| dc.description.abstract | This article argues for communication for social change theory to be based on a theory of
knowledge, a specific understanding of process that feeds into practice, a knowledge of
structures, a specific understanding of context and flows of power. It highlights the example
of the Right to Information Movement in India as an embodiment of meaningful practice
that was in itself a response to the felt needs of people. It argues that the RTI movement
provided opportunities to understand Voice as a practice and value through indigenous
means, specifically through the mechanism of
the Jan Sunwai (Public Hearings). It argues
that when local people are involved in articulating ‘needs’, there will be scope for the
sustainability of the practice of communication and social change and opportunities to theorise from such practice. | sv |
