ABOUT ME

Born in Tariyani, Chhapra, Bihar, Rakesh Kumar Singh has mostly been a media-person for the most part of his life. He has worked almost for a decade with the Sarai and Lokniti programme of the Centre for Studies of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi as a media and urban researcher, studying the media markets in Delhi and also edited a magazine series called Medianagar. As the founding editor of Hamshahri, a monthly publication of IGSSS, Delhi, he raised the plight of homelessness. He also had been associated with various initiatives on the issue of gender, caste, and people’s right over mines & minerals and social harmony. He also spent a couple of years as a corporate communication expert with a few corporate firms. Rakesh very frequently contributes columns to several national and vernacular publications. His first book Bam Sankar Tan Ganes is discussed as a work that will turn out to be a valuable documentation of the contemporary history of rural Bihar. At present, he is wandering to complete his next book Beyond Nagas, apart from playing with the brush and colors.
He draws his ideals from Qurratulain Hyder's Kalandar and strength from Yash Malviya's poem, Samay ki mar sah lena, nahin rukna mere saathi ... A country free of gender discrimination is his final dream. And there haven't been more than three interests that move his life - wandering, tripping, and photography.

PHILOSOPHY
