Siddharth Thakeria is a Humanities and Social Science graduate from Manipal Centre for Humanities. He has spent the last three years studying english literature, sociology, and philosophy. What inspired him to be a part of the Young India Fellowship was the opportunity to pursue disciplines which go beyond the purview of humanities and the social sciences, without having to relinquish the area of studies he truly enjoys like literature, sociology, history, etc. His hobbies include reading and listening to music.
