This change came of its own from within. In many homes, even serving of alcohol has also been stopped. Their love for Ram Naam makes them chant it most of the time even while at work. They are in the process of becoming good, and perfect human beings. Dr Gautam Chatterjee has made an interesting compilation.
Devotion brings reformation with the magic of phonetic resonance.
Through Ram Naam is a work that tenaciously seeks to establish that the 'stigma' attached to behavious of the Bhils of Jhabua has its roots in the mindsets of the 'outside' world. Dr. Gautam Chatterjee has the right credentials for undertaking such an onerous task, summoning all the responsibility that it demands. The book does not treat criminal behaviour in isolation but puts it in the context of the social environment in which the person finds himself. Without trivializing the issue Dr. Chatterjee shows why biases and preconceived notions have a damning effect on communities and through his thesis offered a socially relevant therapy for its cure and herein lies the essence of this book. It hightlights the benefits of reformation in jails and through interview records the admission of hardened criminals that a spiritual approach to reformation is perhaps the one thing truly changes one prone to deviant behaviour.
