OUR MEANING Documentation of the invisible wars can be extended to the lynching and burning and destruction of blacks, Amerindians, harijans, and other under-privileged minority citizens in the civilized socio-economic democratic systems. Should we still pursue in vain the age old metaphysical search for nirvana ? Or should we bring forth all knowledge, wisdom and science and technological know-how at creating such a reasoning and philosophical enlightenment among the people that instead of succumbing to the myth of karma, the hunjuri woman can find strength and determination to raise the cries of dharmayudha; that instead of jumping into the well of death hanjuri could muster strength to obtain all necessary elements from rich hoarders' godowns ; that instead of keeping her alive in prison. the society and magistrates could provide her with food, shelter, education and institution for rehabilitation ? And most urgently of all we would like, through PSA, to provide the hanjurian people with socio-economic and scientific analysis of realities rather than permitting them to be the victim of metaphysical myths. Through PSA we would like to revive the Socratic philosophical tradition of dialogue on an equal basis with students, workers, farmers and the common men. -Editorial, PSA, Vol. 1, No. 1Page Navigation
