I happend to watch the YouTube video shared by the Krishnamurti Foundation India’s Centre for Continuing Dialogue 2021 Talk : Dr Vandana Shiva. A friend of mine messaged – profound words – after watching the video and I would definitely agree with her.

Her thoughts on technological Barons who rule our lives through data and her concern regarding the data mining that has eventually handicapped us from understanding our own sensibilities and our consciousness got me thinking seriously about the truth behind those words.

Her references to the landslides in India across different time periods and the reason for landlines being hydroelectric projects were interesting. She touched on burning issues like the patenting of seeds by corporates, organic farmer, Punjab revolution of 1984 against Green Revolution and the aftermath of the revolution. She gently pointed out the similarities between the farmer protest in Delhi to the 1857 peasant movement against the East India Company. Finally,her parting words : De- industrialize and thrive – are not to be missed.

So, don’t miss this too.
