ABOUT

I take media’s job as a voice of the underdog very seriously. Hence, the stories on this website are an attempt to look at the world from the perspective of the less privileged.   My focus has been Human Rights, specifically land and forest rights.

In 2011, I began to report for The New York Times, BBC, Guardian, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Open Democracy, South China Morning Post, Scroll.in and The Hindu. I attempt to understand the society and its structures through my journalism. Since 2011, I have reported from 11 countries across the world and from a hundred districts in India.

Travelling is my only religion. I love to swim in cold lakes in the country. Music intoxicates me more than alcohol. The only campaign I support and advocate is ‘Free Hugs’. I would love to hear from you. Do write to me.
