O autoru
As a freelance contributor to the print media, S V Upendra Charya has been writing for news dailies and periodicals since years and many of his contributions made news because he wrote fearlessly to express his views on all that can be said about for those helpless and voiceless poor who are the victims of social injustice, exploitation and discrimination.
“Leftist, rightist, socialist. No I am none of this. Neither I worked for any news journal. I simply travelled all over and wrote about people in need. I am happy I could do this from times when we had to depend mainly on newspapers for any news, good or bad.” Says the author of this compilation book comprising of his published articles. As a freelancer, Upendra Charya had written all these articles for a worthy cause – ‘to give voice to the voiceless.’
