Book Discussion Burning Pyres, Mass Graves and a State that Failed Its People: India's Covid Tragedy
Dr Harsh Mander (PhD, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam)
Renowned human rights and peace worker, writer, columnist, researcher and teacher
Dr Harsh Mander is involved in different initiatives related to human rights. From
the autumn of 2017 he established and led the important national initiative which he
called the Karwan e Mohabbat (www.karwanemohabbat.in). Literally, the Caravan of
Love, the initiative tries to counter rising hate and fear in the country, but not with
hate; instead with love and solidarity. The Karwan visits the families of those who lost
loved ones to hate violence and lynching, for atonement, solidarity, healing,
conscience and justice, and to promote goodwill and trust between communities. Dr
Mander was shortlisted for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 and is the Chairperson of
the Centre for Equity Studies, Delhi.
