Binayak Sen - A Lifestory
Doctor. Activist. Advocate. Championing Human Rights, Relentlessly And Fearlessly
A doctor and someone who fights for people's rights is like the characters in movies like "Rang De Basanti" who fight for what's right. This person's story, full of praise and disagreement, is like the tricky stories we see in movies. Born in 1950, this person spent their life trying to make healthcare better for those in need in Chhattisgarh, India. In the 1980s, this person started the Shaheed Hospital, a place that gave hope by offering cheap medical care. Another activist, praised this person's strong dedication, saying they had "great courage and deep care." But things changed a lot in 2007 when this person was arrested and accused of going against the government. The things that happened next, like the court fights in "The Trial," caused many protests and disapproval from around the world. Many groups that protect human rights, like Amnesty International, said that the accusations were for political reasons. Even after being let out on bail by the highest court in India in 2009, the legal problems continued. This person was found guilty in December 2010. Even with the problems, this person's commitment to fairness is still inspiring. This person's life shows the power of what one person can do, a real story with echoes of strength and fight that go beyond the courtroom.
