Yes, I took my Ph.D. at the Indian Statistical Institute in Delhi. After that I started working at the London School of Economics. I enjoyed teaching, It's one of the most wonderful professions. But I had too little freedom for my other activities, so I resigned from that. That's one thing.
Peace action is another thing, field work is another thing, studying is another thing.
One of the dilemmas that one constantly faces there is the distance between us and poor people. We can ignore it and continue living the way we live. Or we can try to get near. Or we can go overboard. I believe in taking steps to have solidarity with people who are deprived and I believe in sharing.
