A remembrance meeting was held to honour the life and legacy of Prof. G.N. Saibaba, a prominent academic and human rights advocate who recently passed away. The gathering attracted students, intellectuals, writers, and human rights activists who paid tribute to his lifelong commitment to social justice and equality.
Prof. Saibaba, who served as a professor at Delhi University, was widely known for his unwavering fight against oppression and his role in advocating for disability rights. Despite being wheelchair-bound and suffering from 90% disability, his dedication to human rights never faltered, even after his imprisonment under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in 2014. His imprisonment, which sparked widespread criticism from human rights organisations, did not deter him from continuing to champion the causes he believed in.
During the remembrance event, his courage and resilience were praised by many. His contributions to the disability rights movement were emphasised, as was his broader role in fighting for the marginalised and oppressed. The life of Prof. Saibaba, marked by personal adversity and relentless activism, was remembered as an inspiration to many. Despite the challenges he faced, including his physical limitations and legal battles, he remained resolute in his pursuit of a more equitable and just society. The gathering served as a powerful reminder of his influence on the lives of those who were touched by his work.
As per Edex Live reports, the remembrance event also highlighted the need for continued advocacy in the areas Saibaba had championed. His commitment to disability rights, social justice, and human rights continues to resonate with activists and advocates today. His passing is seen as a great loss, but his legacy is expected to inspire ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive society.
The memory of Prof. Saibaba’s life and work will live on, inspiring others to take up the causes he so passionately defended. His legacy, as remembered at the gathering, will continue to shape the fight for human rights and social equality for years to come.
