Along with Mr. Santosh Jangam, a bookseller turned activist, Mr. Rao is the head of a movement called Sahasi Padayatri which is leading a grassroots campaign on behalf of pedestrian rights in Mumbai. Through this movement he has been engaged in a variety of initiatives and non-violent agitations to improve conditions for pedestrians.

I was surprised to see such a movement exist in Mumbai where often pedestrians have the lowest priority on the roads and in spite of several mishaps, little has changed for them; all the more reason for its existence.

Ethan Arpi talks to Krishnaraj Rao who heads this movement for pedestrian rights in Mumbai using Satyagraha. Yup, Gandhigiri for the little guy on the road.

Update: The second part of the interview is now available.
