Shankar Singh has played a key role in spreading awareness about the Right to Information (RTI) law in the villages and cities of Rajasthan. In 1997, when the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) rolled out the Ghotala Rath Yatra in Jaipur it was Shankar’s brilliance as a performer that brought RTI alive for ordinary people. Along with Aruna Roy and Nikhil Dey, he is a founder of the MKSS. While others lobbied the system, Shankar showed how to happily take the message of transparency to the streets.
Shankar gave up the opportunity of being a government schoolteacher so. . .
