About me

I am a cultural Anthropologist and have worked in rural areaas in India since the end of 1958 for close to 22 years scattered over 6these 50 odd years. I am very concerned about both food security isssues, issues of land reform (now mostly abandoned), caste injustices, and how all opf these affewct and are effected by the environmental changes going on.

My Green Mission

My green mission is to spread the word both in US and India about how small farming can feed the world even when we have 7 billion, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and how important the fight currently going on in the US is for the world. I refer to the Occupy Wall Street stuff.
