Satish Kumar

b. 1936, born Dungargarh, writes in English, writer, journalist

Satish Kumar is an Indian British activist and speaker. He has been a Jain monk, nuclear disarmament advocate and pacifist. Now living in England, Kumar is founder and Director of Programmes of the Schumacher College international center for ecological studies, and is Editor Emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine. His most notable accomplishment is the completion, together with a companion, E.P. Menon, of a peace walk of over 8,000 miles in June 1962 for two and a half years, from New Delhi to Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington DC, the capitals of the world’s earliest nuclear-armed countries. He insists that reverence for Nature should be at the heart of every political and social debate.
