ANTHROPOLOGY SNIPPET-244 (Welcome To Vishnu IAS online ) (Research and Training Institute for the best civil services preparation in India) http://vishnuias.com/ 1 G. Lavanam: Fighting for Independence as a Boy and Uplifting Tribals as a Man! The late Mr Lavanam was honoured with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award in the category of ‘Constructive Work’. Mr Lavanam was a dynamic social activist. The son of Mrs Gora, who was an atheist and received Gandhiji’s recognition and respect, he was born to Brahmin parentage but married Hemalata, a Dalit girl, at a time when untouchability was highly prevalent. He did not seek a bread-winning job and 2 accepted voluntary poverty along with his parents. Hemlata was also actively involved in the welfare of women and has established and managed schools for underprivileged girls. In the year 2009, the late Mr Lavanam was honoured with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award in the category of ‘Constructive Work’. Mr Lavanam was interested in social work since he was 12. His earliest work was as a young volunteer in the Independence movement, when he acted as a courier, clandestinely passing messages to leaders. Subsequently, he was in Mahatma Gandhiji’s Ashram in Sevagram where he received basic training in Gandhian Philosophy of social work. He later worked with his father – who would conduct night classes in Dalit colonies and also organise social events where “untouchables” and upper caste people dined together. He imbibed the spirit of this kind of Gandhian activism from his father.

Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Volume 98
1. GIVE AND TAKE1 A Sindhi sufferer writes: At this critical time when thousands of our countrymen are leaving their ancestral homes and are pouring in from Sind, the Punjab and the N. W. F. P., I find that there is, in some sections of the Hindus, a provincial spirit. Those who are coming here suffered terribly and deserve all the warmth that the Hindus of the Indian Union can reasonably give. You have rightly called them dukhi,2 though they are commonly called sharanarthis. The problem is so great that no government can cope with it unless the people back the efforts with all their might. I am sorry to confess that some of the landlords have increased the rents of houses enormously and some are demanding pagri. May I request you to raise your voice against the provincial spirit and the pagri system specially at this time of terrible suffering? Though I sympathize with the writer, I cannot endorse his analysis. Nevertheless I am able to testify that there are rapacious landlords who are not ashamed to fatten themselves at the expense of the sufferers. But I know personally that there are others who, though they may not be able or willing to go as far as the writer or I may wish, do put themselves to inconvenience in order to lessen the suffering of the victims. The best way to lighten the burden is for the sufferers to learn how to profit by this unexpected blow. They should learn the art of humility which demands a rigorous self-searching rather than a search of others and consequent criticism, often harsh, oftener undeserved and only sometimes deserved.

He was the eldest son of his parents. His father was a wealthy Brahmin landowner of Wardha district, who owned over 450 acres of good cultivable land. The name 'Baba' was affectionately given by his parents. At a very young age, Baba Amte owned a gun and used to hunt wild boar and deer. Later, he went on to own an expensive sports car, cushioned with panther skin. He studied Law and started a lucrative practice in Wardha, but was moved by distressed condition of the poor and downtrodden classes of society. Then he relinquished his ceremonial dress and started working with the rag- pickers and sweepers for some time in Chandrapura district. Later, he resumed practicing but as a "defence lawyer" for the leaders imprisoned in the 1942 Quit India movement. Amte, like Vinoba Bhave was deeply influenced by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.

Bio-Medicals, Better and Intensive Farming, Bio-Energy, Soil and Water Conservation, Etc
Dr. Manibhai Bhimbhai Desai Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Application of Science and Technology for Rural Development-1983 Dr. Manibhai Bhimbahi Desai has distinguished himself in his chosen field of rural development based on modern and scientific lines. He was born in 1920. He actively participated in the Quit India Movement of 1942 and underwent imprisonment for one year. In 1946, as instructed by Mahatma Gandhi, he moved to the Nature Cure Ashram at Urulikanchan situated near Pune in Maharashtra. The Ashram had been set up by Gandhiji with the objective of fighting the rural problems of poverty, illiteracy, ill-health and disease. Ever since joining the Ashram, Manibhai has stuck faithfully to his task, with a life-long commitment. His association with Gandhiji was the most important single event in Manibhai's life, as it gave direction to his work, moulded his thought and has been a source of perennial inspiration to him. It was Manibhai's conviction that India's rural problems can be solved only if modern scientific knowledge and professional competence are harnessed alongwith individual commitment to task. He adopted the approach of integrated development, which blended together elements like improvement in agriculture, upgrading of cattle, setting up of agro-industries and achieving better health standards. Manibhai carried out a number of innovative and pioneering projects and experiments. These were in the fields of breeding and cross-breeding of cattle, development of barren lands, better utilization of scarce water resources, application of new techniques and new seed materials in farming, horticulture and fodder development. Dr Desai promoted a number of institutions and organizations for the benefit of rural people.

1. May the Old Man Live for a Hundred Years1 2. Fragment of Letter to Jivanji D. Desai
1. MAY THE OLD MAN LIVE FOR A HUNDRED YEARS1 [January 18, 1934]2 You would add to the glory of Gujarat and its people by cele- brating the eighty-first birthday of Abbas Saheb. No one can compete with Abbas Saheb in zeal, self-sacrifice and generosity. I came in contact with him during the inquiry regarding the Punjab Martial Law. Knowing that he belonged to the Tyabji family and had been a Congress worker for a long time, I suggested his name for the Committee. Though a staunch Mussalman, he can live with a staunch Hindu like his own bloodbrother. Among such Hindus I am as one of his family. His secrets are not unknown to me. Everyone in his family contributes to the national service according to his or her capacity. May the old man live for a hundred years! [From Gujarati] Gujarati, 28-1-1934 2. FRAGMENT OF LETTER TO JIVANJI D. DESAI January 18, 1934 PS. I was forgetting one thing completely. I cannot give the right decision on the question of closing of the Prakashan Mandir. The matter was discussed in my presence. I had expressed the view that, if some people took up the task of propagating Gandhi literature, we could leave it to them and let those who wished to court arrest do so. We do not wish to stop anyone from courting arrest so that we can carry on the work of publication. But the converse of this also may be worth considering. We can decide about that only after taking into account all the relevant factors.
