A true visionary, our inspiration, our strength, someone who saw far beyond his time. When silence was the norm, he chose courage. When injustice was accepted, he chose to challenge it. He stood firmly against the deep-rooted inequities of society, daring to speak when few had the will to do so.
He fought for the dignity and rights of the marginalized, laying the very foundation upon which Tara and Fair Trade stand today. Every step we take forward is guided by the path he carved with conviction, compassion and belief in justice.
Though many years have passed since his departure, his presence is deeply felt in our work, our values and our purpose. We miss his guidance, his vision and his strength more than words can express. We pray that wherever his journey has taken him beyond this life, he is at peace, knowing that his legacy lives on through all of us, every single day.
Late Prof. Shyam S. Sharma (1934-2009)
