It is difficult to accept that Praful is no more. Two days back he passed away in Amsterdam, The Netherland. Now, who will spontaneously respond to right wing onslaught on the masses in these difficult times, both globally and within India?
I got to know Praful in 1974 in Mumbai in a meeting organised by the New Left group of young revolutionaries to which he belonged, when Com. Ernest…

Dear Professor Patel,
I'm a British teacher in Turin, Italy, and I recently joined the Gandhi-King community. A few years ago I read an excellent article by you in the India Together bulletin on women and mental illness, including a section on stages in recovery.
For the last 3 years, I've been helping a human rights website HURRARC.org, as an online volunteer for HURRARC, a human rights campaigning organisation in Sierra Leone, still recovering from civil war. At present I'm in touch with Meha Dixit, an Indian Phd. research student from Delhi University, who at the end of this month (Jan) will be visiting Sierra Leone for a month to study the country's tragic history of child soldiers. She is especially interested in their reintegration into normal life. If you have any suggestions or references, please contact her at mehadixit@gmail.com. From a woman's point of view I don't think the question concerns girl soldiers, but it concerns the girls and women who were often the main target of these child soldiers,
I'm also enclosing a pamphlet I have written on mental health, which I hope you may find
in solidarity
