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.

Domestic equities rose to their peak levels in October on strong global cues with P/E multiples touching 31 for the Sensex. This then prompted a sell-off by foreign investors, prompting them to pull a whopping ₹13,550 crore from Indian equities during the month. Indian stocks have witnessed a heavy outflow of foreign investment - a key driver for domestic equities - over the past two months.  Benchmarks like Sensex have corrected nearly 10 per cent from their record high levels. Both the Sensex and Nifty tanked about 2.5% each as concerns about risks from the rapid spread of the omicron coronavirus variant prompted selling in global equities. The Reserve Bank of India is forecast to hike its repo rate by 25 basis points in Q2 2022, its first increase in more than three years,  In this episode, we have experts Nimish Joshi and Rajeev Mantri speaking about these events and more, and gauging their short, medium, and long term impact on the Indian stock market. They spoke about what actually happened in the market correction, IPO market post the underwhelming PayTM IPO, the near future outlook, the influence of macro factors on stock prices, and more.
