The Entangled Activist is the story of how activism is entangled in the problems it seeks to solve, told by a hard-hitting campaigner who through personal experience –– as well as extensively researched psycho-social enquiry –– comes to look at activism very differently.

If you ask me what sustains you, without feeling frustrated or disappointed or despondent, I would say that for me, activism is not about achieving results, activism is about being engaged in the process, because process itself has its own value. There is no utopia out there which we can establish. It's always a process of living. Every day, we have to shower—there's no utopia that you can have one shower and the rest of your life you are clean. Every day you get hungry, and there is no utopia that one day you eat, and for the rest of your life you are not hungry It's a process. Activism is every day doing something that is worth doing.
