Date: 2020-11-27

From satyagraha by dam affected people in the Narmada Valley (India) to a gigantic protest in Seattle (USA), that disrupted a meeting of the World Trade Organization – Sanjay Mangala Gopal has been at the heart of nonviolent political action for over four decades. Here he talks about his roots in the Rashtra Seva Dal and other Gandhian-Socialist organizations where he imbibed the ideals of democracy and nonviolence. Sanjay also narrates how he combined the role of teaching engineering with being a passionate political activist – working at the same time for social justice in the slums of Thane and also striving for renewable energy systems that empower people and counter the structural violence of industrial culture that has led to climate chaos.
