Guardians of the Voiceless: Bishnois and the Blackbuck| Anu Lall | Panel Discussion | #SangamTalks

Author Anu Lall reveals how the Bishnoi community has protected wildlife and forests for over 550 years through sacred duty rather than policy. Discover how Guru Jambhoji's 29 niyamas created an entire civilisation of eco-warriors, and learn why dharma succeeds where ESG frameworks fail. Joined by a distinguished panel at the launch of her landmark book, in association with 'Sangam Talks' and 'The Hindu Fund', this conversation exposes what modern environmentalism has overlooked: the spiritual root of ecological crisis. Essential viewing for conservationists, Dharma scholars, and every Indian seeking to reconnect with their civilisational roots. Key Points * Why nobody lays down their life for an ESG framework — but Bishnois do for a Khejri tree * Guru Jambhoji's 29 rules: a 15th-century sustainable lifestyle blueprint that still works * The Khejrali massacre — 363 lives sacrificed to protect trees, unmatched in human history * The ecological logic of dharma * How legal battles against Bishnoi conservationists threaten India's grassroots wildlife protection Speakers: Bhupender Yadav: Hon'ble Union Cabinet Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Shashank Mani Tripathi: Member of Parliament | Founder of Jagriti Yatra Dr. M.
