Ahimsa Conversations is an online forum for a wide range of reflections on the possibilities of nonviolence. The Conversations feature activists, ecologists, scholars, philosophers, politicians and people from the world of business sharing their experiences and ideas about their experiments with nonviolence. In this Webinar, the eminent scholars will critically contextualize this attempt to widen the space for Ahimsa in the public discourse. Based on their own intensive experiences with the striving for nonviolence, Dr. Nandy and Prof. Jahanbegloo will explore what challenges and difficult questions must be addressed through Ahimsa Conversations going forward.
