In this captivating episode of The Gaslight Effect Podcast, Dr. Robin Stern is joined by <a href= "https://www.unanyc.org/ramu-damodaran">Ramu</a> <a href= "https://www.unanyc.org/ramu-damodaran">Damodaran</a> — esteemed diplomat, scholar, former Chief of the United Nations Academic Impact initiative, and a distinguished voice in global communications and public service. With a career that spans over four decades — including pivotal roles in the <a href= "https://www.unanyc.org/">United Nations</a> and the <a href= "https://www.mea.gov.in/indian-foreign-service.htm">Indian Foreign</a> <a href= "https://www.mea.gov.in/indian-foreign-service.htm">Service</a> — Ramu shares a profound and nuanced perspective on how gaslighting operates not only in personal relationships but also at the highest levels of diplomacy, media, and global policy. He unpacks how narratives are shaped, distorted, and contested on the world stage — and how individuals and institutions alike must navigate these complex dynamics in the pursuit of truth. Ramu reflects on his time as Executive Assistant to the Prime Minister of India, as Chief Editor of the <a href= "https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/">UN Chronicle</a>, and as founding head of the <a href= "https://www.un.org/en/academicimpact/">United Nations Academic</a> <a href= "https://www.un.org/en/academicimpact/">Impact</a>, a global initiative launched at the request of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to bridge academia and international policymaking. His career has also included peacekeeping assignments, human rights advocacy, and work as a television and radio journalist — all of which inform his thoughtful insights on the power of language, perception, and responsibility.
