"The single most instinctive evil is discrimination" - Rahul Bose

Rahul Bose is a man with a mission. The actor, who is passionate about cinema is equally passionate about issues concerning women, children and society. Rahul's mission is to erase discrimination and bring a stop any kind of differentiation and prejudices that only weaken the weak.

Rahul Bose said, "While there are a thousand manifestations of evil on this planet, perhaps the single most instinctive evil is discrimination. We do not like the other. They make us uncomfortable. We try and keep out those we have been told are not like us. So, we differentiate between the young and the old, women and men, the mentally able and the mentally challenged. We treat the poor, the uneducated, the dark-skinned, the transvestites, the Dalits, the physically challenged, with contempt."

Rahul added, "My first reaction when I witnessed needless discrimination was of puzzlement. The years have seen this evolve into a desire to help erase discrimination when I see it. Perhaps because I realize this monster lies dormant within the best of us and that without the constant practice of the reverse, internal prejudices will rear their ugly heads."

Thus Bose started an NGO, The FOUNDATION whose one pointed agenda was to eradicate discrimination. "And we need to start with ourselves. We will remove discrimination from our lives, our country and our world."

Besides this Bose has been actively involved with other issues concerning women and children. The actor and the activist has actively worked with underprivileged Muslim women as a part of Akshara Centre for Women on the issue of secularism.

Rahul has made fourteen trips to the Tsunami hit Andaman Islands as a part of immediate relief and rehabilitation in the beleaguered region. Bose facilitated, along with Akshara Centre and the Solidarity Network, the supply of vehicles, mobile phones and temporary relief materials for the villagers. He contributed to a permanent housing design initiative by coordinating with the urban development ministry and a team of Bombay architects, Shimul Zaveri and Associates.

He is on the board of Citizens for Justice and Peace, a Global Ambassador for the American India Foundation and a World Youth Ambassador for the World Youth Peace Movement.
