In 1950, we, the people of India, gave ourselves a constitution that promised justice, liberty and equality to all its citizens. Decades later, as a nation, we still struggle with inequality in various forms—religion, sex, caste, gender. As we forge ahead, it is imperative to ask, ‘who is equal?’, and 'is the idea of equality elusive to achieve?'

In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless.

If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.

La naturaleza de este documento es algo indefinida. Por su forma agrupa relatos cortos, a media carrera entre reflexiones y apuntes biográficos de una época de violencia.

Da vueltas sobre diferentes dimensiones relacionadas con mi condición: ser hijo de padres que militaron en el Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso.

Alexei Navalny began writing PATRIOT shortly after his near-fatal poisoning in 2020.

Written with the passion, wit, candour and bravery for which he was justly acclaimed, PATRIOT is Navalny’s final letter to the world: a moving account of his last years spent in the most brutal prison on earth.
