He is a Delhi-based bilingual (English and Hindi) journalist, poet, playwright, publisher, scriptwriter, and rights activist. However, he prefers to be known as a perpetual struggle, wanderer, truth seeker, minimalist, and humanist. Early life and EducationSuresh was born to subsistence farming parents – Anandi and Chaitram in a tiny village, Onchar, near Pauri in Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, India, on 29 April 1956. However, his official date of birth is 3 October 1956. It was funny that he ‘manipulated’ his date of birth in the ‘larger interest of society and for a noble cause’. When he was not even 14, he thought changing his date of birth to 3 October would mean two days’ uninterrupted holiday for the Indian people as he was ‘bound to become another Mahatma Gandhi’. That was, however, not to be. Suresh went to school only when he was seven. His mother would not send him to school before that age as the primary school was some 3 km away and the road to it was quite sharp. Also, a thick jungle was also in between. He chose to go to the school reluctantly and sometimes would return home without visiting the school. The primary school near Pisolie village was full of very good teachers including Dhruva Dutt Dobhal. There, Suresh proved to be a quick learner. He started teaching the Devanagari script to the village women when he was himself in the third standard. Obviously, he was among the brightest students, though he was very poor in mathematics and its streams. Later, he went to a public school in Chandigarh and then to the government schools in Delhi and Garhwal and then again Delhi. He topped his school in the 8th standard board examination in Garhwal. He passed his higher secondary examination in Delhi with good marks as well. He wanted to go for higher studies in the humanities stream but the college asked him to do BCom (Honours) as he had got good marks in the secondary examination. Somehow, he was reluctant and next year chose English Honours course instead of in another college of the University of Delhi. After his BA (Hons) in English Literature from the University of Delhi, he got admission in MA English in the same university but never completed it. By this time, he was of the view that futile education would not take him anywhere. His eldest sister Satya was married off before he was born. He saw her for the first time when he was more than 10 years of age. His other siblings include Lakshmi, Shambhu Prasad (late), Sulochana, Jagdish Prasad and Manju akka Bhagirathi. Lakshmi took care of him when he was a child. She gave him the name, Suresh, which originally was Govind given by his father or the purohit. Suresh is a Masters in human rights from the Pondicherry University and Masters in journalism & mass communication from the GJ University. He did his Parliamentary Fellowship from the Institute of Constitutional & Parliamentary Studies New Delhi. Professional careerHe has written several hundred poems in English and Hindi and some of them were published in the prestigious Sahitya Akademi journal, Indian Literature, and in two anthologies published in the USA. His English poems were translated into Finnish language and published in Finland. He has edited more than 70 books and other publications. Prominent among them are a 350-page volume, Uttarakhand: A Study, Assessment & Proposal (In Geographical, Economical & Administrative Context), on the Uttarakhand movement and a 310-page volume on housing rights and state of evictions in India-- “Eviction Watch-II”, Beside, he edited four volumes on the marginalised sections of society titled as “Unheard Voices of the Majority” series in English for Citizens Global Platform 9CGP). He also edited eminent lawyer Colin Gonsalves’ popular book, Kaliyug: The Decline of Human Rights Law in the Period of Globalisation, on human rights and law. In 1984, Suresh joined a Hindi weekly, Pratipaksha, edited by eminent Socialist leader George Fernandes. Next year in March, he joined Univarta, the Hindi wire service of the United News of India (UNI). He gave up this job in 1993 and then joined an English daily, The Observer of Business & Politics, at its Delhi office. He gave up this job in December 2000 as Special Correspondent and accepted an offer to head The Hindustan Times in the newly formed state of Uttarakhand. But, this was not to be. Later, he joined a popular Hindi daily, Amar Ujala, for a few months and then gave up the job as well. For a brief period, he became media adviser to a central minister but he did not like the functioning of the government offices and gave up the assignment quite soon. Then, he started his own Hindi periodic paper, Uttarakhand Prabhat, which was published for next five years and then was stopped for two years and then brought out again for another five years till 2012 with a friend’s help. In 2002, he joined a Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) programme, South Asian Dialogues on Ecological Democracy (SADED), as its Coordinator and simultaneously was India Coordinator for the Helsinki Process on Democratisation. Later, he was India Coordinator of the Citizens’Global Platform (CGP) guided by the United Nations’ programme. After these assignments, he joined the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) as Director and Executive Editor of Combat Law, a Hindi magazine on human rights. Later, he was given additional responsibility of Associate Editor of the English edition of the same magazine. Soon after, he was promoted as Senior Director in the organization. In 2012, he gave up this challenging assignment and joined an information portal on Uttarakhand as its CEO and Executive Editor. He gave up this job in 2014 and chose not to work for others any longer. Earlier, he also worked for the official media, both DD News and AIR News for a long time. This was not the end of his professional story, however. Today, he works as Editorial Consultant with the English wire service of United News of India (UNI) at its New Delhi HQ. Political careerPolitically, he has been very active since 1974 and gradually rose as one of the key leaders of the Uttarakhand Movement that was spearheaded to get statehood for the mountainous part of Uttar Pradesh. On November 9, 2000, they got the statehood. During this Movement, he was the Spokesperson for the Uttarakhand Jan Sangharsh Vahini (UJSV) and the Uttarakhand Andolan Sanchalan Samiti (UASS). In 1996, he along with several others joined a regional political party, Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD) and left it in 2007 when that party was getting ready to support the BJP to form its government in the state of Uttarakhand. For obvious reasons, he was opposed to this ‘unholy’ coalition. Soon after, he was approached by his old Uttarakhand Movement friends and they asked him to join them. Suresh agreed but on the condition that the new political party would be a Green party. They agreed and gave him the responsibility to write a constitution and formulate policies for a regional Green party. This party, Uttarakhand Parivartan Party (UKPP), came into existence in January 2009 after two years’ deliberations. Suresh chose to be its convener for the national and international affairs and a member of the political affairs committee (PAC). Since the very beginning, Suresh was of the view that a regional party had its limitations even if it was a Green party. In the light of this thinking, his interaction with the Greens in India and abroad was continuing as he enjoyed a position on the Green parties’ top international body, Global Greens, and on the Asia Pacific Greens Federation (APGF) for several years. Presently, he is also on the Board of the Germany-based Democracy International, an organization that is devoted to Direct and participatory Democracy. His political co-traveler, Ms. Anita Nautiyal, in the meanwhile, kept on igniting and inspiring him to form a national Green party. Suresh was reluctant in the beginning as he knew the gigantic challenge. However, in 2016, he resigned from the UKPP and started working on the idea of a pan-India Green party. He along with Ms. Anita Nautiyal and other Green friends, traveled to several places in the country to convince people that there was a great need for a Green party that had a national perspective with an international approach. Whenever he visited a foreign country, people would inquire about the Green party in India and he would find it embarrassing to explain the ground reality. Finally, the India Greens was initiated on 2 July 2017, which became a formal political party on 18 November 2018 with the adoption of its constitution, preamble, core principles, policies, and action plan. Of course, an elected national executive is also in place. India GreensHe started his political party, India Greens - The Green Party of India on 2 July 2017. The party adopted its constitution on 18 November 2018 at its first ever National Convention.[1] He was the convener of the India Greens from 2 July 2017 till 18 November 2018. He was unanimously elected as party president on the same day after the adoption of the party constitution. Now for him and his party, the journey is arduous and challenging but they hope to move for making India ecologically and politically green and clean. After all, planet, people and peace are over profit! References1. ^India Greens Launched External links{{Commons category}}
