Society /Sexuality
       
       
        Sudhir Kakar is a psychoanalyst who has written extensively on the 
        Indian psyche. In his spare time, which is now becoming his main interest,

Social Landscapes
       
        Samita Sen, Historian, Feminist, Teacher, Activist and Researcher. A
        Presidency College, Calcutta University product with a Cambridge 
        doctorate topping. Nurturing, predictably, a serious weakness for  Tagore
        and Rabindrasangeet. Yet always a little out of place. Always on the look
        out for new and different ideas. A little bad, greatly mad but never too 
        ugly.
       
 
       
       
       
     
     
     
     
     
       
     
                               
Art, Sculpture & Architecture
       
        Sudha Seshadri  is post graduate in Microbiology whose love for India and
        her art and culture came to the fore while working with Marg Publications.
        After over twenty years of editing and reading on various aspects of 
        Indian art she still finds awe, inspiration, beauty, passion and poetry in 
        the heritage of the sub continent. To her India is like the tree of life and 
        getting to know her is magic.
                           
 
       
       
       
     
     
     
     
     
       
        
                              
Dance
                    Ashish Khokar's genes are infused with blood of Bharatanatyam married to
        courtly etiquettes of Kathak. Sired by pioneer dance scholar Mohan Khokar
        and born to veteran dancer M.K.Saroja, he was exposed to dance early on.
        As an Arts-Administrator he handled Festivals of India in France, Sweden,
        Germany and China. While he is considered an important voice in dance, he
        considers dance to be more important. He is responsible now for India's
        largest dance collection created by his father.

Cinema
         Bhaskar Ghose was in Civil Service for 36 years doing a variety of jobs, but
         his heart was always in the theater and in watching films of all kinds. He's
         directed and acted in over 45 plays and has scripted and presented a television
         show on films for the last four years. At the moment he's planning on directing
         another play, seeing as many films as he can, helping set up the School for
         Creative Arts and Aesthetics in Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, and teaching
         a course on The International Media Scenario at Lady Shriram College,
         New Delhi. In short, he's enjoying himself.
 
       
       
       
     
     
     
     
     
       
                                  
     
                                              
Environment & Ecology
                                   Darryl D'Monte is either described as a journalist or an environmentalist, but
         prefers to think of himself as an environmental journalist. He was Resident
         Editor of the "Indian Express" and "The Times of India" in Mumbai. He heads
         the Forum of Environmental Journalists of India and is President of the
         International Federation of Environmental Journalists. He is often genuinely
         confused as to whether to support people's causes or preserve the natural
         environment and is generally caught in between.
