Social change, as articulated by Alnoor Ladha, refers to the fundamental transformations in societal structures, cultural practices, and institutional systems that alter the underlying dynamics of power, equity, and justice within a community or society. He emphasizes that such changes are often initiated through collective action and driven by the resilience of grassroots movements that challenge oppressive systems and advocate for new paradigms of coexistence. Ladha underscores the holistic nature of social change, suggesting that it is not merely a series of incremental reforms but a profound reimagining of social contracts, interrelationships, and human values. This transformative process is both reflective and forward-thinking, recognizing the interconnectedness of various socio-political and economic factors, ultimately aiming to foster a more equitable and compassionate world.
