HV Public Presentation
At Balwyn Library Meeting Room, Whitehorse Road, Balwyn – also by Zoom
The caste system of India is one of the most pernicious systems of discrimination that persists in the world today. What is it all about, and how does it manifest itself in the Indian diaspora around the world? What may be happening in Australia in this regard, and how could Australia respond to this problem which has deep implications for Human Rights?
Babu Gogineni was International Director of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (now Humanists International) for 17 years.

While in India he was a broadcaster with his own TV show in the Telugu language, ‘The Big Question with Babu Gogineni’. He moved to Melbourne in 2019.
