It is Rahul’s fervent desire to present to his readers, the voice of the vanquished as well. He is thankful to the Almighty for bestowing him with a strong sense of justice and it is to this trait that he owes his almost visceral desire to take his readers into a utopian world where the poor, the vanquished and the marginalized are heard.
It is this wish that turns him; an engineer by qualification and a banker by profession, into a dreamer.
(Rahul passed out of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 2006 and later obtained his MBA from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad in 2010. He lives in Mumbai where he works as a Project Finance professional for a prominent conglomerate.)
Every now and then, the dreamer steals him away from the rigors of a full time corporate banking career and the incessant demands that life in Mumbai places on its denizens. The dreamer recedes into a shell, mesmerized by the chimera of a just world.
As Edmund Burke once famously said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Rahul wishes to create, at least in the minds of his readers, an ideal world, where good men stand up to evil.
It is a world where Indians can live without the fear of terror, a world where Tibetans can preserve their independence and cultural heritage, a world where the Sri-Lankan Tamils can live without persecution, a world where the Palestinians get what is rightfully theirs but also a world where Israel can exist peacefully.visualizza meno
