Started on 21 September 2018, Truth Is Vegan is a non-profit animal rights entity run independently by animal rights activist Dr Harsha Atmakuri (MBBS).
The name “Truth Is Vegan” came from the firm realisation that: “Anyone who sincerely seeks Truth will inevitably come to the conclusion that there’s a need for Justice. The only way to achieve justice is through veganism.”
By profession, Dr Harsha Atmakuri used to work as a Medical Writer. However, he left his job back in May 2018 to become a full-time independent Animal Rights Activist to fight ‘oppression’ done to the most innocent victims in the world – Animals – by humans. He raises awareness about the violence that we all humans inflict to other sentient beings around us as part of our Social Conditioning through our lifestyle, primarily through our dietary habits.
He does various forms of awareness campaigns on Veganism and Animal Rights like – public outreaches, lectures in colleges and institutions, produce/direct/edit short documentaries and videos, design digital posters, write articles, conduct interviews, etc. He is also a bird feeder and occasionally participates in animal rescues as well.
He also founded and runs the page VEGANS OF INDIA, a photoblog and a read series – stories of vegans living/travelling in India.
