Wisdom Song: The Life of Baba Amte
Author: Neesha Mirchandani
Publisher: Roli Books Private Limited
ISBN: 9351940624
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Born into privilege and wealth, Murlidhar Devidas Amte was a maverick who wanted to live life to the fullest. He realized early on that he had to live, not for himself, but for others - or else all his privilege, position and superior personal qualities would be mere tinsel. The pioneering commune at Anandwan, where those affected by leprosy could live with dignity and pride; the Bharat Jodo marches across the length and breadth of India to promote national unity and harmony; the decade-long vigil by the Narmada river in solidarity with those at the receiving end of state-sponsored environmental devastation - Baba Amte did this and much more, coping the whole time with a crippling spinal degenerative disease. The countless lives transformed by three generations of the Amte family are shining testimonials to the magnitude of Baba Amte's vision, and the indomitable spirit that made that vision real. With in-depth conversations with Baba, and interviews with many of his close friends and family, this biography is equally a record of the collective memory of those who have known him best. What emerges is an intimate portrait of one of the few individuals of our times who have embodied the cherished ideals of compassion and selfless service.

Famous Indian Social Reformers

Publisher: K.K. Publications
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Famous Indian Social Reformers Any society consists of diverse and different types of persons; persons with different religions, different castes, different colours, different gender and different faiths etc. And it is expected that they all should live in harmony and without discrimination; an ideal situation is when there is equality, freedom and brotherhood among all sections of society. However, human society all over the world shows that various types of exploitative practices are prevalent there; these practices originated due to human greed for power, authority and superiority; such as so-called higher caste people would exploit so-called lower caste persons; a white would exploit a black; males would like to dominate females; believer of one religion would downgrade other religions etc. These discriminatory and exploitative practices take the form of social evils in the long run and become a scar on the face of any civilized society. Every country, in its history, has had numerous bright individuals who would live and work for the progress and upliftment of the downtrodden persons in the society; and due to their efforts, it became possible to abolish several extreme social evils such as Sati Pratha, Parda Pratha, Jati Pratha and Bal Vivah etc. India is fortunate to have, in its long history, many extraordinary human beings who devoted all their lives for the betterment of society and for the upliftment of the downtrodden. A few among them are Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, , Ram Mohan Roy, Vinoba Behave, Mother Teresa and Kailash Satyarthi etc. These social reformers have fought against several social evils such as Sati Pratha ( A custom in which a woman immolates herself on her husband's funeral pyre), Pardha Pratha (Veil System), Jati Pratha (Casteism), Bal Vivah (Child Marriage), female infanticide, widow remarriage, a ban on female education, and child labour etc. In India, social reforms did not ordinarily mean a reorganization of the structuring of society at a large, as it did in the west, for the benefit of underprivileged social and economic classes. Instead, it means the infusion into the existing social structure of the new ways of life and thought; the society would be pre-served, while its members would be transformed. In this book, We will look into the life and works of these extraordinary men and women and will appreciate their efforts in the making of today's India.

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Leprosy has tormented mankind since records began. For much of its long history it was without cure--a disfiguring disease that stigmatized those it affected, isolating them from society. Today there is an effective treatment, but the last mile to achieve a leprosy-free world is the hardest. Now approaching eighty years old, one Japanese philanthropic activist has played a key role in global efforts against leprosy, both as head of a private foundation and as the World Health Organization's 'Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination'. In this book, he lays out his personal mission and philosophy, and explains how his father, the politician and philanthropist Ryoichi Sasakawa, influenced his decision to make leprosy elimination his life's work. Yohei Sasakawa has visited more than 100 countries, motivating political leaders, raising awareness via the media, encouraging frontline health workers, and helping to empower persons affected by leprosy and their families to speak out for their rights. His book is a validation of the path taken by a father and son to change the course of leprosy history, and to transform the circumstances of those affected by the disease for the better.
