Rahul Bose |
Rahul Bose is a man with a mission. The actor, who is passionate about cinema, is equally passionate about issues concerning women, children and society. Rahul's mission is to erase discrimination and bring a stop any kind of differentiation and prejudice that only weaken the weak.
Rahul Bose said, "While there are a thousand manifestations of evil on this planet, perhaps the single most instinctive evil is discrimination. We do not like "the others". They make us uncomfortable. We try and keep out those we have been told are not like us. So, we differentiate between the young and the old, women and men, the mentally able and the mentally challenged. We treat the poor, the uneducated, the dark-skinned, the transvestites, the Dalits, the physically challenged, with contempt."
Rahul added, "My first reaction when I witnessed needless discrimination was of puzzlement. The years have seen this evolve into a desire to help erase discrimination when I see it. Perhaps because I realize this monster lies dormant within the best of us and that without the constant practice of the reverse, internal prejudices will rear their ugly heads."
Thus Bose started an NGO, The FOUNDATION whose one pointed agenda was to eradicate discrimination. "We need to start with ourselves. We will remove discrimination from our lives, our country and our world." |
