Indigenous wisdom isn’t always readily accepted by so-called educated experts
Within the last few days, I have heard of the passing of someone who made a big impression on me when I was working with Oxfam, based in New Delhi. On one of my first field trips in 1972 or 1973, while visiting organizations which had applied to Oxfam for financial assistance, I visited the Lakshmi Ashram in Kausani in Uttarakhand, high in the Himalayan foothills at about 1,900 metres above sea level.
