Manu Raval, who participated as a freedom fighter in Gandhi's nonviolent civil disobedience Quit India Movement, will speak Thursday, April 12, at 6:45 p.m. in the University of Wyoming agriculture auditorium. His visit is sponsored by Milaap, the Indian students organization, as part of its 40th anniversary celebration.
"No one endowed with any patriotic sense or pride could keep away from the all-pervading Gandhian ideology and influence which had electrified the whole nation," Raval said from his home in Denver. Raval, who earned his law degree in 1947, held several civil service posts in the Indian Administrative Service, including that of deputy city manager of suburban Bombay. He also held managerial positions in some of India's largest corporations and has been active in numerous social organizations since moving to Colorado in 1973.
