Nonviolence is the quest for harmony in the family and in the economy. Uzramma speaks about her experience of fostering nonviolent economic structures that empower cotton growers and handloom weavers. She is the co-founder of the Decentralized Cotton Yarn Trust and the Malkha Trust, organizations that have initiated small-scale field-to-fabric cotton processing which enables  each region to produce its own special fabric from cotton grown in its own back yard. Here she talks about how this encourages both mutual respect and collaboration among producers and thus social harmony. She also reflects on the long history of decentralized economic systems in India which were undermined by colonialism and modern industrialization.
