| Introduction | I am a new farmer and an old writer-researcher trying to combine the two interests at a farm at Sawantwadi in southern Maharashtra, near Goa. Earlier, I ran the experimental Bodhshala School at SIDH, Mussoorie; it was a means of exploring, understanding, what is relevant education, and the havoc caused by modern schooling. Prior to that, I had the opportunity to observe the media closely, and I am keen to explore its relationship to distortions of modernity and the impending crisis of 'development'. The issues addressed are important, relevant and useful for us to be able to transform into a humane society; I approach them with that spirit of learning. |
