- Rahul BOSE is one of India’s most celebrated faces today. TIME magazine has named him as superstar of Indian Arthouse cinema. He is a complete antithesis of what we expect from a celebrity. He is a role model for the youth of India, being voted in 2009 the Indian Youth icon of the year for social justice. Fearlessly individualistic, talented, confident and so versatile - a well known actor, a rugby player who was a part of the national Indian rugby team for 11 years, a writer, film director and producer, a prolific speaker who gets invited by top world universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, MIT, amongst others. Rahul BOSE set up two NGOs which he runs now: HEAL - Help Eradicate Abuse through Learning which is about prevention of child sexual abuse as well as healing those who have been abused, and a Foundation which works with children from underserved parts of India as well as gender equality issues.

20:14 Rahul Bose on the role men play in order to improve conditions of women: “The answer is men. Patriarchy does not come from an invisible space. The jealous possession and keeping of power does not come from an invisible space... ”
22:40 “We need men to be taught better, deeper. It’s not something that women need to rest from men. It’s not a fight. Women are not asking for power. Women are asking for a power free world...”
