Chandi Prasad Bhatt: The Pioneer of Environmental Movements in India - Kesiraju Sanskruthi 2 DIRECTOR'S NOTE In the words of Mark Twain, “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”. Any society which does not reflect and critique the fixed notions, is bound to stagnate. Critical analysis and deconstruction; reflecting with different perspectives always leads to marvelous explorations in the way we understand our society. The articles in this book are an attempt to understand the lives of people in contemporary India, through the perspective of Satyagraha. There is an attempt to reflect on the concept of Satyagrahis, only to discover that the concept of Satya or truth is extremely deep, beyond our surficial understanding. At the heart of our University's vision is "Excellence.”. Excellence can be obtained only when the mind is given a chance to think freely; not when it is enslaved by a rigid framework.
