Had the opportunity of presenting my book “From Partition to Progress: Persecuted Hindus and the Struggle for Citizenship” to veteran journalist-editor, author, public intellectual & activist Shri Ram Bahadur Rai. He is currently the President of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA), New Delhi. In my numerous conversations with him I have always noticed an undiminished intellectual curiosity permeate Shri Rai’s interactions and discussions.
