Bunker Roy (1945-2026): A Compassionate Revolutionary in Tilonia Assuming Planetary Significance
SANJIT BUNKER ROY , the founder of Barefoot College and one of India's best-known and globally acclaimed grassroots development workers, was a splendid example of an Indian whose life and work represented a passionate and arduous striving for uplifting village people and ensuring them their legitimate entitlements in tune with Mahatma Gandhis vision of heralding renaissance across vast swathes of rural India. His sad demise on November 10, 2026, at his home in Tilonia, Rajasthan, in the presence of his illustrious activist wife, Aruna Ray and several villagers underscored his enduring legacy of exemplary service to village people till his last breath. He was 81, and his extraordinary constructive work for the rural folks constituted a shining example of revolutionising the lives of villagers in a compassionate manner. Born into a prominent Brahmo upper-middle-class family from Kolkata in 1945, Roy had the privilege of being groomed with a secular outlook and educated in the elite Doon School in Dehradun and St Stephens College in Delhi. His own self-critical evaluation of his education was best expressed when he said, I went to the wrong school, wrong college and came back with a lot of arrogance. After my education, he said, I had a lot of fancy degrees and was told that I could overcome any problem. What transformed his life and outlook was his visit to famine-ravaged Palamu in Bihar (now Jharkhand) in 1966 and his utter inability to cope up with life in a village there in spite of studying in excellent educational institutions and securing high distinctions as a bright student. Apart from his excellence as a student, he proved himself to be an accomplished sportsperson by becoming Indias squash champion thrice. But the inner driving force silently guiding Bunker was an irresistible yearning which could be best described by employing the caption of an article Wanted Rural Mindedness authored by Mahatma Gandhi. He deeply realised that in spite of getting schooled in the best of educational institutions, he was incapable of placing himself in a rural setting marked by the absence of essential conditions for acquiring social and educational capabilities to lead a dignified life. Therefore, he preferred to stay in a village and resolved to improve the lived experience of villagers by establishing the Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC) in Tilonia, Rajasthan. The organisation was reckoned with great admiration across the world as Barefoot College emerged as a nucleus for harnessing the invaluable skills of village dwellers which they never got through the formal process of schooling in any educational institution, be it an institute of technology or engineering. What he did through that College for augmenting the human development indices of the village by liberating them from the whirlpool of deprivation and discrimination is worthy of emulation for our time, marked by the accelerated process of urbanisation and AI-driven algorithms mocking peoples traditional skills acquired through the process of living by using locally available resources. Bunker Roys articulations in the context of Tilonia and Barefoot College that Every failure is a beginning. Everyone had a chance in Tilonia. This is a place for cop outs, drop-outs and washouts embodied the optimism of Gandhi, who famously said that he would harness the ability of dumb millions to liberate India from the clutches of the mighty British Empire. That was the reason why Roy, while drawing on the strength of village people devoid of formal educational qualifications, brought together the most ordinary village people, a large segment of which consisted of women. It was fascinating to see such women, never having attended school, emerge as engineers to harness electricity from sunlight and hailed as Solar Mamas for their contributions in bringing clean energy to thousands of houses and even communities located in distant parts of the world. Women from the villages were initially trained as handpump istrys, excelled as solar mamas and forged their tryst with empowerment and set an example for the rest of the country and indeed the world. Its model placed technical knowledge in the hands of people who were often excluded from discussions about technology and development. Education was another important part of Roy's work. Barefoot College established night schools for children who could not attend regular classes because they worked or helped their families during the day. The initiative recognised that conventional schooling did not always accommodate the circumstances of rural children. The institution also worked on rainwater harvesting, healthcare and traditional crafts, linking its programmes to the everyday requirements of village life. When, in 1986, he was conferred with Padma Shri, the citation catalogued his precious work in employing the phrase, Tilonia Movement, and remarking that the idea was to start a process of generating awareness and at the same time demystifying technology, making it simple, effective, inexpensive and accessible. In the Thinkers Category listed by Time Magazine in 2010, he figured as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Several other prestigious awards such as the Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Application of Science and Technology for Rural Development (1985), the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement (2004), the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship (2005), the Blue Planet Prize (2011) and the Clinton Global Citizen Award in 2013 testified to his glorious legacy rooted in his enduring services driven by the passion to uplift rural areas by adopting sustainable paths of development. A year back in 2025, King Charles III of the United Kingdom referred to the precious work done by Roy and remarked, I am constantly singing your praises whenever I can, especially in Africa. There is much to discuss as I have many initiatives going on around the world Roys advent in the rural setting and his adventure in finding the worth of extremely ordinary village folks need to be seen in the context of his wife Aruna Roys pathbreaking work as the president of the National Federation of Indian Women and founder of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan. She quit the IAS and engaged in relentless struggles for mobilising workers and farmers to secure their entitlements for minimum wages and their right to hold the Government to account. The epic struggle for the Right to Information, combined with manifold movements for transparency and the Right to Food and education, originated against the backdrop of Roy's seminal work in Tilonia as a compassionate revolutionary. Aruna, in her memoir, The Personal is Political, acknowledged, The need for an RTI law was built brick by brick, incident by incident. If the IAS showed what should not be, Barefoot College SWRC gave me a platform to evolve what should be. Bunker Roys legacy is of enduring significance in the context of the calamitous consequences humanity is confronting as the spectre of man-made global warming and climate change is wreaking havoc on the planet. The statement issued by his family after his passing away said, Bunker Roy passed away peacefully at 6.15 am with Aruna (wife and activist Aruna Roy) and others around him. He went as he wanted to, in his own home in Tilonia, surrounded by some of the countless people who loved and cared for him deeply and admired him for his lifelong contribution to people, society, India, and the planet. He was truly a planetary citizen and his life and work would shine for ever leading the weary humanity to appreciate the meaning and significance of sustainable development in this Age of Anthropocene defined, among others, in terms of too much of human activity disproportionately using the energy and resources of the planet and imperilling it.

Delhi Police arrests two cyber criminals for Rs 27 lakh bank fraud in 2021
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 10 (IANS) Two absconding cyber criminals from a Jamtara-based gang were arrested by Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of Delhi Police Special Cell, five years after they duped a Delhi resident of Rs 27 lakh using a fake bank website, a Delhi Police official said on Tuesday. Mohd. Mehruddin Ansari (30) and Mohd. Arsad Ansari (29), both residents of district Jamtara, Jharkhand, were arrested on October 30 after they surrendered before a Delhi court, the official said. The police said both the accused are educated up to matriculation and played key roles in designing fake bank websites and facilitating fraudulent customer care operations. The case involved a Delhi resident who fell in the gangs trap and landed on a fake Canara Bank website created by the gang in the guise of customer support, the police said. The bank customer, Bishwajeet Paul, who had a cheque-related query, had used information from the gangs fraudulent website www.customercomplaintregisters.com, designed to resemble the official Canara Bank website using the bank's logo and similar layout, the police said. After the complainant entered his bank account details on the instruction of a fake tele-caller, the gang illegally transferred Rs 27.10 lakh from his account to eight different bank accounts, the police said. During the investigation, eight accused were arrested earlier, including persons involved in arranging and handling beneficiary bank accounts and facilitating the withdrawal and transfer of cheated money. A charge sheet was filed against two accused persons, namely Baharuddin Ansari and Basaruddin Ansari. Six other accused persons were also arrested subsequently and are presently on regular bail. However, two key accused persons, namely Mohd. Mehruddin Ansari and Mohd. Arsad Ansari, remained absconding and were evading arrest despite repeated raids and sustained efforts by the investigating team. Non-Bailable Warrants were also issued against them by the court, the police said.

Digital Desk | Deoghar (Jharkhand), Nov 10 (IANS) Former Congress President late Sitaram Kesri's grandson, Rakesh Kesri, on Tuesday, refuted allegations that senior party leader Sonia Gandhi had a role in his removal as the party chief in 1998. Instead, he said, Sonia Gandhi immediately rushed to Kesri's residence and described him as a great leader. This was stated by Sonia Gandhi in her memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love, where she recalled that in 1998, after being elected party President at the CWC meeting, she straight went to Kesri's residence and touched his feet to seek blessings, leaving the latter surprised. Recounting the emotional meeting, she wrote that Kesri expressed surprise at her unexpected presence, but with moist eyes, placed his hand on her head, and blessed her. Speaking to IANS, Rakesh Kesri also said that Sonia Gandhi made sacrifices for the country as well as for the party. I was only about 25 or 26 years old at that time; I did not know much as I am not a political person, but her dedication to the party and her sacrifice are things we understand from history. It is recorded that she made sacrifices for the party and for the country, he said. Asked if Sonia Gandhi was opposed by others from becoming the Prime Minister at that time, he rebutted the claim, calling it her own sacrifice. There was no one to oppose her. It was her own sacrifice. What difference would opposition have made when all the MPs were with her? She herself probably did not want the position, he said. Further, Rakesh Kesri maintained that his grandfather shared a very good relationship with the Gandhi family and refuted reports that Sonia Gandhi had any role in Sitaram Kesri's removal as Congress chief. We were young then...Kesri ji would always say that it was 'Congress-I', meaning Indira Congress. He never called it his own Congress. The Gandhi family had a very good relationship with him, he said. The incident that happened occurred because of certain people with a particular ideology and mindset, he added. According to Rakesh Kesri, when Sonia Gandhi learnt about Sitaram Kesri's removal as party President, she was among the first to go to his residence on Purana Qila Road. She spoke to him and described him as a great leader. Asked whether the Gandhi family maintained contact with the Kesri family after the former Congress chief's demise in 2000, he said: Yes, they remain in touch with us, and we continue to meet. Last year, on October 24, we even observed Sitaram Kesari's 25th death anniversary. We wrote a letter, and it was immediately accepted (by Congress leadership). We received a phone call in response, and then (Sitaram Kesri's) 25th death anniversary was observed by the party, he said, referring to it as the Congress' mark of respect for Kesri. As soon as we sent the letter, it was accepted, and the entire event was organised by the party at its own expense. What more could we ask for? Rakesh Kesri said. Meanwhile, recounting the emotional meeting in her book, Sonia Gandhi wrote that Sitaram Kesri expressed surprise at her unexpected presence, but with moist eyes, placed his hand on her head and blessed her.

'Dimagi Naxals' next on govt target, Kiren Rijiju tells Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 10 (IANS) Taking aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for eliminating Naxalism and warned the opposition leaders that days of Dimagi Naxals are also numbered. Criticising Rahul Gandhi for trivialising the Union government's success in ending Left-wing extremism, Rijiju on social media platform X said, Rahul ji, thank Modi ji for eliminating the Armed Maoists. Former PM Manmohan Singh ji had famously described Left-Wing Extremism and Naxalism as 'The single biggest internal security threat' to India. Next target is to finish Dimagi Naxals. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress have recently been exchanging verbal blows over the fight against Naxalism and foreign intervention in Indian politics. Interacting with CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh, PM Modi had said that the elimination of Naxalism is not the final destination and that the country still faces the challenge of countering 'Dimagi Naxals' who have taken control of several organisations. In a veiled attack on Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc parties questioning the integrity of institutions like the Election Commission of India (ECI), the Prime Minister said, Even today, they are inciting people against the country's Constitution and democracy. These 'Dimagi Naxals' have also infiltrated several political parties and different organisations. We must identify them, defeat them and ensure the security of the nation. Later, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi challenged PM Modi for a public debate regarding allegations of being 'Dimagi Naxals' and anti-nationals controlled by foreign entities. Responding to Rahul Gandhi's claims, four-time BJP MP from Jharkhand Nishikant Dubey on Monday questioned the Congress leader's meeting with two Chinese Ministers during a Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage in 2018. In a post on X, Dubey asked Rahul Gandhi to answer his two key questions. Question 1. Mr Rahul Gandhi, when you went on the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage in 2018, which two Chinese Ministers did you meet? 2. After the 2008 agreement between @INCIndia and the Communist Party of China, which 200 people have you sent to China under the exchange program by 2018? What are their names and addresses? the BJP MP asked.
