Kisan Hazare was born on 15 June 1937 in Bhingar a small village near the city of Hinganghat in Bombay Province present day Maharashtra. Kisan\'s father, Baburao Hazare worked as an unskilled labourer in Ayurveda Ashram Pharmacy. Kisan\'s grandfather was working for the army of Bhingar, when he was born. His grandfather died in 1945 but Baburao continued to stay at Bhingar. In 1952 Baburao resigned from his job and returned to his own village, Ralegan Siddhi. Kisan had six younger siblings and the family faced significant hardships. Kisan\'s childless aunt offered to look after him and his education and took him to Mumbai. Kisan studies up to the seventh standard in Mumbai and then sought employment due to the economic situation in his household. He started selling flowers at Dadar to support his family. He soon started his own shop and brought two of his brothers to Bombay. This book is a comprehensive design to offer an in-depth analysis of the major and rather disturbing global problems in the human centred Anna Hazare peace-oriented framework. (jacket)
