What I have seen are some fairly clear statements on the standpoints, perspectives, qualities etc of lokvidya,such as that all knowledge should have equal validity irrespective of their locations in society, etc. This may therefore be the time to go a little further and try to actually define, characterise and illustrate the concept of Lokvidya more concretely with examples where ever possible,as well as illuminate the relationship between Lokvidya and organised knowledge, etc. I am aware that this may not be a simple thing to do at all,and that such an understanding and definition would have to be evolved through discussions and so on. But if such a thing can be initiated through these columns leading onto a concrete enunciation (and illustrations if possible) of Lokvidya, that should certainly help in achieving greater clarity on it, as well as mobilising greater support for it.C N Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435681951938317097noreply@blogger.com
