Ubuntu | Saju Mavara

“From the huge tree of hopes, a lot of older leaves flutter down. Though the number of new leaves that sprout from the tender branches is greater than the number of old leaves that float down, past their prime, this, in effect, is the beautiful phenomenon of hope.” Can we dare to dream of a world where people embrace “we” without the individualistic notions of “me” and “you”? In these times, where the boundaries between individuals seem to be growing, imagining a community that prioritizes collective welfare over personal interests is a worthy pursuit. The characters of the novel “Ubuntu -The weavers of winding dreams” instinctively embody the ethos of Ubuntu, an African ethno philosophy, embracing a way of thinking founded on pure love, mutual respect, and selflessness.
