(Press Release)

Subhash Gatade

    Subhash Gatade is a journalist, left-wing thinker and human rights activist. He has been writing for the popular media and a variety of journals and websites on issues of history and politics, human right violations and state repression, communalism and caste, violence against Dalits and minorities, religious sectarianism and neo-liberalism, and a host of other issues that analyse and hold a mirror to South Asian society in the past three decades. He is an important chronicler of our times, whose writings are as much a comment on the mainstream media in this region as on the issues he writes about. Subhash Gatade is very well known despite having been published very little in the mainstream media and is highly respected by scholars and social activists. He writes in both English and Hindi, which makes his role as public intellectual very significant. He edits Sandhan, a Hindi journal, and is author of Pahad Se Uncha Admi, a book on Dasrath Majhi for children, and Nathuram Godse’s Heirs: The Menace of Terrorism in India.
