The route was originally devised sixty SAT years ago by a local farmer who issued a challenge in the SAT Dalesman magazine. He thought it might be possible to cross SAT 40 miles of the Moors from near Osmotherley to Ravenscar in SAT 24 hours, crossing only one or two roads. A club was formed SAT following the first successful crossing, and with a blackly SAT humorous nod to the pain and suffering endured by walkers, a SAT tradition grew of reciting an ancient song known as the SAT Lyke-Wake Dirge which tells of the soul's journey from earth SAT to purgatory. The route was named after this dirge. Clare is SAT joined by veterans and newcomers to the walk, who are known SAT - depending on the number of crossings they've made - as SAT Dirgers, Witches, Doctors of Dolefulness, Masters of Misery SAT or, the most senior of all, Past Masters or Mistresses.

SAT SAT In 1965, the transmission of the BBC's The War Game, SAT directed by Peter Watkins, was stopped at the eleventh hour SAT with an official announcement that it was too shocking for SAT public viewing. The BBC's Director General, Sir Hugh SAT Carleton-Greene, claimed it had been the Corporation's SAT decision alone - but this programme reveals the part played SAT by senior figures in Whitehall and members of Harold SAT Wilson's government. SAT SAT Peter Watkins's groundbreaking film went on to win an Oscar SAT and influenced a generation of film makers. The film SAT suggested that the government's Civil Defence plans were SAT hopelessly inadequate and would leave millions of UK SAT citizens to die in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack. SAT SAT Interviewees in this programme include: former BBC Chairman SAT of Governors Sir Christopher Bland who is "astonished" to SAT see the files; campaigning journalist Duncan Campbell on the SAT factual accuracy of Watkins's film; Hugh Greene's official SAT biographer Michael Tracey; Bruce Kent of CND; and Derek SAT Ware, the stunt co-ordinator on the film. SAT SAT The programme also includes Professor John Cook, who SAT obtained the previously secret files under a Freedom of SAT Information request. SAT SAT Michael Apted is perhaps best known for directing the "Up" SAT series of TV programmes, but is also the director of 26 SAT movies including James Bond in The World Is Not Enough, SAT Gorillas In The Mist and Enigma.

SAT SAT Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SAT Gallant. SAT Produced & directed by Marion Nancarrow SAT SAT This is the final book in Anthony Trollope's Barchester SAT Chronicles and many of the characters from both "The Small SAT House at Allington" and "Framley Parsonage" return to finish SAT his story of Barsetshire life set between 1855 and 1867. SAT These 4 episodes focus in part on the story of the proud but SAT impoverished vicar of Hogglestock, Josiah Crawley and the SAT accusation that he has stolen and cashed a cheque. The whole SAT of Barset has an opinion about Crawley's guilt or innocence, SAT but no-one is more affected by it than Archdeacon Grantly's SAT son, Henry, who has fallen in love with Crawley's daughter, SAT Grace. Meanwhile, Johnny Eames has returned to try for the SAT hand of Lily Dale, who is still devastated by the betrayal SAT of her amoral fiance, Adolphus Crosbie. Happily, Mrs Baxter SAT returns to tell the tale and give her inimitable opinion on SAT events. SAT SAT Maggie Steed stars as Mrs Baxter and is joined by Adam Kotz, SAT Tim Pigott-Smith, Samuel Barnett and Scarlett Alice Johnson. SAT SAT The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SAT series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SAT set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SAT the surrounding county of Barsetshire. With a focus on the SAT lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural SAT gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful SAT set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately SAT involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of SAT love and friendship across the years.

SAT SAT 22:15 What's Left? b05xxqb2 (Listen) SAT Andrew Rawnsley chairs a debate on the future of the Labour SAT Party, following its devastating defeat at the General SAT Election. Despite 5 years of austerity and UKIP eating into SAT the Tory vote, Labour lost more than twenty seats and were SAT two million votes behind the Conservatives. Majorities were SAT overturned across the country: MPs with strong local SAT followings lost their seats. Most significantly, the party SAT was virtually routed in Scotland in perhaps the most SAT significant electoral change in Britain for a generation. SAT Now Labour is looking for a new leader, but there is a wider SAT debate to be had. Where does it - and the wider centre-left SAT - go from here? Do they make a clear pitch for the SAT disaffected voices of their traditional working class SAT supporters? Do they return to Blairism, triangulating SAT between left and right? How do they confront the nationalist SAT surge in Scotland? And how do they deal with the legacy of SAT their own past? Those taking part: Jon Cruddas MP, Hilary SAT Wainwright, Tristram Hunt MP, Torcuil Crichton and Professor SAT Tim Bale. SAT Producer: Simon Coates. SAT SAT 23:00 The 3rd Degree b05wq1jc (Listen) SAT Series 5, University of Surrey SAT SAT A quiz show hosted by Steve Punt where a team of three SAT University students take on a team of three of their SAT professors. SAT SAT Coming this week from the University of Surrey, The 3rd SAT Degree is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at SAT cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners while SAT delighting the current ones. SAT SAT The Specialist Subjects in this episode are Politics, SAT Business and Physics and the questions range from Black SAT Friday and the Gang Of Four to Ghandi and George Michael - SAT and the show boasts not one, but two jokes about Quantum SAT Mechanics. SAT SAT The show is recorded on location at a different University SAT each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of SAT their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on SAT an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course SAT meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but SAT with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quick-fire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow and Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and One Direction. SAT SAT The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on SAT The Now Show also delights in all facets of knowledge, not SAT just in the Humanities (his educational background) but in SAT the sciences as well. He has made a number of documentaries SAT for Radio 4, including The Poet Unwound - The History Of The SAT Spleen, as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio 4's Big Bang SAT Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, called The Genuine SAT Particle.

She has warned against the dangers of SUN certain therapies that lead to 'false memory' and unreliable SUN accusations against innocent people. SUN SUN In poetry, Ravi Shankar describes memories as the 'wobbly SUN beams' on which we build our self-respect, and Carol Ann SUN Duffy explores the dark side of a childhood misremembered.

SUN MUSIC 1: HYMN ‘ALLELUIA, SING TO JESUS’ SUN SUN SPEECH: GREETING (FR CALLACHER) SUN SUN Good morning and welcome. SUN SUN At this mass and at every mass we come to receive the Body SUN and Blood, the very life of Christ. We come to be nourished SUN by that Eucharist and to be challenged by it. Gathered in SUN this dramatic Twentieth Century icon of Christian faith we SUN appear almost transfigured in light from the coloured SUN lantern windows above us. Gradually very gradually, we SUN become changed people, living less and less for ourselves, SUN growing in our love for the Lord and in love and compassion SUN for others. SUN SUN Archbishop Malcolm McMahon, the congregation, the choir and SUN myself warmly invite you to celebrate with us on this feast SUN of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ – Corpus Christi. SUN Let us thank the Lord for the precious gift of this SUN wonderful Sacrament, through which we share the very life of SUN Jesus, the living bread who satisfies our deepest longings. SUN MUSIC 2: GLORIA SUN Little Organ Mass SUN Franz Josef Haydn SUN SUN SUN SPEECH: Reading - Exodus 24:3-8 SUN SUN A reading from the Book of Exodus, Chapter 24, beginning at SUN verse 3. SUN SUN Moses went and told the people all the commands of the Lord SUN and all the ordinances. In answer, all the people said with SUN one voice, ‘We will observe all the commands that the Lord SUN has decreed.’ Moses put all the commands of the Lord into SUN writing, and early next morning he built an altar at the SUN foot of the mountain, with twelve standing-stones for the SUN twelve tribes of Israel. Then he directed certain young SUN Israelites to offer burnt offerings of bullocks to the Lord SUN as communion sacrifices. Half of the blood Moses took up SUN and put into basins, the other half he cast on the altar. SUN And taking the Book of the Covenant he read it to the SUN listening people, and they said, ‘We will observe all that SUN the Lord has decreed; we will obey.’ Then Moses took the SUN blood and cast it towards the people. ‘This’ he said ‘is SUN the blood of the Covenant that the Lord has made with you, SUN containing all these rules.’ SUN SUN The Word of the Lord. SUN Thanks be to God. SUN MUSIC 3: Responsorial Psalm 115 (CANTOR AND CHOIR) SUN SUN SUNG: ALLELUIA SUN SUN SUN SUN SPEECH: GOSPEL (DEACON – REV MANNINGS) SUN SUN A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark, Chapter SUN 14, beginning at verse 12. SUN Glory to you, O Lord. SUN SUN On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb SUN was sacrificed, his disciples said to Jesus, ‘Where do you SUN want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the SUN passover?’ So he sent two of his disciples, saying to them SUN ‘Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher SUN of water. Follow him, and say to the owner of the house SUN which he enters, “The Master says: Where is my dining room SUN in which I can eat the passover with my disciples?” He will SUN show you a large upper room furnished with couches, all SUN prepared. Make the preparations for us there.’ The SUN disciples set out and went to the city and found everything SUN as he had told them, and prepared the Passover. SUN SUN And as they were eating he took some bread, and when he had SUN said the blessing he broke it and gave it to them. ‘Take SUN it,’ he said ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and SUN when he had returned thanks he gave it to them, and all SUN drank from it, and he said to them, ‘This is my blood, the SUN blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many. SUN I tell you solemnly, I shall not drink any more wine until SUN the day I drink the new wine in the kingdom of God.’ SUN SUN After psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of SUN Olives. SUN SUN The Gospel of the Lord. SUN Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. SUN SUN SPEECH: SERMON SUN SUN I was very surprised like many other people when a national SUN chain of bakers stopped selling bread. Actual loaves that SUN is. How could that be? In a small way it shook the nation, SUN or at least it made the national news bulletins. Of course SUN the baker continued to sell and bake bread but it did it SUN under other forms such as filled baguettes or wraps, SUN sandwiches and savoury pastries. Bread is so important to SUN us as the symbolic food that describes what we eat that even SUN though there was a reduced demand for loaves of bread which SUN justified the change in marketing strategy it felt as though SUN something fundamental to our make up was being threatened. SUN [(Tampering with) Any change to long held habits such as the SUN way we sell bread unsettles us all. there an implicit SUN suggestion with the word ‘tampering’ that we are degrading SUN or adulterating the product which is potentially misleading? SUN Or you could omit this altogether…] SUN SUN So you can imagine how much more unsettling it was for SUN Jesus’s followers when he took what even then was the staple SUN food of everyday life at the Jewish Passover meal and gave a SUN new meaning to the bread and the wine. Those at the meal SUN must have been very shocked indeed. Not only was Jesus SUN reinterpreting the most important feast of the Jewish year SUN but also he was saying that in the breaking of bread and SUN blessing of the wine he would be present for those who did SUN this in memory of him. His death on the cross was SUN anticipated in these sacred actions and words, and by his SUN crucifixion our sins would be forgiven. SUN SUN When Christians meet to remember Jesus in this way they are SUN doing what he commanded. Catholics, the Orthodox and some SUN other Christians believe that Jesus is really present on the SUN altar. It is as if by repeating Jesus’s words from the SUN past, the priest brings the promise of future glory into the SUN present moment. SUN It is our hidden God alone who can satisfy the hun¬gry heart SUN and quench the thirst of our yearning spirits. From the SUN Eucharistic vantage point,better to omit this it sounds like SUN a theological treatise or At the Eucharist we see the past, SUN the present and the future, in the perspective of God's SUN ever-presence. For it is there that we are seated at table SUN with our God. SUN SUN At the Eucharist, Christ is among us as one serves, offering SUN his life as a ransom for many (Lk 22:7; Mk 20:28). It makes SUN present for us, now, Christ's sacrifice of his entire self SUN for me. That’s what this feast of Corpus Christi is all SUN about. And so, each time we eat the Bread of Life and drink SUN the Blessing Cup, we associate ourselves intimately with SUN that offering of the Lord. We are saying 'Amen, yes, so be SUN it', to his invitation to a life of committed and SUN self-sacrificing love and service. For Christ has left us as SUN an example that we are to copy: [[an example expressed in SUN the simple gesture of washing feet and a call to do the same SUN for one another (Jn 13:1-15). Even though it’s an aposite SUN comment This idea is new and not covered in the readings – I SUN think it would be tighter without it] SUN SUN Strengthened by the gift of the Eucharist, we can say 'Amen' SUN to this challenge to die to self-love. We say 'Amen' to the SUN reality that we too must allow ourselves to be broken, SUN poured out and offered in service to' all our sisters and SUN brothers. SUN SUN Christ has given himself in the eucharist, not only for the SUN spiritual growth of those who follow him, but also for the SUN life of the world; so that the Church - all who believe - SUN can be an efficient wouldn’t ‘effective’ be a better word? SUN medium of his loving forgiveness, merciful gentleness and SUN saving justice. Our having life from him should, therefore, SUN be an advertisement that will attract others into his SUN friendship. SUN SUN SUN The eucharist is a call to become, more and more, what we SUN receive - a challenge to allow Christ to transfigure the SUN substance of our hidden selves so that, daily, we will SUN become more clearly recognisable for our fellow pilgrims on SUN the journey of life, as signs of the presence of the living SUN God. SUN SUN The Eucharist is a cry for justice; it is strange how we can SUN be shocked when a baker stops selling loaves but indifferent SUN when a hungry person asks for food by the roadside. The SUN Eucharist is the prayer of God who was himself victimised SUN and brutally treated. It is the plea of Christ who was SUN unjustly con¬demned to a shameful death, who laid down his SUN life and who has now taken it up again forever (Jn 10:17). SUN The Eucharist is the reply of God to a hungry world; to a SUN people deprived not only of mat¬erial bread, but some of SUN their very dignity and livelihood. SUN SUN Yes the Body of Christ is God's demand for such a world: a SUN world that is no longer a lonely place but a habitation of SUN solidarity and friendship. A world where human beings can SUN give thanks together for the gift of life: where God and SUN humanity are in communion and seated together at the SUN table.

From the poem "Revolution" by Dean Atta. SUN SUN Young voters are failing to pick up the voting habit. Many SUN people think the youth don't care - they are seen as lazy, SUN not interested. In the lead up to May's general election, SUN Dean talked to politicians and to the young voters who think SUN they don't have a role to play. SUN SUN What will entice this generation into politics? Do the SUN elected have an answer? What do the political parties have SUN to say to encourage Dean to stay politically engaged? SUN SUN Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith gives Dean some hope, Labour's SUN David Lammy believes this generation has to stay engaged, SUN while Green MP Caroline Lucas has appeal to the young. But SUN it's in East Glasgow, at the office of SNP candidate Natalie SUN McGarry, where the campaign seems at its most lively and SUN dynamic. SUN SUN Dean grew up in Wembley but he's not into football. "I'd go SUN to the station and see floods of fans in the streets." For SUN him, football felt like a bizarre cult, something he was not SUN part of. For many, political parties are the same, so no one SUN joins them - and because no one joins them, they look ever SUN more like bizarre cults.

SUN Bob SUN – Try replanting it into a fibreglass water tank rather than SUN a dustbin. SUN SUN SUN What time of the year would you cloud prune a Myrtle? SUN Bunny SUN – prune it when it has flowered but no later than August. SUN SUN SUN Our Viburnum has died back. What is the cause and the SUN remedy? It flowers in the winter and is evergreen. SUN Anne SUN - It sounds like Viburnum tinus laurustinus. It is prone to SUN dying back and could have been caused by frost or wind. They SUN can also suffer from Viburnum Beetle and it causes the plant SUN to smell rank. SUN Bunny SUN – Cut the Viburnum back, water it and add some mulch to the SUN roots. SUN SUN SUN I have a North facing, green roof. It was originally planted SUN with Sedums and Alpine, but they have not survived. Could SUN the panel suggest some planting that will tolerate shade and SUN damp during the winter and sunny, dry conditions in the SUN summer. SUN Bob SUN – The geranium Herb-Robert has lovely ferny foliage and SUN turns red when dry. SUN Anne SUN – Try using short ferns or clumps of Dwarf Bearded Iris. SUN Bunny SUN – Ivy hedera cristata would be easy but won’t add a lot of SUN visual interest. Polystichum setiferum is difficult to SUN establish but will survive the extreme conditions.

SUN SUN In the second of two programmes, Aaronovitch re-examines the SUN role played by unproven psychoanalytic theories which, from SUN the 1980s, spread from the world of therapists in Canada and SUN the USA to social work, medicine and then to law enforcement SUN in Britain. SUN SUN The programme explores the parallels between the belief in SUN ritual abuse with some of the claims being made today about SUN VIP paedophile rings and group murder. SUN SUN Some of the mistakes of the past - such as the false SUN accusations made against parents in the Orkneys and Rochdale SUN of satanic abuse - have been acknowledged. But, Aaronovitch SUN argues, without a profound understanding of how and why such SUN moral panics arise we are unlikely to avoid similar mistakes SUN in the future. And when such mistakes recur we risk an SUN over-reaction and a return to a culture of denial.

The studio, with its lurid MON combination of sex and death, lashings of blood and gore, MON has given it a special stake in British hearts. It made over MON 200 films such as Dracula and Curse of Frankenstein with a MON recurring, legendary cast, including Peter Cushing and MON Christopher Lee, and its 2007 revival drew heavily on past MON mystique. MON MON Hammer was the most successful British film company of all MON time but, throughout its heyday in the 60s and 70s, it did MON battle with a much smaller, poorer, creative, upstart rival MON - Amicus films. Amicus was a small British horror studio MON that pioneered the much loved 'portmanteau' picture, such as MON Tales of the Crypt and Vault of Horror - each movie a MON composite of four or five short stories, whose connection is MON revealed at the end. MON MON Horror aficionado and film buff Matthew Sweet explores the MON productive rivalry between the two contenders for the heart MON and soul of British horror, in a blood-curdling tale of low MON budget, gore spattered one-upmanship that's full of chilling MON atmosphere and fun.

That would be a radical move, for Greek Orthodoxy MON is the only legally recognised religion and may command the MON loyalty of up to 97% of the Greek people. Tsipras did not MON take a religious oath on taking office. But since then he MON has been seen attending Orthodox Services; and has been MON making friendly overtures to Orthodox Clergy.

It is a curious tale of humanity in search of MON itself. MON MON Peering into the eyes of a primate we see a reflection of MON ourselves and that has been an enduring fascination through MON time. It was thought in the 18th Century that the only MON reason chimps didn't talk in front of people was because MON they were afraid we would enslave them. MON MON From King Kong to the PG Tea chimps, we have exploited their MON similarity to ourselves to create fear and humour. They are MON so similar yet so different, so close to our behaviour yet MON they shock and appal us with their distinctly animal like MON traits. MON MON In Victorian times gorillas were often presented in museums MON in a ferocious pose charging towards the observer, a pose MON more reflecting the fact it was being shot at and defending MON itself rather than a true likeness of the reality of ape MON life. Today however they are seen as dignified vegetarians MON of the forest, huge yet gentle, demanding our hushed MON respect. MON MON Documentaries on primates are always amongst the most MON popular as we pick apart their lives for yet ever more MON detailed clues about how we are alike yet still worlds MON apart.

They TUE sing in the marshes of central and eastern Europe where the TUE small European population has its stronghold. Unfortunately, TUE this specialized habitat is disappearing because of TUE drainage, disturbance and peat extraction. They are migrants TUE so it's vital to protect their wintering areas as well as TUE their breeding sites. It's known that up to 10,000 birds TUE winter in the swamps of North-west Senegal.

This 1975 film, based on a book from the previous TUE year, is defined as a "watershed moment for sharks." From TUE being little thought about by most people sharks were TUE suddenly propelled into the lime light as fearsome, ruthless TUE killers whose intent was to harm us humans. An entertaining TUE film became the death warrant for millions of sharks. Our TUE terminology is not helpful. TUE TUE We find it impossible to speak about sharks without using TUE emotive language: seas are "infested," sharks "menace" they TUE "cruise around looking for a victim, they "invade" our TUE swimming beaches etc. Crooks are "loan sharks." TUE TUE In Hawaiian culture they are often seen as protectors or TUE brave fighters in battle. TUE TUE We have a difficult relationship with sharks. We have traded TUE their teeth and eaten their fins, so much so that millions TUE are now killed annually for this delicacy for the TUE aristocracy. Damien Hurst has tried to capture the fear of TUE the shark in his famous tank, allowing the viewer to stand TUE next to an open mouth without being in danger. We will TUE always be challenged by this supreme predator, if we allow TUE it to survive in the wild. TUE TUE 11:30 Minimal Impact b05xdcb7 (Listen) TUE Tailfins and Burgers TUE TUE The story of the musical aesthetic and the ubiquitous TUE technique of minimalism. TUE TUE It's now fifty years since the west coast American composer TUE Terry Riley wrote In C, a work that consisted of 53 short TUE musical phrases repeated at will. For New Yorker Steve TUE Reich, this offered a new kind of musical expression for a TUE post-war society of 'tailfins, Chuck Berry and millions of TUE burgers sold'. With origins as much in the art world and the TUE pop music industry as in the experimental musical philosophy TUE of John Cage, 'minimalism' slowly but incontrovertibly TUE assumed a dominant position in the musical landscape. TUE TUE In this American-inflected first episode, composers from TUE three generations - Steve Reich himself, Julia Wolfe of Bang TUE on a Can and Bryce Dessner, a composer and guitarist with TUE The National - consider the impact of the minimalist TUE aesthetic and the techniques it employed in the USA and TUE abroad, revealing a 'victory for the art school over the TUE music conservatoire'.

TUE TUE Rammohan Roy was part of an international set of radicals TUE and reformers attacking established religion and ruling TUE despots in the early 19th century, including the East India TUE Company. He urged Indians to judge their society and TUE behaviour by universal values at the very moment these TUE values were emerging in the Enlightenment West. "And ever TUE since Roy," Sunil Khilnani says, "Indians have been part of TUE the global argument about the nature of justice, rights and TUE freedom" TUE TUE He is best known for his advocacy for women and his TUE opposition to Sati, the Hindu rite in which widows died on TUE their husbands' funeral pyres. His campaign converged with TUE the birth of an international concern with human rights. TUE TUE With contributions from Nobel prize-winning economist TUE Amartya Sen and from the late Prof. Christopher Bayly, Sunil TUE Khilnani's examination of Rammohan Roy's life takes him from TUE the Sati ghats of Calcutta to a quiet cemetery on the TUE outskirts of Bristol, Roy's last resting place.

WED WED In this second of two programmes, Westminster Abbey, the WED Houses of Parliament, Guildhall, Spitalfields, Trafalgar WED Square and many other sites reveal how resisting the Sun WED King's military adventurism shaped Britain's parliamentary WED system and its economy. WED WED Swann tells the story of how the Dutch prince, William of WED Orange, assembled an invasion force to wrest the Catholic WED James II from the English throne. His main aim was to ensure WED Protestant England joined the alliance of European powers WED fighting Louis XIV. He achieved that objective, but at the WED price of surrendering key powers as joint-monarch to WED parliament. Thus, our constitutional monarchy was WED established, with parliament overseeing all key aspects of WED government policy. WED WED Finding the cash to fight the Sun King spawned the Bank of WED England. This was the vital instrument for ensuring, via the WED National Debt, that Britain's long-term fight against France WED could be afforded - all the way up to Waterloo. WED WED Swann also considers that the need to protect Britain's WED growing international trade from the threat of Louis XIV's WED France was a major factor in the development of empire, and WED that Britain's industrial revolution was a by-product of the WED innovation required to resist Louis XIV and his successors.

WED WED "The Rani was certainly no ordinary queen," he says of the WED woman who was listed by Time magazine as one of its 'Top Ten WED Badass Wives'. A typical day for Lakshmibai involved WED weightlifting, wrestling and steeplechasing - all before WED breakfast. Yet, despite her physical prowess, she was a WED reluctant rebel. She was drawn into the uprising only when WED the British annexed Jhansi after her husband died. The WED legend goes that, when the Rani's fort was under siege from WED the British, she mounted her horse, her young son holding on WED tight behind her, and leapt to freedom from the ramparts. WED WED The most iconic image of the Rani of Jhansi is at her last WED stand, in battle: again on horseback with her sword held WED high and the reins of her horse between her teeth. It's an WED image that evokes powerful Hindu goddesses like Kali and WED Durga. However, Sunil Khilnani argues that, by ascribing its WED heroines extra-human powers, supposedly to celebrate them, WED India is in fact denying the reality of women's experience.

According to Bentham, happiness is the THU means for assessing the utility of an act, declaring "it is THU the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the THU measure of right and wrong."

FRI FRI Prof. Sunil Khilnani profiles Birsa Munda, the young, FRI charismatic healer who led his tribal community in revolt FRI against the British and whose life, more than a century FRI after his death, poses the question: 'Who owns India?' FRI FRI Scattered across the subcontinent, India's tribal peoples or FRI Adivasis, match in size the populations of Germany or FRI Vietnam. Yet the land rights of India's original inhabitants FRI are regularly overridden in the name of development. One of FRI history's great defenders of Adivasi rights was Birsa Munda, FRI born in the late 19th century in what is now the FRI north-eastern state of Jharkhand. At a time of famine and FRI disease across northern India his community looked to the FRI Birsa for healing and leadership. The young man who claimed FRI he could turn bullets to water led a rebellion against the FRI British, their Indian middlemen and Christian missionaries. FRI FRI The question 'Who owns India' takes Sunil Khilnani to a FRI tribal community who are losing their land and access to FRI food, fuel and water with the growing encroachment of luxury FRI housing complexes - second homes for city dwellers. We also FRI hear from author and political activist Arundhati Roy. "The FRI fact that Adivasis still exist," she says, "is because FRI people like Birsa Munda staged the beginnings of the battle FRI against the takeover of their homeland. FRI FRI Though he died at the age of just 25, Birsa Munda has become FRI a lasting symbol of tribal resistance. He's the only Adivasi FRI whose portrait hangs in the Indian Parliament. "His was a FRI firework of a life," says Sunil Khilnani, "but a life whose FRI embers still burn".
