Hanging Boots tells the extraordinary true story of how Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar helped turn the tide of insurgency in India's Northeast-transforming mistrust into dialogue and violence into lasting peace. From a rare insider's perspective, Vishnu Prakash recounts how multiple insurgent groups chose to lay down their arms, guided by grace, trust, and human connection. A gripping narrative of courage and quiet transformation, Hanging Boots named by Gurudev himself-shows how grace and determination can succeed where conflict fails, and how a violence-free future is practically possible.
