Learning Forward Podcast Season 10 Episode 14, we try to understand India's strategy for unleashing its innate greatness: Ms Bhairavi Jani, the author of Highway to Swades. Join Anvesha and Rishona on this marvellous trip to rediscover India's superpowers. In a country overflowing with its culture, a nation intertwined along with its love for heritage and a place blossoming in its beautiful diversity. We belong to India, the land of differences, but these differences act as a binding force for each of us. India is indeed a great country, full of stories to tell and experiences to share. Indeed, all the powers mentioned in the book have their unique meaning.
Powers are a way to recall our past, and as we have said many times, India's only way to rediscover its superpowers is the Highway to Swades. At our Sunday School, we discussed the power of nature, and we believe the character has its way of healing us. Rishona asks Bhairavi Which power inspired you the most and touched your heart and why? Anvesha asks if nature helped you regain yourself and what you love the most about nature.
