“Since I belonged to the upper class and had all privileges so it was kind of my responsibility to eliminate the casteism and discrimination in the society”, says Lenin Raghuvanshi, a human rights activist, political thinker, social entrepreneur, and one of the founding members of PVCHR.
From the beginning, Raghuvanshi was averse to the caste system. Early experiences taught him that confrontation was essentially dangerous and not the most effective emancipatory tool. Having worked with Kailash Satyarthi changed his outlook and led to the foundation of PVCHR, a community-based organization, which focuses on breaking the feudal hierarchies by building up local institutions and an active human rights network. In course of time, he has been successful in championing the cause of the marginal and voiceless, restoring their dignity and helping them with their identity as respectable citizens. Lenin has emerged as the symbol of resistance to millions of Dalits fighting for their dignity. #humanrights #society #leadership #cca #Core_cell
