Few activists have been a part of public life in the way Aruna Roy has. Over four decades she and her colleagues in the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) have tirelessly been a voice for the unheard. From working with communities in Rajasthan, they helped frame laws on the Right to Information and Employment Guarantee. Civil Society spoke to Roy on the Cockroach Janta Party and the recent student agitation.
