Raj is a very engaging speaker that inspired some very positive feedback from our students.

Raj is an excellent presenter. With over 80 Women’s Institute ladies at a meeting, Raj managed to keep the attention of the whole room. Raj spoke passionately and informative about ‘England and Indian Villages, the difference’. Raj spoke caringly about his personal experiences and how he and his family had been effected by situations. We had tears of laughter as well as tears of sadness. Raj’s inspirational 45 minute speech left us all questioning our own “first world problems” and thoughts. We would definitely have Raj come again to speak to us.

The topics covered by Raj are superbly balanced between gentle humour and the ability to provoke deeper thought amongst your audience. A rare gift. The members of Bristol Common Wealth Society are still enthusing about Raj’s talk and how delighted they were to welcome Raj back “by popular demand!”.
