SYED GHANI KHAN

The son of a farmer, Syed Ghani Khan was curious about farming since his childhood. Whenever his father gave him a handful of seeds, he would sow them right in front of his house in Mandya’s Kirugavalu village, eagerly awaiting a change in the morning.

That fascination with seeds and farming eventually led him to set up a unique rice diversity museum, an extension of his efforts to preserve paddy and mango varieties, and disseminate conservation lessons. Taking it to the next level, Khan assessed the nutritional profile of every paddy variety in his collection, taking help from scientists.

SHAILAJA PADINDALA

Shailaja Padindala had made a bold statement with her 10-minute short film ‘Memories of a Machine’ in 2016. It had courted controversy but garnered global appreciation for its daring look at the rarely tackled theme of sexual exploration. For six years after that project, the queer filmmaker has not looked back, carving a niche for herself in a cinematic world all her own.

Her ‘Naanu Ladies,’ touted as Kannada cinema's first lesbian love story, clinched the Best LGBTQI+ Film award at the prestigious Tasveer South Asian Film Festival in Seattle last October. But that was just one of many accolades that came her way, as she challenged conventional ideas taking the cinematic route.

T V RENUKAMMA

Forced to become a Devadasi at 18 years of age, T V Renukamma, now 59, is well aware of the trauma, humiliation and extremes of the inhuman practice. The Devadasi tag deprived her of the joys of womanhood, making her feel alienated and lonely.

But she chose not to suffer. Fighting tooth and nail to stop the system and the dreadful rituals associated with the system, she cut out a different path. Her unrelenting struggle has forced the government to shift its focus on rehabilitation of Devadasis and welfare of their children.
