A book titled “Development as Swaraj: Towards a Sustainable and Equitable Future” was released in the city recently and underlines the imperatives of political decentralisation and economic self-sufficiency in establishing an exploitation-free social order.
The author Sumanas Koulagi whose PhD from the University of Success, UK was on a similar theme, spoke about how the book evolved and was an outcome of a decade long quest for answers to the questions on means to reduce disparity in society, to conserve wilderness and even on the metaphysical questions on the meaning or purpose of the impermanent life.
The book release held at the Ideal Jawa Rotary School had panelists A.R. Vasavi, a social anthropolgist, Deepak Malghan, ecological economist, IIMB, and M.S. Sriram, centre for Public Policy, IIMB who threw light on the issues grappled by the author while dealing with the subject.
