Spice FM Baba Ghai Part2

Amnesty International have hailed his, "enlightening, pacifying and unifying effect among communities around the world". Dedicating over 30 years to humanitarian public servicee, Baba Ghai is renowned for his leadership and statesmanship. His ideals and vision have guided and established the charity for almost quarter of a century.

He arrived in Britain from Kenya in the 1950s on the eve of the Mau-Mau rebellion.

Active in politics since the 1970s when he was acclaimed as one of the most promising prospective parliamentary candidates of his generation, his life faced a dramatic change after a serious car accident in New Delhi, 1987. It was the pivotal moment after which he immersed himself in charitable service and that passion remains undimmed to this very day, in spite of debilitating ill health.

His unqualified commitment to charitable service have inspired those around him for decades and established the charity at the defining edge of the most challenging issues today.

His formative years were passed in the complany of the Indian sub continent's most revered Hindu, Sikh and Muslim saints, fakirs and pirs; infusing a passion for just and humane social policy.

He speaks 12 languages fluently (in addition to dozens of African dialects) and is recognised as an inspiration to communities from across the faith spectrum. To many he is simply known as 'Baba ji', a term of respect conferred upon learned elders and the enlightened in South East Asia.

Baba Ghai is also a former Vice Chair of Newcastle Racial Equality Council, Patron of Newcastle Indian Association and a Charity Commission-appointed Arbitrator for various North East faith organisations.
