In this episode, we speak with Prof. Vipin Kumar Tripathi, a retired IIT Delhi professor advocating for communal harmony, secularism, and social justice.
Shaped by his Gandhian freedom-fighter father and Muslim teacher Ahmed Baksh, Prof. Tripathi’s journey led him from academia to activism, sparked by the 1982 Lebanon attack and 1989 Bhagalpur massacre.
He discusses his unique method of distributing pamphlets on Delhi’s streets to promote peace and nonviolence, inspired by Gandhi and Nehru.
A staunch critic of the Gaza genocide, he critiques India’s shifting stance on Palestine and addresses rising communalism, opposing policies like the Ram Mandir movement, Article 370 abrogation, and CAA-NRC.
Join us to explore his vision for a united, inclusive India and global justice through grassroots activism.
