I Have A Dream

The violent times we live in call for all of us to explore new ways for reflection and action in the cause of peace and a better world. Orient BlackSwan has always promoted the cause of peace, non-violence, and a respect and compassion for humanity and the environment through our books. The values in this book and the values that went behind it’s creation dovetail perfectly with our beliefs.

Beautiful words, beautiful thoughts, put together by a fine person an apostle of peace and non-violence in some of the hardest times in his country; a person inspired in deed by Mahatma Gandhi.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are people that we hope children will look up to in the trying times that have followed the horrific attacks on Mumbai city in November 2008. Less than two months after the attacks, children from schools across Mumbai were encouraged to put their thoughts down on paper,after the concept of non-violent conflict resolution was explained to them.

This book contains excerpts from these outpourings and dreams.
