Submitted by Tom Schuller on October 18, 2019 - 03:48

Derivations of words throw up some significant curiosities.  I knew that a pedagogue was originally someone who led a child around, including to school.  The term then took a professional turn, to refer to the specialised function of instructing children. But I had never noticed the – to me now rather obvious – etymological similarity between pedagogue and synagogue.

Submitted by Budd Hall on September 24, 2019 - 06:49

18 Sept 2019, New Delhi – “Concepts such as the non-violent economy and non-violent governance must replace the present development paradigm modelled on war, crime and violence. There is a lot of research, innovation and investment in the war industry. There is a need to bring the same into non-violence", said Dr PV Rajagopal, eminent Gandhian practitioner, speaking at the international conference on “Educating the Heart, Body and Mind” held in New Delhi.
