Joint Seminar on South Asian Politics
Aruna Roy, Activist & Founder, MKSS
Aruna Roy is an Indian political and social activist who founded the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) along with Shankar Singh, Nikhil Dey and many others. The MKSS began by fighting for fair and equal wages for workers which shaped and evolved into a struggle for the enactment of India’s Right to Information Act. Aruna Roy is a leader of the Right to Information movement in India through the MKSS and the National Campaign for People’s Right to Information(NCPRI), which was finally successful with the passage of the Right to Information Act in 2005.
Cosponsored with the Center for Contemporary South Asia at the Watson Institute at Brown University, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, and the MIT Center for International Studies
