An Indian Forum from the front lawn of the Diggi Palace in Raipur's city centre: greed and envy, medicine in the slums, and advantages of being Nepali.
This week's Forum comes from the northern state of Rajasthan in India where we are guests of the Jaipur Literature Festival.
We are on an open-air stage in front of over a thousand people, all listening intently and eager to chip in as we juggle the moral dilemmas of living in today's India.
Illustration by Emily Kasriel: The Mahabharata connecting us so that we learn how to be good and heal the sick in Nepal.
