For this work, I attempted to concentrate on one small aspect of Satyagraha that gave strength, perseverance and an immense ability to love others (even your oppressors) to the Satyagrahis- Fasting
In our times, out of the many experiences of fasting for self-control or for a larger cause, I chose four real life stories that never made the headlines, but yet talks of the struggle of a common man. These stories have been read in the form of a ‘before-meal prayer’ in front of empty plates on a well laid table. The projected eyes on each plate, stand witness to the truth of the incidence, of the experience and of the prayer.
