Gauri Ayyub - A Lifestory
Championing Social Justice, Education, And Equality Through Words And Action
Born into a family with a strong background in thinking and politics, and her father was the well known thinker Abu Sayeed Ayyub, she got a history of careful thought and strong dedication to social change. Her path started in the lively school area of Santiniketan, where she was very involved in art and books. She is known as a social helper, fighter, writer, and teacher. It was during the hard times of the 1970s, a time of social and political trouble, that she found her purpose. Inspired by the Naxalite movement, she was very active in helping people at the local level, working hard to help those who were not treated fairly. Her promise to social justice never changed. She has always been a strong supporter of the rights of those who are treated badly, speaking out against unfairness whenever she sees it. Her deep knowledge of social problems, along with her skill to explain hard ideas clearly, has made her a respected voice in schools and activist groups. She has also written a lot about social justice and human rights. People she works with often call her "a sign of hope" and "a true winner for the people."
