About Nurdin M. Kassam
Nurdin M. Kassam was born and raised as part of the Indian diaspora in colonial East Africa where he experienced institutionalized racism first-hand and witnessed the marginalization of colonized peoples. He rebelled against the injustices he witnessed and was inspired to challenge the status quo, which he felt he could best do if he became a lawyer. Against all odds, he qualified as a lawyer, earning a Bar-at-Law from Lincoln’s Inn and a Master of Law from Yale University. He taught at the University of Papua New Guinea and, in Canada, taught and practised law, specializing in mediation. He has designed and facilitated seminars on mediation internationally. He first read Bhārelo Agni at the age of seventeen and felt that its powerful message of love and non-violence should be translated into English for a wider audience. He has now fulfilled his decades-long commitment to translate the book.
