This memoir offers an intimate account of a life shaped by faith, curiosity and independent thinking. Heredia describes his decision to join the Jesuits, his work in education and research, and his efforts to support disadvantaged communities. With honesty, humour and thoughtful reflection, he examines the relationship between religious commitment, social responsibility and intellectual freedom.
Rudolf C. Heredia is an Indian Jesuit scholar, sociologist and writer. He earned his doctorate in sociology from the University of Chicago and taught at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, where he founded the Social Science Centre. He also worked with the Indian Social Institute and has written on religion, social change, minority rights and social justice.
Rudolf C. Heredia looks back on his childhood in a large Goan family, his student years in Mumbai and his decision to enter the Jesuit priesthood at nineteen. The memoir follows his development as a teacher, researcher and social thinker. Through experiences in academia and work with marginalised communities, he reflects on faith, service, compassion and the importance of questioning established institutions.
