Ashik wrote, “I met a 16-year-old (12) kid named Nagaraj who aspires to become an lAS officer. He lives in the slums of Bangalore and is currently studying in 6th grade. Nagaraj’s hobby is reading books by Dr. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi, and he wants to learn more about our country’s freedom fighters. His ambition is to build a house, help struggling people around him, and offer food to the starving.
