The idea behind the conferences was to address the fundamental question: 'how to have violence-free transition to transformation so that the society remains peaceful, harmonious and happy'. The views of Shri Pranab Mukherjee, Shri Hamid Ansari, Dr. Manmohan Singh and Professor Murli Manohar Joshi and 16 other renowned scholars from diverse fields, contained in this book, have tried to address this greatest challenge to the contemporary society, economy and polity. In view of the exclusionary socio-cultural and politico-economic system, this book is an attempt to understand and debate the complexities of the above challenge. ER -
