It reflects on both its potential and contradictions, framing it as an ongoing project rather than a finished method.Item Zapatistas in Chiapas(1984-03-23) Tandon, RajeshAt a moment when Mexico was entering a new era of economic liberalisation under NAFTA, an unexpected uprising in Chiapas reshaped debates on democracy, land, and indigenous rights. This paper examines the Zapatista movement within the longer history of indigenous struggle while drawing attention to its distinctive way of combining traditional claims with new tools of communication and solidarity. The research also considers how the movement’s vision travelled beyond Chiapas, raising questions about development, autonomy, and cultural survival. In doing so, it argues for seeing the Zapatistas not only as a regional rebellion but as a reminder that struggles over dignity and self-determination can unsettle dominant ideas of governance in ways that remain unresolved.Item Role of NGOs in education for all(Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1989-11) Tandon, RajeshItem Development training of marginal farmers in india(1980) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research and participatory social action(1980-04-13) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research: An introduction-Issues to consider(Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1982) International Council for Adult Education.; Participatory Research Network
