Once upon a time we worshiped nature in all its avatars. It is the shift from this approach, to treating all of nature as a tradable resource, that represents violence in its worst form. Bittu Sahgal draws on over four decades of experience as an environmentalist and conservationist to argue that it is only humans who create violence that is unrelated to the need for food or other physical sustenance. 'Jungle Raj', says Bittu, means honoring the flow of nature. He reflects on how it is the younger generation who can teach adults on how to undo this structural violence by forging bonds of cooperation and mutuality with each other and with nature.
