Vishal Mangalwadi, LLD, was born and raised in India where he studied philosophy in secular universities and Hindu ashrams. After studying in Swiss L’Abri for six months, he returned to India to serve the rural poor through several creative projects. This frontline engagement with oppression and corruption sent him to jail, helped prevent the revival of widow-burning, and led to politically organizing peasants and lower-caste “untouchables.” A dynamic and engaging speaker, Vishal has lectured in thirty-five countries and authored fourteen books. Christianity Today calls him “India’s foremost Christian intellectual.”
