Vidya Bhushan Rawat, a freethinker, a human rights activist who wish to stay at ground. After 20 years of work at the ground, he feels that, it is time to change. He says that; we have a secular constitution but our society is not secular. We have political democracy but society remain feudal and casteist therefore, he feels it is time for an Indian renaissance now. Freedom of choice is not an Indian concept and that is why people are being killed for accepting new choices at their own. Looking for like minded people, organisations in our aim to develop a humanist and enlightened society in India.

Working as a full time human rights defender. Have made several documentries and also written books on the issues of human rights, Dalits, women and minorities. Though, I am a humanist and defend the right of an individual to be religious, However, I firmly believe that there is nothing like 'God's Word' or final truth. All God's words can be challenged. We defend the rights of dissenters. Democracy can only flourish when people respect dissent and resolve their issues through dialogue. I personally feel that religious laws cannot override secular laws of a nation and that society has to accept wide diversity across the world. However, parochialism in the name of diversity should not be supported at all.
