Documentary Becoming Geshema by Malati Rao spotlights the nuns' challenge in the monastic order
Namdol Phuntshok remembers carrying around rose beads and wearing only 'red or yellow' so that her parents would understand her 'calling' to become a nun. The young girl–when she failed to convince her parents–began feeling lonely and misunderstood, and fell into depression. Considering her health, when Phuntshok's parents took her to a Lama, a spiritual guide in Tibetan Buddhism, he advised them to let her follow her path. 'My parents were reluctant but were obliged to follow the Lama's advice,' says Phuntshok, who later became one of the first nuns to receive the highest honour of 'Geshema'. Phuntshok narrates her story in the documentary, The Geshema Is Born, directed by Malati Rao. The film highlights the discrimination nuns face under ancient Tibetan Buddhist rules and patriarchy. Fight for equality In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, to graduate as a Geshe (Geshema, for nuns) means to create a karmic imprint for rebirth in the mythic kingdom of Shambhala. The word 'Geshe', literally refers to 'the one who knows virtue'. In the film, dressed in red robes, the nuns are seen chanting prayers in monasteries, debating, studying, and performing daily chores. Some wear a special yellow robe, reserved for scholarly nuns. The film also tells the stories of nuns fleeing Tibet to escape Chinese oppression. 'Ill-prepared to walk the high mountains,' with blistered feet, they remember begging to survive. 'Somehow, we reached Nepal, and then finally to India. Many perished on the way,' one of them recalls. As shown in the documentary, the eight monastic rules in Buddhism subordinate nuns to monks in all matters. Tibetan Buddhist nuns have long fought against these outdated traditions. The participation of women in Buddhism dates back to the time of the Buddha in the 5th century BCE. Despite a highly patriarchal society, women were recognised as equally capable of attaining spiritual enlightenment. They were allowed to ordain as full monastics, equal to men, and many became respected teachers who ran their own independent nunneries. However, over centuries, Buddhism took different forms across Asia. In many communities, women were no longer allowed to ordain as novices or full monastics (bhikkhunis), and their lineages disappeared. But in some countries like Taiwan and South Korea, full ordination of women continues. The 'Geshema' title–equivalent to a Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) in Buddhist philosophy–was officially approved for Tibetan Buddhist nuns in 2012. The degree is earned after a minimum of 21 years of extensive study of Buddhist texts, and training. The film, The Geshema Is Born, was screened during the event, Women & Buddhism - Films and Discussion, at the India International Centre (IIC) on Thursday (July 10). Another documentary, White Robes, Saffron Dreams–directed by Teena Gill–was also featured during the event. It was followed by a discussion by panelists including historian Uma Chakravarati, sociologist Renuka Singh, Tibetan monastic Kaveri Gill, and Zen teacher Shantum Seth.

AAIB releases preliminary Air India crash report: 'Raises more questions than it answers,' say experts; call for fuel switch probe
NEW DELHI: Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) on early Saturday released its preliminary report into the tragic crash of Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 aircraft that went down shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on 12 June. The disaster, which claimed 260 lives including 229 passengers, 12 crew, and 19 people on the ground unfolded within 90 seconds of takeoff. According to the report, both engines shut down moments after liftoff, following a near-simultaneous movement of fuel control switches from 'RUN' to 'CUTOFF'. The flight data recorder revealed a chilling exchange between the pilots, with one asking, 'Why did you cut off?' and the other replying, 'I did not.' The crash has raised urgent questions over whether a technical fault, human error, or a combination of factors was responsible. While the AAIB has yet to assign blame, it has ruled out bird strikes or external damage. Also read: Cockpit audio reveals pilots' confusion over mid-air fuel cutoff - 10 key points from AAIB preliminary report As investigations continue, aviation experts and former pilots have weighed in on the report's findings, here's what they are saying: 'Raises more questions than it answers' Aviation expert Sanjay Lazar said the report had notable gaps. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo by Taboola by Taboola 'The AAIB report raises more questions than it answers. There are a lot of gaps, which might be filled once the investigation goes further,' he told ANI. Also read: Boeing says it 'continues to support probe'; after AAIB releases preliminary report outlining final moments He also questioned how the US media obtained report details before the Indian public. 'How was the US media alerted three days ago… something does seem correct here.' Lazar also criticised the decision to only partially release the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) transcript: 'By just informing the public about one line, it leaves a lot of questions hanging… I do not believe it was appropriate for the AAIB to have said in the last line of the report that there are no safety recommendations for Boeing or General Electric. That means that you have washed your hands or you have decided that there is something else. ' 'Why did the engines fail?' Retired Air Marshal Sanjeev Kapoor expressed strong reservations about the report's clarity. 'The preliminary report... leaves many doubts in my opinion. Why did the engines fail? The pilot has given a Mayday call, which is given by the pilot when there is a grave emergency.' He told ANI that the activation of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) suggested total power loss: 'RAT indicates that both the complete electricals and the complete engines have failed.' Citing the Boeing 787 manual, he explained: 'When both engines have been cut off, the levers must be manually moved to restart… and in this short period after giving the Mayday call, they have tried to restart the engine.' 'It says a lot of points that don't add up' Founder and CEO of Martin Consulting, Mark D Martin, raised concerns about the clarity and technical depth of the AAIB's preliminary report. 'It is the initial report, and it is quite cryptic in many ways. It says a lot of points that don't add up,' he said. Pointing to inconsistencies, he added, 'If there was an engine failure, that is only when the RAT deploys… There is only one course to restart the engine.' Martin also flagged past incidents of fuel cutoff switches tripping, adding, 'It could have been one of the reasons for this incident.' 'Important to follow the engine sequence' Captain Umang N Jani, Head of the Aviation Department at Indus University, said the report points to a fuel cutoff as the immediate trigger. 'It mentions fuel cut off. When the fuel supply stops, both engines stop working, and then the type of incident that happened is possible,' he told ANI. 'When you start the engine, there is a complete sequence. It is important to follow that sequence, and this system automatically follows this entire sequence.' Acknowledging that the report is only preliminary, Jani said further investigations could provide more insight. 'It is possible that we may get to see more information and more details in it,' he added. 'Several factors will be seen in this' Captain Prashant Dhalla, former Flight Operations Inspector with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), said the crash cannot be explained by one variable alone. 'There are many aspects that the government and the agencies look into. The report will be divided into many phases,' he said. 'If we go by the minute details, then the conversation of the pilots, their flying hours, what was mentioned about the engine, and what procedure was followed by them.' He also pointed out that restarting a fuel-cut engine is a complex process, particularly under time pressure. 'The system of restarting the fuel cutoff is a process where the pilot tries to regain the power in the engine… The time was also very critical; in that moment they tried connecting with the ATC also. They were very experienced pilots.' 'Rumours put to rest, but more probing needed' Retired Captain and aviation expert Alok Singh welcomed the investigation being conducted domestically but raised concerns about the technical cause. 'It is a fact-finding report and it has put some rumours to rest,' he said. 'CVR recording has clearly established that the pilots did not turn off fuel switches. A technical malfunction seems more likely.' He praised the government's decision to conduct the probe within India: 'A relief to the victims and their family is that a fair probe is being conducted.' However, he cautioned against premature conclusions: 'There was an advisory on the malfunction of these switches... That angle also needs to be probed.' 'Fuel cutoff gives direction to investigation' Former commercial pilot and YouTuber Gaurav Taneja (popularly known as Flying Beast) said the report gives important leads but must be read with caution. 'It basically revealed what actually happened that day? What was the aircraft, defects, pilot experience and other stuff? But the actual reason behind the accident will only be revealed once the final report comes…' He added, 'The report talks a little bit about fuel cut off. Because there itself a direction has been given to this investigation.' 'Engine failure clearly indicated' Commercial pilot and BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy noted that the aircraft had reached rotation speed when the crisis began. 'The aircraft ran up to a speed that is required for takeoff… 180 knots, which is a good acceleration speed,' he said. 'Possibly after that… deployment of RAT has happened, and the APU, auxiliary power unit, has started operations… This automatically happens when there is a twin-engine failure.' He said the switches were found back in the 'ON' position post-crash: 'The pilot monitoring the situation immediately puts the fuel switch control off and on. After the crash, both switches were found on.' 'Report biased towards pilot error': Airline Pilots' Association The Airline Pilots' Association of India has strongly objected to the report's tone, claiming it leans unfairly towards pilot error. 'The tone and direction of the investigation suggest a bias toward pilot error. We categorically reject this presumption and insist on a fair, fact-based inquiry,' the body said. It also questioned the lack of transparency: 'The report was leaked to the media without any responsible official signature or attribution… Qualified, experienced personnel, especially line pilots, are still not being included in the investigation team.' Also read: 'Bias towards pilot error': Pilots' association slams AI crash report What is the use of defaming anyone now? Kin of crew Reacting to the AAIB's preliminary report, the father of Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma — a crew member who died in the 12 June crash — shared his family's anguish. 'Now whatever was to happen has happened. What is the use of defaming anyone now?' he said. 'Every day, we think that our daughter will come back home any minute. The whole family is in grief. What can we say about what happened to the flight? All we knew was that our daughter works in Air India, and runs our house. ..' 'Wait for final report': Govt Minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol has urged restraint in interpreting the report. 'This is not the final report. Until the final report comes out, we should not arrive at any conclusion. AAIB is an autonomous authority, and the ministry does not interfere in their work,' Mohol said.

Like a lost love returning after decades, Wular Lake's 'miraculous' lotus bloom leaves Kashmir teary-eyed
After nearly three decades, the pink lotus flowers have returned to Wular Lake in north Kashmir, bringing joy to both nature lovers and local residents. This revival comes thanks to dedicated conservation efforts after the 1992 floods damaged the lake's ecosystem and buried its famous lotus beds under thick layers of silt. Wular Lake, one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes, spans 200 square kilometres and stretches from the foothills of the Haramukh mountains in Bandipora to Sopore in Baramulla district. Once known for its rich biodiversity, the lake lost much of its charm after the 1992 floods, which deposited huge amounts of silt and wiped out the lotus plants. Abdul Hameed, a local resident, called the comeback 'nothing short of a miracle.' He said locals had tried dispersing lotus seeds earlier but they never grew due to the heavy silt. That changed when the Wular Conservation and Management Authority (WUCMA) started a massive desilting drive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 이 게임은 대부분의 TV 프로그램보다 더 재미있어요 – 게다가 무료예요. Raid: Shadow Legends 플레이하기 Undo According to Mudasir Ahmad, zonal officer at WUCMA, last year showed small signs of lotus revival. In 2025, the authority used special machines called Cutter Suction Dredgers to clear silt and improve water quality. This year, they also planted lotus seeds, which led to a fresh bloom covering nearly 3 square kilometres of the lake. Chief Conservator of Forests, Irfan Rasool, said the return of lotuses proves that the lake's ecological health is improving. Over 80 lakh cubic metres of silt have been removed so far. This not only restored the lake's depth and water-holding capacity but also allowed sunlight to reach the lakebed, helping dormant lotus roots grow again. Live Events The return of lotus plants has sparked new hope for the local economy. The edible stems of lotus, known as nadru in Kashmir, are a popular delicacy and a major source of income for many families. 'Nadru was missing for many years. Now we can grow and harvest it again,' said Mudasir Ahmad. The harvesting process is labour-intensive and involves diving into the water, but it provided seasonal work to hundreds in the past. Locals are now hopeful that the economy around the lake will thrive again. The revival of lotus plants is not the only good news. With better water quality and increased depth, the lake has become home to a wider range of aquatic life. WUCMA officials say several rare migratory birds have returned in the past two years. These include species like the Long-tailed Duck, Smew Duck, Great Bittern, Marbled Teal, and even the endangered Pallas's Fish-eagle. Locals like Hameed are urging people to keep the lake clean and protect its fragile biodiversity. 'We lost this beauty once because of our mistakes. We shouldn't let that happen again,' he said. As Wular Lake blossoms again with pink lotuses and birdsong, it stands as a reminder of what strong conservation efforts and community support can achieve. Inputs from PTI
