Friends, this article, based on the recently concuded 'Indigenous and Community Worldviews Vikalp Sangam' (Alternatives Confluence) in southern India, may be of interest. The gathering involved members of several Adivasi (Indigenous)/pastoral/farmer/Dalit groups from various parts of India, and discussions included themes like governance, ecology, inter-generational learning, faiths/spiritual traditions, story-telling, forest/ecosystem rights, etc. Given the continued failure of nation-states in resolving the most pressing problems we face, including climate/ecological collapse, inequality and exploitation, war and conflict, the urgency of listening to worldviews of such peoples is greater than ever. https://www.meer.com/en/71355-a-clash-of-worldviews Comments are welcome, pl. mail me *directly and not on the lists,* unless you want to initiate a conversation on one of these lists. apologies for cross-posting if any ashish -- Ashish Kothari New, for post-COVID dignified livelihoods in India!
