SPEAKERS:

A Kashmir-based sports coach, Dar talked about the need to stop stereotyping Kashmiris as terrorist. “My own people did not accept me because I played taekwando.

—Faizal Ali Dar 

Afreen Rehman is the one who challenged triple talaq in Supreme Court. “Revolution only happens when action is taken. We can only see the change if we raise a voice. We need to know about our laws and rights. My fight has not ended yet. Only a verdict has come, the law is yet to be made. I am hoping for the best.”
—Afreen Rehman

Founder of Alt News talked about the urgent need to address the issue of fake news. “We need to ask ourselves why we often forward things that are not true. There is some amount of fake news in mainstream media. It is affecting our electoral choices & is polarising society. It is affecting the credibility of mainstream media.”
—Prateek Sinha

A cancer specialist, Rao has built an economic voice prosthetics and aims to break the noise of the silence. “When silence is forced on someone, it becomes a noise.
