) (Students of Psychology) 14:00 – 16:00 Conference room building A: Dignilogue with MS/PhD Students (Open Invitation) Dear Dr. Shazia Hasan and Dr. Bushra Naz, dear Naeema Sarfaz and Momina Nayyer, thank you so much for this wonderful evening in the Chinatown restaurant! Dr. Bushra Naz explains: Pakistani cuisine is a vibrant combination of aromas, textures, reflecting a rich culinary heritage. The daily diet often features a balanced combination of meat, vegetables, and pulses, offering a nutritious and diverse array of dishes. However, when it comes to hosting guests, celebrating gatherings, or organizing parties, the focus typically shifts towards meat-centric dishes that signify hospitality and festivity. Meat plays a central role in Pakistani culinary traditions, especially during special occasions. Dishes like biryani (aromatic spiced rice with meat), nihari (slow-cooked meat stew), and karahi (spiced meat stir-fry) are iconic and often grace the tables at such events. Grilled specialties, such as seekh kebabs, tikka, and botis, are also popular choices, offering a smoky, tantalizing flavor that guests eagerly anticipate. These dishes accompanied with naan, rotti and rice Desserts like gulab jamun, kheer, or jalebi add a sweet ending to the feast, while beverages such as lassi or aromatic chai ensure a warm and welcoming experience for guests. In Pakistani culture, the effort put into preparing lavish, meat-rich meals is a testament to the importance of hospitality and the joy of sharing food with loved ones. • Kindly click on the photos above to see them larger. |

| 5th January 2025, Lahore What a great gift that I had the privilege of staying in the Guest House of the University of Central Punjab (UCP)! Thank you so much, dearest Dr. Bushra Naz and Zainab Bashir, for visiting me there! Dr. Bushra Naz is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at UCP. I am so sorry, dear friends, that my preference for eating soup forced you to bring me to non-Pakistani restaurants... I learned that Pakistan has predominently a meat culture and also exports meat, not least to Afghanistan... Here we were sitting in Chinatown restaurant, brought here by dear Sikandar, Zainab, and Dr. Bushra! Perplexity.ai explains: Pakistan has a robust and significant meat culture deeply rooted in its culinary traditions and religious practices. **Meat plays a dominant role** in Pakistani cuisine, far more prominently than in other South Asian cuisines[3][6]. ## Meat Consumption and Preferences Pakistani people consume a variety of meats, primarily: - Chicken - Lamb - Beef - Goat - Fish (though less frequently) Notably, **red meat is particularly popular**, with beef being a favorite for dishes like kebabs and nihari[3][5]. In fact, an average Pakistani consumes three times more meat than an average Indian[6]. ## Cultural and Religious Influences The meat culture in Pakistan is heavily influenced by Islamic dietary laws: - **Pork is strictly forbidden** under Islamic tenets[2] - All meat must be **halal**, prepared according to specific religious guidelines[2][3] - The manner of animal slaughter is crucial, requiring minimal suffering and complete blood drainage[2] ## Regional Meat Variations Meat consumption varies across different regions of Pakistan: - Plains (Punjab and Sindh): More beef consumption - Highlands (KPK and Baluchistan): More lamb and goat meat[5] ## Meat Production and Industry Pakistan has a growing meat industry with significant potential: - Per capita meat consumption increased from 11.7 kg in 2000 to 32 kg currently[1] - Projected to reach 47 kg per capita by 2020[1] - Poultry sector contributes 30% of total meat production[1] Meat is not just a food item but a central part of Pakistani cuisine, often serving as the main course in meals and playing a crucial role in cultural and festive traditions[6].

| 4th January 2025, Lahore Dearest Zainab, thank you so much for helping me get this wonderful Shalwar Kameez, also known as Salwar Kameez, in the Emporium Mall, in Lahore, Punjab 54000, Pakistan! Zainab Bashir is part of the International Office of the University of Central Punjab (UCP), together with Sikandar Sethi. Perplexity.ai explains that this is a traditional outfit originating from the Indian subcontinent, widely worn by both men and women in South Asia and Central Asia. This ensemble typically consists of two main components: **shalwar**, which are loose-fitting trousers, and **kameez**, a long tunic or shirt. ## Components of Shalwar Kameez: **Shalwar**: These trousers are characterized by their wide cut at the waist, tapering down to a cuffed bottom. They are often secured with a drawstring or elastic band, allowing for comfort and ease of movement. The design can vary from baggy to more fitted styles[1][2] **Kameez**: The kameez is a long shirt that usually extends below the knees. It can feature various sleeve lengths and necklines, and often includes decorative elements such as embroidery or beadwork. The side seams of the kameez may be left open (known as *chaak*) to enhance mobility[1][2]. **Dupatta**: Although not always included, a dupatta (a long scarf) is frequently worn with the outfit, draped over the shoulder or head for added elegance and modesty[4]. ## Historical Background: The Shalwar Kameez was introduced to South Asia by Muslim invaders in the 13th century. Initially popular among women, it quickly gained traction across different communities and became particularly associated with the Punjab region. Over time, it evolved into a symbol of national identity in Pakistan, where it is recognized as the national dress[2][3][4] ## Cultural Significance: This outfit is not only a staple in everyday wear but also holds cultural significance. It is considered a modest garment in Islamic tradition and is commonly worn during religious occasions and celebrations. The Shalwar Kameez has also adapted to various regional styles across South Asia, reflecting local customs and fashion trends[3][4][5]. In summary, the Shalwar Kameez is a versatile and culturally rich garment that embodies the heritage of South Asia while remaining practical for daily wear. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to its comfort, style, and cultural significance across diverse communities.

| 4th January 2025, Arriving in Lahore Arriving in Lahore very late during the night, because the plane could not land due to fog and smog. Thank you so much, dearest Sikandar Sethi, for so patiently waiting for me for hours! Sikandar Sethi is the Deputy Director of the International Office of the University of Central Punjab (UCP) Perplexity.ai explains: Lahore frequently experiences significant challenges with **fog and smog**, particularly impacting flight operations at Allama Iqbal International Airport. ## Impact of Smog on Flight Operations - **Flight Disruptions**: Dense smog has led to numerous flight delays and diversions. For instance, a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight from Doha was rerouted to Islamabad due to poor visibility caused by the fog covering Lahore[1]. The airport's limited landing systems exacerbate these issues, as they can only accommodate certain aircraft types under low visibility conditions[1]. - **Health Risks**: The severe air pollution not only disrupts air travel but also poses health risks to passengers and residents. The smog, which is often confused with natural fog, contains harmful pollutants that can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems[2][3]. ## Causes of Smog in Lahore - **Pollution Sources**: The smog in Lahore is primarily attributed to high levels of vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and seasonal agricultural practices such as crop burning in neighboring regions. This combination of factors creates a thick haze that worsens during the winter months when colder air traps pollutants near the ground[4][5]. - **Seasonal Patterns**: Lahore's smog typically peaks in late November and December, coinciding with agricultural practices and stagnant weather conditions that prevent the dispersal of pollutants[4]. ## Recommendations for Travelers Travelers are advised to check flight statuses regularly during periods of heavy smog and to remain cautious about health risks associated with poor air quality. The airport officials recommend staying informed about potential delays or cancellations due to adverse weather conditions[1].

| 3rd January 2025, Doha airport Falcons can travel in the passenger cabin on Qatar Airways, but with specific restrictions. Falcons are the only animals permitted in the passenger cabin, and they are only allowed in Economy Class. This practice is quite common in the Middle East, with Qatar Airways being one of the airlines that allows falcons special travel privileges. Ffalcons are so culturally significant that there's a gold falcon sculpture at Hamad International Airport celebrating the national bird. • Kindly click on the photos above to see them larger. |
