  It was truly a privilege to be in conversation with an inspirational figure like Dr Kailash Satyarthi. A Nobel Peace Prize awardee, he has been tirelessly working towards creating a safe space for children rescued from labour and abusive environments. He was at Bennett University as chief guest of our bookfest 'Aalekh' and so he also spoke about his latest book ‘Karuna: The Power of Compassion’ which delves deep into the principles that have defined his work and life so far. “Compassion is a not a soft emotion,” he says, “it is a force that is powerful and demands courage, accountability and action.”
