...a human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to become happy, last but not least, __through actualizing the potential meaning inherent and dormant in a given situation.__

Man's Search for Meaning

Frankl, Viktor

We need to insist on debating the central questions on which the future of our people rests: How can social and economic equality be achieved even while markets are nurtured? How can India’s pluralism be defended against majoritarian assaults? How can public services better and more accountably deliver quality health, education and social security to poor people? How can we defend human rights and dignity in areas where oppressed people or social minorities are battling the Indian state and big industry? How can all young people be assured jobs and hope?

Looking Away

Harsh Mander

We start from the assumption that no keyword (in Raymond Williams' sense, 1977) has a fixed or necessary meaning – not even ‘public’. The language of publicness is currently highly mobile, or unfixed. We can see it being recruited to, and positioned in, different chains of meaning in which it takes on new associations – for example, public sphere, public culture, public places, public interest, public safety, public scrutiny, public value.
