About this title

About the Author

Nandita Haksar (b 1954) is a human rights lawyer, campaigner and teacher. She has taken up cases on behalf of adivasis, workers, and religious minority workers. Haksar has been associated with the Burmese resistance movement since 1988, when there was a national uprising followed by a military crackdown, which forced Burmese students and activists to take shelter in India. As a human rights lawyer, she has fought cases on behalf of Burmese refugees and continues to do so as more refugees flee to India from Myanmar. In the process, she has set important precedents in refugee law. Haksar is the author of more than 20 books, including her latest, co-authored with Burmese journalist Soe Myint, titled "Resisting Military Rule in Burma (1988-2024): The Story of Mizzima Media - Born in Exile, Banned in Myanmar" (2025). Her writings have earned her numerous awards for her contributions to peace in conflict areas.
