Abstract

One of the many forms of illiteracy that we encounter around us is the lack of perception about processes of social change. Matching· this is a block against acknowledging the . validity of the life of people who are 'different'- who are' other'. Whether as social activists, as bureaucrats, as experts, or as consultants engaged in monitoring and reviewing programmes, we expect. the ultimate transformations as a result of the effort we are engaged in. We do not recognize that these efforts are merely elements in a larger process.
