Parth Shah and his team at the Centre for Civil Society have launched a new web-based platform for spreading the ideas of liberty and free markets with Azadi.me. With articles, videos, and other commentary appearing in Hindi, the website strives to reach as many of India’s 500 million Hindi speakers. In addition to bringing Indian libertarian voices to the fore, the team at Azadi.me is also translating the best in libertarian thought from around the world.
The website officially launched on August 14th, and its opening event was attended by Mr Gurcharan Das, author of The Difficulty of Being Good and India Unbound, Mr Shrawan Garg, Group Editor, Dainik Bhaskar, and Dr Ved Pratap Vaidik, political thinker and Former Editor of Navbharat Times and PTI Bhasha.
As Mr. Das said in his remarks, “Today marks the beginning of a new chapter; we got our independence in 1947 but not complete freedom. The revolution started in 1991 but we still have a long way to go. Prosperity is going to spread in India but not happiness until we can fix governance. When one out of 4 teachers are not there in government schools, one out of four teachers present in the school arenot teaching, what kind of azadi is this for our children. It is now for azadi.me to take this up.”
Congratulations, Parth!
