ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the discourse and practice of inclusive development by exploring the multi-dimensional relationships between poverty, social suffering and social healing. Poverty is a source of exclusion and violence in self, culture and society. This chapter explores how we can transform the conditions of poverty through movements of self and social creativity which contributes to realization of integral development. It then links this to the movement of rethinking the discourse of inclusive development. It argues how inclusive development has lacked transformative strivings and has thus created many chains for self and society. For integral development, we need to go beyond such chains of illusion and go beyond paternalistic inclusive development to varieties of visions, practices and movements of transformative inclusion.
