The banyan tree, decentralization and hardiness

March 16, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized No Comments

I’ve mentioned Nipun before…an amazing weblogger. Today in my RSS feeder comes this lovely analogy:

When I was trying to explain the new paradigm of a movement and the relevance of decentralization in this world, Jayeshbhai promptly summarized it — ‘Just like a banyan tree.’ Indeed. Banyan tree starts with a root but when any of its branches hit the ground, they become roots too. In a short period, it’s impossible to figure out the original root, and it’s also very difficult to remove a banyan tree.
