Mumbai: Activists have urged people to send birthday wishes and letters to arrested advocate Surendra Gadling and Prof Shoma Sen. Gadling turns 50-years-old on July 30 and Sen turns 60 on August 1.
Senior human rights lawyer from Nagpur and GN Saibaba’s counsel Surendra Gadling; senior Dalit rights activist Sudhir Dhawale, who is also editor of bi-monthly magazine Vidrohi; Mahesh Raut, an alumnus from Tata Institute of Social Sciences and former Prime Minister Rural Development fellow; Delhi-based social activist Rona Wilson; and Shoma Sen, an associate professor from Nagpur University were arrested in the aftermath of the Bhima Koregaon violence.
