WEBSITE REVAMPED, FINALLY!!

 
 

Posted on July 14th, 2010
Welcome to the newly revamped website!

This is the version 4 of sanjitdasdotcom. The previous 3 versions were photo centreic. However in this updated website, I plan to make it more user friendly (using more text and links) and use this online platform to share resources, data, testimonies as an online repository for people from all over to explore these issues. The idea is to update more regularly.
