LETTER OF SUPPORT AND

CONDEMNING THE
ARREST OF DISHA RAVI
BY ALUMNI OF MOUNT CARMEL COLLEGE

We, the alumni of Mount Carmel College, condemn the arrest of our fellow alum Disha Ravi
by the Delhi Police. The blatant targeting of a young woman citizen expressing her support
with the nation’s protesting farmers is horrifying and completely unacceptable. We demand
that the Delhi Police release her and the Bangalore police and Karnataka government act to
protect the constitutional rights of a woman resident of the state of Karnataka.
Ms. Ravi is one of the best among us, fulfilling her duties as a citizen of India, and indeed of
the world, through her activism in the field of climate change. As co-founder of Fridays for
Future in India, she has coordinated with climate activists across the world to get politicians
and corporations to act and undertake measures to prevent the world from getting worse. Her
participation as a young woman of colour in climate change activism has been important in
bringing attention to the vulnerabilities faced by marginalised communities in countries of
Global South. As we all know, the terrible impact of climate change cannot be ignored as
evidenced by the ongoing disaster at Uttarakhand where hundreds of people are believed to
be buried dead. It is these kinds of environmental disasters, enabled by the weakening of the
provisions of the Environment Impact Assessment, that Ms. Ravi has worked to bring to
public attention.
Her sense of history is remarkable as she has drawn not only from her personal, familial
history of farmer-grandparents and the difficulties they suffered due to the impact of climate
change on agricultural practices. She has also drawn her inspiration to protest and lend her
voice to farmers’ protests in the country from the greatest of people’s movements in
India—the Independence struggle. Through her work, Disha stands as a model to emulate.
Her arrest, we believe, is a way to browbeat young, articulate women—which Mount Carmel
College has produced for generations—into silent submission.
We unconditionally express support to her and her family in this time of distress and are
proud of the work she has undertaken in the field of climate change activism.
