What past participants say
"Duniya badalne ja rahe hain," as Swati put it,
did have an impact on my attitude. Plus it was the skills
that I gained in the workshop that has made some difference
which is already being felt in the works I do… The
focus of CCS is on liberty which I understand and have imbibed
in me. But in the kind of initiatives we (my friends and
I) take, we do not exactly propagate liberty or economic
freedom as a concept. Still, and it's very important, we
promote liberal ideas through our conduct and attitude.
I changed myself, we changed, our families changed, our
relatives changed, our other friends changed, our peers
and colleagues changed etc. etc. So it's all very subtle
and gradual, I think that is the only way. Pranav Sachdeva,
