The ‘Mitti Pao’ podcast is at its very core, a gupshup session over a cup of chai. Hosted by two Punjabis, or if you prefer the neologisms, an Indian and a Pakistani, it is an attempt to talk about life and its absurdity on both sides of the Radcliffe line. Here, we take a dig at the very serious analysis that serious analysts do in serious places like newspapers, television and conferences. Our aim here is not to ‘shed light’, nor do we think ourselves capable of doing so. Rather, in the spirit of our title, we treat our conversation as a means to make sure you know lesser than you did

Episode 3: Taraqqi kee tareeki: What South Asia Gets Wrong About The Environment - Part 1
As the world celebrates World Environment Day, we take a closer look at how Pakistan subverts the environmentalist paradigm with climate change expert Fatima Yamin. We learn why environmental conservation is so poorly misunderstood and badly managed in favor of our aspirations towards development (taraqqi) for betterment (Khushhaali), when in reality, these very aspirations are threatening to regress our lives and incite conflict both within the country, as well as the region.
Podcast Hosts: Usman Zafar, Amit Julka
Guest: Fatima Yamin

جون کو عالمی ماحولیاتی دن منایا جا رہا ہے۔ موسمی تبلیلی کا بحران پوری دنیا کے لیے ایک آزمائش ہے۔ لیکن کیا پاکستان اس بحران کو سنجیدگی سے لے رہا ہے؟ کیا اس موضوع پر ہمارے طرزِ بیان میں اصلاح کی ضرورت ہے؟ کیا ہم نے ترقی اور خوشحالی کے نام پر ماحولی بدلاؤ اور اس کے نقصانات کو نظر انداز کر دیا ہے؟ اس موضوع پر ہم گفتگو کریں گے ماحولیاتی ماہر فاطمہ یمین سے۔
