The recent tragedy in Nepal highlights the fragile relationship between humans and nature amid climate change. Prof Nirmal Selvamony, author of 'Tinai Philosophy: The Indigenous Lifeway for the Anthropocene,' draws on ancient Tamil literature to propose Tinai, a philosophy of harmonious coexistence, as a guide for addressing environmental challenges. He emphasizes that Tinai offers a practical, indigenous approach beyond industrialization, advocating for a new epoch called Neotinaisene to move beyond current ecological crises.
