‘So many injustices I saw in my childhood,’ says 19 year old Mukesh Rajak. ‘I saw people facing so many problems in their daily lives, but they were not speaking out.’ Mukesh was born into a marginalized community in an impoverished region of rural India. His childhood was marked by discrimination and social exclusion due to his status as a dalit, a member of India’s ‘untouchable’ castes. A chance opportunity attend a nonprofit private school led Mukesh to find his voice as a community organizer and citizen journalist. Everyday he rides his scooter from village to village documenting negligence and corruption in his region’s school system, convinced that a proper education for every child is the key to transforming his community for the better. |
