Críticas

"More than four decades after one of the world s most impressive community-development efforts began, we can finally examine the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement in historical, cultural and political contexts. George Bond s book offers an excellent perspective on how the premises and practices of Sarvodaya evolved over time." "Provides hard-to-find details about the last 20 years of the momement and compares its construction of Buddhism with Buddhist nationalism and fundamentalism." "A must read." "Offers contemporary readers a moving testimony to the positive power of collective will and labor." "Bond gives a clear message of a people's pathway to environmental health, social peace and a poverty-free global society." "A work of considerable comparative value for assessing the interface between religion and politics and religion and economics in the developing world."
