The session examined the central contradictions between human existence and ecological inequality, highlighting how pollution is not merely an environmental concern but also a historically constituted condition shaped by social and developmental processes.

Prof. Rao explored the philosophical concepts of 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶, examining how different religious traditions understand nature and the relationship between human beings and their surroundings. He also discussed the influence of colonialism on human-nature relationships and the complexities of development, highlighting the benefits and trade-offs that often accompany progress. Drawing attention to the distinct experiences of tribal and Adivasi communities, he emphasised the importance of understanding their perspectives separately. The discussion also touched upon the role of the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗹 (𝗡𝗚𝗧) in addressing environmental disputes and its limitations in tackling wider ecological challenges. The session encouraged participants to look beyond conventional environmental concerns and recognise the historical, cultural and social factors shaping the relationship between human societies and the natural world.

Prof. N Sudhakar Rao was felicitated by Prof. Vishnupad, Dean, ESLA, along with Dr Bikku R, Head of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Convenor of the lecture.
